Bob Edwards Weekend: Lewis Black, Keith Bellows from Bob Edwards Weekend by XM Radio

On the award-winning The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Lewis Black exercises his quick wit and ability to highlight inconsistencies in politics and culture. In a new collection of essays, Me of Little Faith, Black has turned his critical eye towards religion. He talks in a way most of the rest of us can't -- about violence committed in the name of God and about his smart rants on Comedy Central. Bob talks to Keith Bellows, editor-in-chief of National Geographic Traveler magazine. Bellows and his fellow writers have traveled the globe to compile a list of the 500 greatest trips the world has to offer. The book is called âJourneys of a Lifetimeâ and encompasses every continent and every possible mode of transportation, including the world's top 10 elevator rides.
