Hey you… Welcome to Episode 7 of One Step Beyond, a fortnightly show about positively engaging with the world outside our door, with host Tony Fletcher. On this episode, we go from the Catskill Mountains to the mountains of Colombia, in South America, with artist Ric Dragon, who gave up a successful business in the USA to pursue a dream of a rebirth abroad, founding an art center outside of Bogotá, Arte Sumapaz. Then we venture back onto the Catskill Mountains with legendary race director and coach Dick Vincent, to discuss trail running. Inevitably, in both stories, Coronavirus has had a significant impact, and we find ourselves discussing this, too.

Ep. 7: From the Catskills to Colombia (and back)

One Step Beyond is back. Whether it’s to hike a local trail or climb a distant mountain, move to a new country or travel somewhere new, run a first 5k, go rock climbing, tackle sexism in soccer or undertake an ultra-marathon, write to relieve PTSD or take up wildlife photography, this is the show for people looking to step outside their comfort zone and enrich their life. Join author, runner, broadcaster, and traveler Tony Fletcher every month on the podcast all about positively engaging with the world outside our door. Sign up for a free weekly newsletter from Tony; as well as news about this and his other show, The Fanzine Podcast, you'll get a weekly weekend long read. All in your Inbox for free from <a href="https://tonyfletcher.substack.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tonyfletcher.substack.com</a> Whether it’s to hike a local trail or climb a distant mountain, move to a new country or just travel somewhere new, run a first 5k, go rock climbing, tackle sexism in soccer or undertake an ultra-marathon, write to relieve PTSD or this is the show for you: people looking to step outside their comfort zone and enrich their life. Over the course of 40+ episodes, our shows have featured guests from Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Colombia, as well as the USA and UK, talking about . Those guests have included: the rock star who established the cancer foundation Love Hope Strength, and the former professional athlete behind the soccer-based initiative Equal Playing Field; an Afghan war veteran who became the first double above-knee amputee to climb Mt Kilimanjaro unaided; a Zen Buddhist teacher who authored a book on running; one American who moved to Bogota and set up an art colony; and another who gave up dreams of becoming a professional ventriloquist to instead find a new life as an award-winning wildlife photographer. We have talked to the pioneering female founder of Africa's first running shoe company, to a family that traveled round the world together for over two years, and to a teacher who founded a travel company to support students of color, along with several of those students. We have also talked to amateur adventurers of all ages who have set themselves fierce goals - like walking the length of India, or running the Sparta course in Greece unaided - and achieved them. The show includes several episodes recorded on location, beginning with a 4-part documentary about climbing Kilimanjaro, but also including in-the-field tips on hiking without navigational tools and running on trails; how to master an ultra-marathon; and how to give up your possessions and start a new life. Shows generally stay under an hour, include additional commentary and information, and do not shy away from current affairs. Tony Fletcher is the British-born author of best-selling biographies of Keith Moon, Wilson Pickett, R.E.M. and The Smiths, as well as a memoir, a novel and many other books on or about music. In 2016, he backpacked around the world with his then-wife and 11-year old younger son. In 2019 he&nbsp;hosted and wrote&nbsp;“It's A Pixies Podcast." A keen runner, with dozens of road and trail marathons to his name, he lives in Kingston, New York.
