Michael Lynch has released a new book, Sacred Places and Sacred Faces. He collated a collection of photographs of the Camino and asked pilgrims three simple questions.

This is a great chat about why we walk, what we believe, and what the Camino teaches us about living with ease.

This is one of my favourite podcasts - a re-visit of an interview from four years ago!!!! Liz ran the Alberquerque Police Dept's Homicide Unit for almost five years. 240 people were murdered on her watch, so she decided to honour them.....and how she did so is one of the best stories you're ever going to hear. You can find Liz, and the video of her Camino, at www.iwalkforthem.com

American author and travel writer Stacey Wittig has just updated her Spiritual Guide to the Wisconsin Way. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to talk about the American Camino.

I just loved Stacey's stories of the history and culture of this great American pilgrimage.

Amanda Downing walked the Camino de Santiago at her own pace. She wrote to me to day if she were to write a book about her Camino it would be called 'The Slow Camino MY WAY!' Amanda shares her story of being able to shed her expectations, fulfil her hopes and finding and learning to love, Albergue Amanda.

This episode is all about courage and having the courage to learn something new from old lessons.

Erica Jong, the American novelist and poet wrote:

"I have accepted fear as part of life — specifically the fear of change... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back."

Nick Maione is a Brooklyn-based poet, educator and visual artist. His new book is called "Infinite Arrivals" and it takes the reader on a journey of discovery through words and language. Nick's great talent is weaving through his poems a narrative that takes the reader back to where the poem was formed, and on many of the pages of Infinite Arrivals, that place is el Camino de Santiago.

In this episode Nick and I talk about inspiration, language, chance meetings, Camino blessings and Laverne and Shirley.

American pilgrim Shoshana Kerewsky's written two books on the Camino: Cancer, Kintsugi, Camino: A Memoir; and 50 Days in May: Reflections along the Camino de Santiago. Shoshana calls herself a queer, Jewish-Buddhist atheist…so this was always going to be an interesting interview. And it is!

Shoshana and I talk about her her life as a psychotherapist, her writing, her Camino AND her cancer. Her insight is astounding and her energy shines through every single word of the podcast. Enjoy. DM

You can find Shoshana's blog and wordpress here and her books are on sale here
