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

Andrew Jones is a pilgrim from South Australia. A devoted follower of Christ and family man, Andrew walked the Camino in 2023 to shed his skin, to unravel the layers he'd wrapped himself in, for years. The rain kept him humble, and his prayers and devotions kept him open to the gifts and joys of pilgrimage.

This is a wonderful episode about courage, intuition and kindness. Andrew typifies all three.

Australian pilgrims Carmen Velasco and Louise Wilsher walked the Camino finding time to cherish the culture and heritage of Spain. It was particularly poignant because Carmen was born in Spain and raised in Australia.

This is a wonderful story about taking your time on the Camino; walking to soak up what the Camino has to offer, from centuries old churches to the best tomatoes in the world.

Steven 'Spillano' Spillane is an Australian pilgrim who has been a dear friend of mine for 30+ years. Spillano walked with me in May on my magical musical Camino.

His job was to call "Buen Camino' in the second last chorus at the end of Somewhere Along the Way, and he performed his duty with gusto.

A true gentleman. Pure class.

I'm super busy promoting my new album so I have fallen behind in pre-recorded episodes. I'll be re-visiting old eps from time to time. Martin Jamieson is a British-born Canadian businessman. He's an organised guy! So what did he learn about himself on the Camino; what did he learn about others....? And his Camino stories are pure gold.
