    Dan Mullins -The Camino podcast

    Dan Mullins has a beautiful voice and a warm, engaging presence. He clearly enjoys talking to his guests, and that energy is a real strength of the podcast. He’s a delightful interviewer, and it’s obvious that he puts care into every episode.

    That said, as someone who has walked the Camino twice — starting in León, Spain, and covering around 160 miles — I feel that a very important part of the Camino is often missing from the podcast: the religious and spiritual ... more

  • “Spiritual but Not Religious”

    The host is pleasant and likable. This show is not so much practical but delves into pilgrim motivations and stories.

    In almost every episode, the guest is asked, “Are you spiritual?” And like clockwork, the guest responds, “I’m spiritual but not religious.” Or often, “I was raised Catholic but no longer practicing.”

    This call-response is so frequent as to become a show cliche. One guest even seemed to disrespect St. James.

    At least once I’d like to hear, “Yes, I am a practicing Catholic wh... more

  • Much needed Camino magic!

    Dan’s calming voice and heartfelt goodwill towards all bring much-needed relief in these troubled times. Listening to Dan and his amazing guests, I can’t wait to walk another Camino! Hit that reset button once more! With my wonderful wife I’ve done the Frances from SJPP, the Portugués from Coimbra, and the Way of St Francis from La Verna to Rome. In 2025 definitely going again, maybe the Via Podiensis. Dan’s amazing conversations feed the flames and keep me sane (sort of!) until I can set out on... more

Jo Penn | An author finds light in her darkness on the Camino

Jo Penn | An author finds light in her darkness on the Camino
Q: You walked three pilgrimages in three years and the experience changed your life, right? But firstly, you wrote in the book that you had reached a dark wood in your life. Tell us about the dark wood.

Nick Sassan | Walking the Camino in Birkenstocks!
Q: What do you do back home, Nick? What have you left to go on this adventure?

Nick Sassan | Walking the Camino in Birkenstocks!
Q: So what did The Camino teach you then about yourself, do you think?

Q: What's next for you? More writing, more walking, or both?
Arlene desires to write a children's book and continue walking more Caminos while enjoying time with her grandchildren.
