    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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lisa Sweeney | Ireland's National Famine Way
Q: what made you decide to swap Spain for Ireland?
Lisa explains she wanted to explore belonging and identity tied to Irish ancestry, and the National Famine Way offered a meaningful way to connect personal history with a broader diaspora narrative.
Dave Newlin | One Diagnosis. One Extraordinary Journey
Q: Hey, take us back. How did the Camino come into your life?
I first learned about it from a movie ad, then watched The Way, and gradually became inspired by books and the idea of transforming health and life through the walk; I trained, lost weight, and walked the Camino Francis in 2018.
Stacey Wittig | Sacred places not to miss on the Camino
Q: What is the seven-word prayer and how does it fit into preparation for the Camino?
The seven-word prayer is a practice to distill one's intention for the journey, starting months before departure and evolving into a daily mantra during the walk.
Stacey Wittig | Sacred places not to miss on the Camino
Q: When did you hear about the Camino and what made you decide it was something you wanted to do?
Stacey recalls first hearing about the Camino in 1995 while with friends in Granada, then actually stepping onto the trail ten years later, and returning for years after that to explore its deeper meanings.
Rocco Rossi | Rocco's new book "Finding Grace" is out today
Q: How did the Camino influence your writing process?
The Camino provided material from 23 Caminos, journals, and conversations, and the discipline of walking daily helped organize thoughts, while silence sharpened the storytelling.
