| 5/25/26 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 18: The Camino Companion Office | Send us Fan Mail At the end of a very long walk, many pilgrims have a need to talk about their pilgrimage, to process the many hours spent on the road to Santiago. In the pilgrims office where a pilgrim gets the final stamp on the credential and receives the Compostela, there is another office, the Camino Companion Office, wherein a pilgrim can go and discuss the journey that they've just completed with volunteers like Sister Mary and Margaret from Scotland. The office offers an opportunity t... | 21m 30s | ||||||
| 5/14/26 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 17: Camino 2025 in Review with Father Jerome | Send us Fan Mail At the very end of Camino 2025, Father Jerome and I spent time discussing his pilgrimage from Burgos to Leon, and then from Sarria to Santiago--a total of 200 miles on the Camino Frances. Our discussion took place on the patio of Camino Curry, my new favorite restaurant in Santiago owned by Kamal and his family. Father Jerome's reflections spring from his deep faith in the Catholic tradition and his pastoral perspective as a Dominican priest. I enjoyed walking with him and ap... | 20m 40s | ||||||
| 5/6/26 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 16: Camino Massages with Danny | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I interview Danny, the owner and massage therapist of Camino Massages located in Santiago a few doors down from Camino Curry. Danny walked the Camino Norte in 2014 and knows the challenges that pilgrims face when walking day in and day out for more than thirty days. He gives tips on foot care and foot wear as well as insights on how to approach the pilgrimage to Santiago. I enjoyed speaking with Danny, and I think you'll enjoy listening to him as he shares hi... | 27m 27s | ||||||
| 4/24/26 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 15: 400,000 Steps Alone | Send us Fan Mail 400,000 steps with almost no conversation is a different kind of loud. From the plaza in front of the Santiago Cathedral, we sit down with Ron from Oregon right after he finishes a solo walk from Porto to Santiago, largely in silence, giving himself hours each day to think, remember, and let life catch up with him. Ron breaks down the practical side of a Portuguese Coastal Route Camino de Santiago pilgrimage: why the coast felt right, what a sustainable pace looks like (arou... | 10m 28s | ||||||
| 3/28/26 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 14: Planning for a Future Camino with Steve Lighty | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, my good friend, Steven Lighty, and I discuss the many different facets of the Camino and what it takes to prepare for the long trek across Spain. Steve and his wife, Maryann, plan on walking the pilgrimage in a few years. Their preparation is essentially underway as they consider what route to travel and what to pack for their journey. It seems the Camino has their number, and it is very difficult not to answer once you've heard the call. | 1h 08m 23s | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 13: A Short Reflection on Camino #10 | Send us Fan Mail I recorded this short episode in the Praza de Obradoiro, the plaza facing the western facade of the cathedral. I speak of some of the blessings attached to my tenth Camino. Each of the ten have deepened my understanding of what it means to be part of a pilgrim Church and a pilgrim people. We are headed home to Heaven and the more we understand the nature of our pilgrimage the more apt we are to travel light and to appreciate the simple things in our lives. Have a listen. | 7m 05s | ||||||

We met in an albergue in Santiago at the end of our treks into the holy city. Constantine yearns for nature in contrast to his urban lifestyle back home in Germany. The Camino offers him nature and time to slow down and reflect. Take a few moments and enter into my conversation with Constantine--I think you'll e... | 13m 42s | ||||||
| 1/23/26 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2 Episode 10: Gabriel's Quest | Send us Fan Mail I met Gabriel outside of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. He was sitting on the steps that lead down to the back entrance to the church. Although I felt self-conscious tapping him on the shoulder and asking him if he would like to be interviewed about his journey, I am so glad I did because Gabriel had a lot to share. He spoke candidly about his faith and his relationship with the Blessed Mother and his guardian angel. I think you will enjoy this one--have a listen. | 20m 22s | ||||||
| 1/2/26 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 9: Called to Serve-Kamal's Journey | Send us Fan Mail This episode is a wonderful tale of Kamal's call to walk the Camino Frances and to feed the fellow pilgrims he met at the albergues he stayed.

His forty day journey is filled with profound insights into the Camino and listeners will come away from this episode edified and inspired. Have a listen. | 41m 13s | ||||||

| 12/3/25 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2 Episode 8: A Bed, A Sheet, and A Shower-An Irish Perspective on the Camino | Send us Fan Mail I met Marie and Giselle on the road to Santiago. It was a hot day on the Camino, and everyone was feeling the drain. We were only a few days away from the cathedral, and they agreed to be guests on the podcast once the pilgrimage was complete. Our conversation covers a lot of ground about the Camino and about life in general. Have a listen--I think you'll enjoy this episode. | 34m 30s | ||||||
| 11/21/25 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2 Episode 7 - John Paul from Argentina | Send us Fan Mail I took a chance asking Juan Pablo to be a guest on the podcast. He was sitting in a park in the town of Portomarin writing in his journal, and I didn't want to bother him. I'm glad I did. He is originally from Argentina, but moved to Spain to study for an advanced degree. While in Spain, people encourage him to walk the Camino--if your Spanish, it's almost a mandate to travel to Santiago on foot. I enjoyed my conversation with Juan Pablo--John Paul--and think you will, too. B... | 24m 06s | ||||||
| 11/6/25 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 6: The Boys from Belgium | Send us Fan Mail This episode of These Holy Bones is a conversation with two young men from Belgium, Yelle and Laurens, who are childhood friends. I met them in a crowded restaurant the night before this interview. They graciously invited me to sit with them for dinner. In the spirit of the Camino, we shared food, conversation and laughter. Although this interview is relatively short, it conveys the heart of the Camino--a simple walk of faith and friendship. | 10m 57s | ||||||

Simon suggests walking without distractions--no music, no conversations--just the sound of your feet on the path and the thoughts in your head. I enjoyed speaking with Simon, and I think you will enjoy his youthful enthusiasm and idealism. Buen Camino! | 14m 17s | ||||||
| 9/26/25 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 4: Encountering Your Camino Family | Send us Fan Mail In this fourth episode of season two, I interview Claude from Paris, France. She explains how she was told that her Camino family would consist of the people with whom she began her journey--she would see them all along the way: in albergues, in bars, in restaurants and on the road as she traveled toward Santiago. This is exactly how Claude experienced the coming together of her Camino family. Have a listen and meet Claude on her way across Spain--she has insights to share no... | 15m 56s | ||||||
| 9/19/25 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 2-Episode 3 - Julie, the Danish Pilgrim | Send us Fan Mail This past August, I spent the first night of my tenth pilgrimage in Hornillos del Camino.

| 9/4/25 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Volume 2 - Episode 1: A Debrief of My Latest Camino or An Introduction to Season 2 | Send us Fan Mail This is the first episode of volume two of the podcast. In this episode, my wife, Karen, helps me to debrief after my tenth Camino, a walk of two hundred miles that included the Meseta-my favorite section of the Camino Frances. This was by far the most intense pilgrimage of the ten that I've walked--probably because I'm getting older and the joints are a bit more worn than in the past. My wife asks some good questions that help me reflect on another Camino. I hope you enjoy l... | 35m 56s | ||||||
| 6/17/25 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Vol. 1 Episode 14 - Off The Road by Jack Hitt - A Book Review | Send us Fan Mail Jack Hitt's 1991 account of his Camino journey is a tale filled with quirky yet unforgettable characters. Hitt leaves a New York editing career to venture across Spain for a second time; his first pilgrimage was in 1981 after graduating from college. The book was later used by actor/writer/director Emilio Estevez for the movie The Way -- one of my all time favorites. I recommend Off The Road, especially coupled with the film, The Way for all Camino enthusiasts. | 25m 16s | ||||||

| 5/8/25 | ![]() These Holy Bones: Episode 11 - Pace and Price | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, my wife Karen and I discuss a daily approach to walking the Camino along with an approach to spending money on the road. Your pace is a very important aspect of the pilgrimage and should be considered before you take your first step. And of course you should consider a basic budget that can act as a guide for your spending on your walk to Santiago. | 31m 33s | ||||||
