    Episode 22 - Season 2 Launch

    We're back with a new season! Season Two of Salt and Flickers begins with a conversation about creation — not just the finished product, but the messy, collaborative process behind it. In this special three-way episode, Howie sits down with artist and designer Eric Junker and illustrator and storyteller Jason Shelowitz, the two creative partners who helped bring the Salt and Flickers book to life. Together, they unpack how an idea that started as conversations about movement and mindset evolved into a physical object — a book shaped by community, trust, and shared vision. This episode sets the tone for the new season — a reminder that meaningful work is a long run, not a sprint, and that the strongest ideas come to life when people move together.

    Episode 21 - Emily Timmer

    Emily Timmer is a filmmaker, writer, coach, and endurance athlete whose creative life is deeply shaped by movement. Raised in Washington State and now based in Los Angeles, Emily has spent her life toggling between running and storytelling — using the same principles of patience, repetition, and presence to guide both. In this episode, Emily opens up about her journey through competitive running, her experience entering rehab for orthorexia, and how learning to run healthily reshaped her relationship to both her body and her work. She shares how writing a short novel during that time reignited her storytelling path, eventually leading her toward filmmaking and an MFA in Directing. We talk about training for her upcoming 50K, finishing the ninth draft of a feature film centered around an ultramarathon, and how endurance sports continue to inform her creative process. Emily reflects on loss, grief, and the role of somatic connection in healing — including how losing her best friend to cancer has found its way into her current script. The conversation also explores run club culture, community building, the pressures of brand involvement, and why Emily believes the running boom may be in a fragile bubble. Along the way, she shares what it means to “rest in motion,” why she sees herself as a jazz filmmaker, and how movement helps her stay balanced, embodied, and creatively alive. This episode is an honest meditation on discipline without punishment, creativity without isolation, and the quiet power of listening to the body — on the page, on the road, and in life.

    Episode 20 - Phoebe Robinson

    Phoebe Robinson is best known as a comedian, writer, actor, producer, and cultural powerhouse — co-host of Two Dope Queens, interviewer of Michelle Obama, bestselling author, and founder of Tiny Reparations Books. But in 2023, after a breakup and on the edge of turning 40, Phoebe decided to try something that had never clicked before: running. What began as a simple 5K training plan has evolved into marathons, strength cycles, Hyrox races, and a full-blown love affair with movement. In this conversation, Phoebe talks about embracing the discomfort of being a beginner, why running mirrors stand-up comedy, and how honoring your commitments builds confidence far beyond the miles. We explore the mental freedom she finds on the treadmill, the joy of the final finishers in New York, and the discipline, humor, and heart it takes to keep moving when things get hard. This is a funny, honest, and encouraging look at what happens when you give yourself permission to grow — slowly, imperfectly, and entirely on your own terms. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 19 - Raziq Rauf

    Raziq Rauf is the voice behind Running Sucks, a fast-growing newsletter and Instagram account that explores modern run culture with honesty, humor, and curiosity. A former music journalist, Raziq’s storytelling captures what running really feels like for most of us — messy, meditative, and profoundly human. In this episode, he and Howie dig into the parallels between writing, recovery, and running; how the “just do it” ethos still carries real weight; and why the best thing you can do for others is to take care of yourself first. From his days discovering Coldplay and Muse to posting his slow runs on Strava to help others feel seen, Raziq reminds us that running doesn’t have to be about winning — it’s about showing up, staying curious, and keeping the door open for everyone else to join.

    Episode 18 - Matt Wisner

    Matt Wisner has lived the full arc of the sport — from the high-stakes oval of NCAA and professional track to the freer, wider world of creative expression and longer distances. A former Duke and University of Oregon runner turned Oregon Track Club pro, Matt has since pivoted into storytelling, producing Alexi Pappas’s Mentor Buffet podcast and writing about the culture and meaning of running with rare honesty. Now based in Los Angeles, Matt is exploring the shift from chasing PRs to chasing perspective: why track once felt like running against time itself, how ultras and longer distances open up an entirely new way of experiencing the sport, and what happens when you stop holding on so tightly to metrics. We also talk about writing, coaching, and why running — at its best — is about lightness, freedom, and finding lessons that echo far beyond the course. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 17 - Chris Winterbauer

    Filmmaker and podcaster Chris Winterbauer has spent his life chasing structure, discipline, and flow — first through competitive tennis, then corporate finance, and eventually through the uncharted waters of film school at USC. Along the way, running became both a release and a teacher: a way to process, to reset, and to understand that progress comes not from racing every mile but from learning to love the process. In this episode, Chris talks about his journey from the Pacific Northwest to Los Angeles, the parallels between marathon training and screenwriting, and how running helps him break down scripts, solve creative problems, and protect his focus. We explore how athletic family roots instilled an obsession with training, the challenges of dramatizing sports on screen, and the lessons of patience, consistency, and resilience that running keeps teaching him.

    Episode 16 - John Freeman

    John Freeman’s story is one of movement in every sense of the word. Born in Australia and drawn to landscapes that shaped his identity, John’s journey took him through bike racing in New York, years of undocumented life in the U.S., and the hard-earned clarity of sobriety. Along the way, running became more than a sport, it became a practice of presence, self-love, and spiritual grounding. In this conversation, John opens up about navigating recovery, the empowering edge of unsanctioned races, and the ways running and farming reconnect him with both family and land. We talk about the rebellious spirit of high school teams, the meditative calm of start lines, and how creating a DIY running zine is helping him reclaim his artistic voice. This is an honest, layered look at resilience, creativity, and the power of putting one foot in front of the other. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
