My Camino - the podcast

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 once again. Thank you Dan and Buen Camino!

Dan is an outstanding interviewer. He knows how to ask just the right questions, listening with sincerity and empathy. The stories that find there way to the top feel organic. Our Tuesdays are brighter because we know we’ll hear another outstanding Camino story which keeps the Camino alive for us when we can’t be walking it. Buen Camino Dan! Keep up the great work!

Love this podcast!

The host is pleasant and likable. This show is not so much practical like other podcasts, but more about the spirit of the Camino. And that’s where the problem comes in. 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 who walked the Camino to honor the faith and saints who made it.”
