Jerry Agar explores why social media bans may miss the mark when it comes to protecting young people, highlighting perspectives from youth on what actually improves online safety. Listeners weigh in on parenting ambition, debating whether pushing kids toward stardom—sparked by reflections on Taylor Swift’s success—can do more harm than good, especially for other children. The conversation then shifts to identity and perception in Toronto, as former CSIS and RCMP undercover operative Mubin Shaikh discusses the complexities of being brown in Canada amid heightened tensions following a high-profile police killing. The hour wraps with author and business leader Rocco Rossi, who shares insights from his novel Finding Grace, a story about grief, personal growth, and the search for human connection.

2026 Camino Walks with the Camino Cafe Podcast -  with Leigh and Rocco: Email mailto:leighbrennan+caminocafe@gmail.comThis week's show is sponsored by Airas Nunes:https://maps.app.goo.gl/bWr3YE8AveXj47zt6If you like the work that's being done on The Camino Cafe Podcast, I'd be honored if you supported me through "Buy Me a Coffee" :https://buymeacoffee.com/caminocafepodcastThe Camino Cafe podcast makes an exciting return as host Leigh Brennan welcomes listeners back from a hiatus caused by her move to the United States. Though she misses the immediacy of Santiago and stepping directly onto Camino paths, Leigh shares her renewed commitment to promoting pilgrim journeys as pathways toward healing.Joining the conversation is veteran pilgrim Rocco Rossi, speaking directly from Santiago de Compostela after completing what he considers his 21st Camino since 2002. Rocco offers fascinating real-time insights about current conditions on various routes, noting dramatic differences in pilgrim traffic. While he walked the Camino Madrid completely alone, Santiago now welcomes over 2,000 pilgrims daily during Holy Week, with the vast majority arriving via the Frances or Portuguese routes.Rocco's wisdom shines through as he explains why he keeps returning to the Camino: "If you find something in your life that brings you joy, clarity, and energy, the real question is why aren't you doing it more than once?" He likens the Camino to an oxygen mask that centers and revitalizes him annually, enabling him to better navigate life's challenges. Despite walking solo at times, Rocco emphasizes that the heart of every Camino lies in the connections formed with locals and fellow pilgrims who enrich the journey immeasurably.The episode concludes with an exciting announcement about Leigh and Rocco potentially co-leading a group Camino in 2026, inviting listeners to share input about their ideal pilgrim experience. Whether you're planning your first Camino or your tenth, this episode rekindles the special magic that draws us to these ancient paths time and again.

The rain beats down on Santiago de Compostela's ancient stones as Johnny Walker connects from the Parador's Royal Dining Room, overlooking sodden pilgrims braving hailstones and downpours during the spiritually significant Holy Week. Despite the weather, pilgrimage numbers continue to swell as travelers arrive hoping to experience Easter in this sacred city.Fresh from a whirlwind North American tour promoting "The Way, My Way," Johnny shares heartwarming stories of packed theaters and pilgrim connections across major cities. What began as film screenings transformed into impromptu pilgrim gatherings, complete with blessing ceremonies using scallop shells from Santiago's cathedral. Most moving was a 16-year-old viewer who, inspired by the film, publicly committed to walking the Camino—receiving her own blessed shell amidst thunderous cries of "Buen Camino" from fellow audience members.Santiago's Holy Week traditions take center stage in our conversation, from Palm Sunday's blessed branches to Easter Sunday celebrations, with thirteen traditional processions threading through the city's narrow streets. Johnny provides fascinating historical context about the distinctive medieval penitent costumes worn during these processions, clearing up common misconceptions about their origins. We also discuss the Pilgrim Office's revised Compostela requirements, which now recognize journeys of at least 70 kilometers within Spain, and hear from veteran pilgrim Rocco Rossi, who perfectly articulates why so many of us return to the Camino time and again: "If you find something in your life that brings you joy, clarity, and energy, the real question is why aren't you doing it more than once?" Whether you're planning your first Camino or your twenty-first, this perspective reminds us of the path's enduring power to transform lives with each journey.Support the showConnect with Leigh:Camino News Update https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9jRyUVnjI4WJMbM7rEbXW9ycGuQwm8Ae&si=vKPxgrYLQfyC_m4HSubscribe to our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6VN9ze3z61n6tRLtDXWuQwFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecaminocafepodcast/The Camino Cafe's intro and outro song with thanks to fellow Pilgrim, Jackson Maloney.

I spoke to Rocco last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy this re-visit with Rocco, - I'll be back again next week. Buen Camino - Dan

Canadian Pilgrim, Rocco Rossi, has walked The Camino thirteen times!  His first walk was to help him process the grief he felt after the untimely loss of his best friend and business partner. Rocco, while struggling to deal with this tragic loss, luckily came across a  newspaper article about The Camino at one of his lowest points.  A week or so later, he was headed to walk that first of thirteen Caminos. Rocco's entire outlook on life and work completely changed after becoming a Pilgrim.  During this talk, you will hear several wonderful stories about his Caminos, the various routes he's walked, the folks he met along the way, and his first time leaving stones at Cruz de Ferro. Most inspiring to me is how the Camino helped him process his grief, transform his life,  and how he is now paying it forward. Rocco says the  Camino reignited his inner light.  I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation. Please share it with a friend that hopes to walk a Camino. Here's a link to Albergue de Peregrinos Duesos. This is the Albergue Rocco mentions that his dear Pilgrim friends recently opened on The Camino Norte:  https://www.facebook.com/alberguedeperegrinosduesosHere's a link to The Camino Cafe's intro and outro song that Rocco mentions in the interview. Many thanks to Pilgrim, Jackson Maloney, for giving us the credit to use the song he wrote  upon arrival at Finisterre. Original Song  -  "Finnis Terre"  - written and performed by Jackson Maloney - Pilgrim, Singer, Musician, and Songwriter.Connect with Jackson:https://open.spotify.com/artist/3fdQsSqq9pDSwKcWlnBHKRTo connect with Leigh:https://linktr.ee/leighbrennanThe Camino Cafe Pilgrim Family:Spanish for the CaminoHeading to walk soon?
