We're back in the UK, and we have an acting legend joining us this week - it's Jason Isaacs! Jason had already been in touch earlier in the week to apologise for ‘being a vegan who doesn't like vegetables'! But no bother! We cooked up a storm and we love a challenge. And Jason more than made up for it with his excellent table chat; we heard about working with Gillian Anderson on their new film ‘The Salt Path', filming White Lotus, how he married his wife for the health insurance, his encounter with a ghost, turning down West End shows, and we discover that men who are vegan have better erections… Plus Jason even treats us to a magic trick, the must see video will be on our socials this week. Don't miss Jason's beautiful new film The Salt Path, which is out in cinemas this Friday the 30th May. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From the bowels of a bustling Times Square restaurant (shot on a stage in Mexico) to a 1,000km coastal walk around England, Movie Squad goes around the globe this week. With Tristan Fidler away on special assignment, Lucy Rutherford kicks things off with a review of The Salt Path, starring Jason Isaacs and Gillian Anderson as a real, unhoused couple who are forced into an ultimately inspiring trek around England's longest footpath. Then, Simon Miraudo reviews the stressful Spanish-language, American-set, kitchen-based drama La Cocina, which has earned comparisons with The Bear for its chaotic energy. Will it leave Breakfast host (and former hospo veteran) Pam Boland saying, ‘Si, chef'? Both films are now in Australian cinemas. Keep listening for a pod-exclusive chat about stressful cinema.

Hello! I'm currently in the middle of producing a new series of The Outdoors Fix podcast. So in the meantime, I've got a special episode for you that I think you'll enjoy! Some of you will remember an episode I recorded with Matthew Bannister back in 2020 - he's the founder of the multi-award winning Folk on Foot podcast where he goes walking with leading folk musicians in beautiful spots that have inspired their music. I really loved chatting with Matthew and hearing all about how and why he started Folk on Foot, and I've devoured each episode over the years. It's an absolutely stunning podcast, and complete escapism, even if you're like me and don't know a huge amount about folk music. So I'm thrilled that he's let me share with you one of my favourite episodes of Folk on Foot which I think you'll love. It's Matthew's walk and conversation with the author Raynor Winn, who's bestselling book, The Salt Path, tells the story of her journey along the 630-mile South West Coast Path with her husband Moth, after they'd become homeless and he'd been diagnosed with a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Raynor has also been collaborating with the Gigspanner Big Band to create a show which marries her words about the South West and traditional music from the area. The Outdoors Fix has always been about sharing conversations and inspiration so we can all fit more of the outdoors into our lives - so I hope you enjoy Matthew's wonderful chat and walk with Raynor and you take away something from it too. There are dozens of other episodes of Folk on Foot available, recorded all over the country, from Shetland to Port Isaac, and with musicians like Eliza Carthy, Johnny Flynn and Karine Polwart. One of my favourite episodes is with Sam Lee where he sings among nightingales in Sussex - I'd definitely recommend listening to that one. Just search for Folk on Foot wherever you get your podcasts, or find them @folkonfoot on social media. If you'd like to listen to my conversation with Matthew on The Outdoors Fix, where he tells me all about his outdoors life and why he set up Folk on Foot, it's the episode from July 2020. And stay tuned for a brand new series of The Outdoors Fix podcast in the next few weeks! Until then, enjoy your adventures outside - we all know it's the best place there is.

As a furniture designer in Hampshire for the past 8 years, the provenance of the timber used in Charles Dedman's work has always been a point of interest and importance. That's why he is excited to be fundraising for Woodland Heritage, an organisation that promotes sustainable forestry in the UK through education and research. Its work ensures that woodlands are enjoyed and used by woodworkers and nature lovers for generations to come. To support this cause, he is taking a 9-week sabbatical break from emails and deadlines at Gaze Burvill to tackle arguably the UK's hardest trekking route - the South West Coast Path aka The Salt Path. This personal trek will test his mental and physical ability to the max, traversing 630 miles of coastline from Minehead in Somerset to Poole in Dorset. Along the way, he will be taking in some of the most beautiful beaches, paths, and woodlands and sharing it with Shine Radio listeners.

It's January (Again! So soon!) so, rather than give up everything, this month we're revisiting a host of episodes that are all about a little inspiration. First up the one and only Raynor Winn...---One hundred episodes... how did that happen?! The little podcast that started on a whim and a prayer (and no, that's not a typo!) is still here and soaring. So I could not think of a more fitting guest for such a landmark episode than a woman whose life is a tribute to the power of hope...Where do you turn when everything feels hopeless? My guest today knows the answer to better than most. Nine years ago, in the space of one week, Raynor Winn lost her home, and her husband, Moth, was diagnosed with a degenerative disease. In the face of such loss, there was only one thing to do: they packed what little of their life they could carry into their backpacks, and walked.That walk - 630 miles along the South West Coast path - became the bestseller The Salt Path. It sold a million copies, spent more than 90 weeks in the Sunday Times bestseller lists and changed thousands of lives - not least Raynor and Moth's.Despite defying the medical odds, two years ago Moth's health began to decline again. Clutching at hope, they set out for one last walk: this time 1000 miles, from Cape Wrath in the far North West of Scotland back home to Cornwall. But in walking back home, could they really walk Moth back to health a second time?Raynor joined me to talk about the book of that epic journey, Landlines, and how walking The Salt Path wiped her clean. We also discuss the power of walking, why nature has always been her safe place, putting yourself in the way of hope and how a shy girl hiding behind the sofa became a public person at 60. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including Landlines by Raynor Winn and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me!* And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com• The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Emily Sandford.

Celebrated author, Raynor Winn, joins Rachel to talk about the upcoming screen adaptation of her Sunday Times best-seller, The Salt Path, and the evocative and beautiful collaboration with The Gigpsanner Big Band that has created 'Saltlines', a project that combines prose and folk music with a focus on the coastline of the south west. About Raynor Winn Since travelling the South West Coast Path, Raynor Winn has become a regular long-distance walker and writes about nature, homelessness and the health benefits of walking. She is the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Salt Path, The Wild Silence and Landlines. She won the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland Prize in 2019 and has been shortlisted for numerous other awards including the Costa, the Wainwright and the Stanfords Travel Writing awards. Raynor is also a prolific speaker.  Her latest title, LANDLINES, was a number 1 Sunday Times bestseller in both hardback and paperback. The film adaptation of the 85-week Sunday Times Bestseller, THE SALT PATH, will be released in 2024 and stars Gillian Anderson as Raynor and Jason Isaacs as Moth. In 2022 Raynor collaborated with folk-roots supergroup The Gigspanner Big Band to create Saltlines, a prose and music collaboration. Thought-provoking compositions by Raynor were written with songs and tunes curated from collections by Cecil Sharp and Sabine Baring-Gould, and the archive held at Cecil Sharp House, home of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. The show enjoyed a debut tour in 2022 around the South West Coast Path, and expanded its reach during 2023 with a tour of the North.  Raynor is also a much valued Ambassador at the Association.

Trish and Lorraine have a girl crush moment when they interview one of their favourite authors, Raynor Winn, about her latest book Landlines for this season's book club episode. The million-selling writer of The Salt Path, which charts her journey from homelessness and financial disaster to starting over in midlife, discusses how to overcome fear when life seems to be falling apart, living with her husband Moth's incurable disease and the healing power of nature. And she reveals what happened when she met Gillian Anderson who plays Raynor in the film of her life, out next year.Plus: Your hosts select their book recommendations for autumn, and a ghostly step back in time with Nostalgia NoodleContact us: hello@postcardsfrommidlife.comFollow us on Instragram: @postcardsfrommidlife Join our private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/681448662400206/ Hosted on Acast.

Raynor Winn is a writer whose first book, The Salt Path, followed the remarkable 630-mile journey she and her husband Moth made around the South West Coastal Path. It was a story of endurance as they had lost their home, had little money and Moth had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. But they found solace in nature and kept putting one foot in front of the other, living for the now: a message that obviously chimed with readers, as the book became a bestseller and is currently being made into a film. Raynor has since written a sequel called The Wild Silence, about readjusting to four walls and normal life after that seminal walk, and Landlines where she and Moth again embark on a thousand-mile journey from Scotland back to the familiar shores of the South West Coast Path. Raynor's musical choices include works by Britten, Schubert and Vaughan Williams.

Raynor Winn, bestselling author, one of my personal heroes, all-round amazingly nice person - is the guest on this deep dive episode of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast. I discovered Raynor Winn's books thanks to the Thoughtful Travellers Book Club, when one of our members, Joan, suggested we read "The Salt Path". I'm so glad she did, because it became a firm favourite amongst book club members, and we've subsequently read "The Wild Silence" and will soon discuss Raynor's third book, "Landlines", too.  In this chat, we discuss the mindset shifts from the hiking life, and what to do when you have to spend time back in "normal life"; we talk about making connections with other people on your travels; we cover the issue of homelessness, something important to both of us; we delve into how Raynor actually became a writer, and what her writing process is like now; and finally, we end with some fabulous lessons from travel.  It was such a thrill to record this chat, and I hope you all enjoy it even half as much as I did!

Episode 4 explores how the environment on and around the Coast Path inspires artists and creatives. We had the absolute privilege of chatting with renowned contemporary artist Kurt Jackson; celebrated musician Peter Knight; and artist, writer, and fundraiser Emma Scattergood. Each artist discusses their very personal relationship with the coastal landscape and how immersing themselves in its awe-inspiring beauty, provokes and inspires their artwork and music.  Kurt Jackson is a dedicated environmentalist and true polymath whose artistic practice ranges from his trademark visceral plein-air sessions to studio work and embraces an extensive range of materials and techniques including mixed media, large canvases, print-making and sculpture. Kurt and his wife Caroline live and work in the most-westerly town in Britain, St Just-in-Penwith where in 2015 they set up the Jackson Foundation. Jackson says that his ‘creativity, visual art and writing is often inspired, motivated and in response to the typography, biodiversity and changing seasonality of the coastal habitats'. Peter Knight is a violinist who was 'discovered' by Ashley Hutchings, founder of the folk band Steeleye Span. He was invited to join the Band when they were just on the cusp of fame and spent 45 years touring the world with them, making several Gold Albums and appearing in their own BBC series. He left in 2013 to focus on the Gigspanner Trio and the Gigspanner Big Band, and most recently joined with The Salt Path author, Raynor Winn, on Saltlines – a collaboration of prose and music celebrating the South West Coast Path.  Emma Scattergood is a writer, artist and educator, specialising in community-facing projects. After many years as a journalist/author and then a university lecturer, her latest project is walking and drawing the SW Coast Path and sharing elements of that process in Creative Path workshops, encouraging intuitive, creative engagement with nature. When not on the Path or in her studio, Emma also works part-time on a community project for a writing development agency and as a lead trustee for The Story Works (a children's charity she co-founded).

Raynor Winn's new memoir Landlines is a story that begins in fear but ends in hope. As the health of Moth, Raynor's husband, declines, the couple set out to walk the gruelling, remote and stunningly beautiful terrain of Scotland's Cape Wrath Trail, reflecting on community and the environment along the way. Raynor is the bestselling author of the astonishing, multi-award-winning The Salt Path (2019) which told the story of another remarkable journey, when nature first saved the couple. Just days after Raynor learnt that Moth, her husband of thirty-two years, was terminally ill, their home was taken away and they lost their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they made the impulsive, brave decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path.

We thoroughly loved reading and discussing this exciting travel narrative, The Salt Path. Raynor Winn has captured a beautiful and harrowing memoir about homelessness and surival. She redefines home as the relationships that mean the most, and the walking paths that keep you moving forward. It inspires one to get walking, particulary through southern England. If you need an extra boost of hope, and would like to be the cheering section for a couple with true grit, give The Salt Path a read, and then give this podcast a listen.  

Raynor Winn's best-selling book “The Salt Path” tells how she and her husband Moth became homeless just as he was diagnosed with a terminal neuro-degenerative disease. Despite this, they set off to walk the 630 challenging miles of the South West Coast Path which stretches from Minehead in Somerset along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall to Poole Harbour in Dorset. The redemptive story of their dogged determination, loving relationship and close connection with the natural world made the book a best seller. And now Raynor has teamed up with Peter Knight's Gigspanner Big Band (featuring Hannah Martin and Philip Henry of Edgelarks, John Spiers of Bellowhead, guitarist Roger Flack and percussionist Sacha Trochet) to create a new show called Saltlines - which combines traditional music from the South West Coast with new words about the area. In this episode, host Matthew Bannister gets the great privilege of attending rehearsals in a village hall near Exmouth, and then walking the Coast Path with Raynor. --- Access exclusive films of Raynor Winn and the Gigspanner Big Band along our walk, along with over 150 performances from dozens of artists, by signing up to Folk On Foot On Film: https://www.folkonfoot.com/watch We rely entirely on support from our listeners to make Folk on Foot.

It's Valentines Day this week and in celebration we have a love story on the podcast today. This isn't a traditional schmaltzy love story though, The Salt Path is a stunning love letter, the record of a long walk and features the sort of love story most of us will never be lucky enough to experience. Tara is joined by Pim Dahan to talk about love, homelessness, the power of nature and the importance of slowing down.When Raynor Winn and her husband became homeless and he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, they packed their rucksacks and began walking the South West Coast Path.

“Midlife is when those dreams we had when we were young but put aside to earn a living or raise a family can finally be revisited; it's never too late to be what you wanted to be”.  This is the philosophy of Noon, a community for women in midlife created by Eleanor Mills. Eleanor experienced her own reckoning with midlife after leaving her job with the Sunday Times, confronting an empty nest and dealing with Covid. She embarked on a journey to explore new ways of living and find her “next act”. If you're feeling lost or alone after decades of putting other people first, or are exhausted dealing with midlife stresses like divorce, bereavement, redundancy, difficult teens, elderly parents or health problems, then this is the episode for you.  Eleanor and Andrew discuss shifting your perspective on midlife and seeing it as a space without a map. Unlike your twenties, thirties and even forties, there are few expectations around family and career, meaning you can chart your own way and be what you've always wanted to be.  Eleanor Mills is a British journalist who has worked for titles including The Sunday Times and The Times. She was the editorial director of The Sunday Times and editor of its magazine until March 2020.

In this episode of Out of the Clouds, Anne Muhlethaler interviews Keris Masden (@fitterfood), a first of what may be several interviews with the highly qualified naturopathic nutritional therapist, personal trainer and lecturer at the College of Naturophathic Medicine.  Keris with her partner Matt Whitmore runs Fitter Food, a comprehensive platform offering good food, optimal health, tools to get fit and active, and leading long and happy lives.Anne invites Keris to share first the why behind her path  into personal training, and then into naturopathy. A very personal journey indeed, in large part motivated by a loved one's cancer diagnosis and a chance encounter with a naturopath at an event. Anne and Keris also share their personal experiences in and around burnout, which leads them to discuss the function of breath in gut health and the importance of finding ways to release the stress cycle in our modern  (and currently pandemic) environment. Keris then explains how she first got interested in the Paleo diet, how she thinks it can  be adapted and how it supports a healthier lifestyle.  Herself a keen cook (and a budding chocolatier), she stared creating deliciously nutritious recipes for her clients, which then turned into her first book, 'The Paleo Primer'.  She kindly credits her dog Hamish, a Bavarian mountain hound, as her best personal trainer and advisor, himself too a paelo convert. The two finish as always discussing mindfulness tips, the importance of community, favorite books (The Salt Path by Raynor Winn), the best advice Keris received from a friend (watch your gut!)  and what brings her happiness.  A really wonderful, personal and powerful conversation. Enjoy! ***Selected links from the episode: You can find Keris at Fitterfood.com Join the Fitter 365 programListen to the Fitter Food podcaston Facebookon Twitter on Instagramon YoutubeKeris also blogs regularly on Fitter Food about her own experiences with naturopathy, healthcare, etc.  Very much worth a read.The College of Naturopathic Medicine - (UK, US & Ireland)Functional MedicineThe Paleo Diet on WikipediaThe Paleo Primer book Mark Freeth Freestyle YogaBurnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski Russell Brand's interview of James Nestor about breathing and his book, BreathJames Nestor's book, BreathThe Rock Choir The Salt Path by Raynor Winn  ***If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, it helps people find us and  also helps to secure future guests.

In this episode of Blitz's Book Club Cheryl sits down with Henry and Kevin to talk about Raynor Winn's 'The Salt Path', a non-fiction book about the healing power of the natural world.

While it was a joy to speak with Raynor Winn when she first came on the podcast to discuss The Salt Path, her bestselling memoir, this episode has me even more excited.Why? Because this memoir covers the period after walking the path, and takes us all the way through Raynor's experience writing the Salt Path, getting it published, ans the often terrifying prospect of having to tell people she was a writer. What a gift to follow this story through the part most writers don't share, and to discuss her experience in depth. This book is a must-read for memoirists, and anyone who ever feels a bit wobbly answering the question, “what do you do?” with, “I write.”Visit this episode's blog post here: https://www.secretlibrarypodcast.com/episodes/raynor-winn-s4-ep5 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 6 - How Do I Overcome Self-Doubt As A Writer?THE WRITERS' ROOM - What's the biggest problem you are experiencing with writing this week?In the Writers Room this week, Pete and Laura chat about how to overcome the one problem all writers face, and that is self-doubt.‘Hi Laura and Pete, the question I have is, How do I overcome self-doubt as a writer? I'm always wondering about whether anyone will read my words, and what they would say. So much sometimes, it stops me from writing. What do you think and suggest?'Pete and Laura chat about self-doubt and how all authors struggle with it - even very successful authors too. They think about how you could quiet that negative voice in your head from stopping you writing. The journey of a writer is to acknowledge the voice for what it is - part of being a writer. To combat this, Laura talks about her new idea - The Win List. OUR CURRENT PROJECT UPDATES - What writing projects are we working & what's happened this week?Peter is still taking an hour a day to work on a first edit of his book about India and explains a bit more about the idea why he is calling it Rose-buds in Kerala. It reminds Laura about the quote by Paulo Coelho: “Past and future exist only in our memory." LESSONS WE'VE LEARNED THIS WEEK - What have we learned about writing & publishing this week?Pete is learning about the genre of non-fiction through the book Story Grid by Shawn Coyne. (See below)Laura has received her book on wedding planning back from the editors. Recommended Product of the Week - The Alliance of Independent AuthorsLaura talks about how valuable she finds being a member of The Alliance of Independent Authors.

BOOKS WE ARE READING AND RECOMMEND - What books are we reading this week?Peter is reading Story Grid by Shawn Coyne. The blog at Story Grid is full of incredible resources and Pete is digging deep in understanding structure. Laura is reading -The Salt Path by Raynor Winn“I once heard a lecture by Stephen Hawking, when he said, ‘It's the past that tells us who we are. Without it we lose our identity.' Maybe I was trying to lose my identity so I could invent a new one.”  Raynor Winn.WHAT'S HAPPENING AT DERBYSHIRE WRITING SCHOOL THIS WEEK? - How are we building the business this week?Laura is thinking through what the core values of Derbyshire Writing School are, and how she wants people to feel after they have been on one of the courses. All the courses at Derbyshire Writing School are creative and practical, and the vision is for all attendees to leave the courses feeling inspired and confident. PERSONAL UPDATES - What's going on in our lives?Peter and Laura reminisce about walking the Portugues Camino together with Sam, her brother, Pete's son.

Author Raynor Winn talks to Katherine May about the losing her home when her husband was diagnosed with a terminal illess, and finding new life from having nothingRaynor Winn has captured a multitude of hearts with her book, The Salt Path, which recounts the time she lost her home just as her husband received a terminal diagnosis. With nothing to lose, they set off to walk the South West Coast Path carrying nothing but a tent. Here Raynor reflects on that transformative time that redefined the meaning of home - and gives a welcome update on Moth's health. We also hear about her forthcoming book, The Wild Silence.

We stay close to home with period drama Belgravia by Julian Fellowes, and London-based fantasy Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. We escape to Provence with unreconstructed male-wish-fulfillment novel Hotel Pastis by Peter Mayle, and escape altogether with the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Cobb.

We walk in the footsteps of Raynor Winn on The Salt Path and finally consider the practicalities of sheep farming with The Shepherd's Life by James Rebanks.

Most people don't have to face all their worst fears in a single week. Raynor Winn and her husband were left homeless when an investment went bad. Within days, her husband Moth received a terrifying medical diagnosis that predicted a dramatic decline. What did they do? They decided to wild camp (that's camping without campgrounds or rules, for those outside the UK) and walk the over 600 miles of the coast path in England. In this episode, we not only discuss Raynor's incredible life experience, but she also tells to story of how she wrote and got the book published, which is almost as dramatic a tale as her memoir! If you worry that you need more qualifications, or think that your story won't make a difference, listening to Raynor Winn describe going from homeless to the bestselling author will brighten your day and your outlook as much as it did for me. This episode promises to be a fast favorite and I know you'll want to keep it around for inspiration long into the future. Happy listening! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
