Podcast | Inside a Mountain
Inside A Mountain takes its name from nature writer Nan Shepherd's haunting phrase that 'a mountain has an inside'. In other words, walking isn't to accumulate miles or conquer peaks, but to experience the transformative power of moving through real and imaginary space. Using soundscape and music, Charlie Lee-Potter takes contemplative walks with musicians, artists, writers and scientists.

A punk girl at a gas station tells Harold that if you believe cancer can be stopped, Harold impulsively sets out to save Queenie, leading to a pilgrimage on which he becomes a temporary media star and people join him.
