Welcome to The Peripatetics, a podcast that explores the art of seeking stillness for restless wanderers. This season, writer, director, and avid morning walker Trey Hill draws inspiration from Henry David Thoreau's timeless essay, Walking. In this inaugural episode, The Holy Landers, we delve into the profound connections shared between the modern walker, the religious pilgrim, and our ancient philosophical ancestors. Transcripts of all episodes are available here. About The Show Inspired by the ancient tradition of walking philosophers — from Aristotle and his followers to Nietzsche and Thoreau — who walked as a way to engage deeply with their thoughts and ideas, The Peripatetics wanders through the thoughts of great thinkers in nature, art, literature, and philosophy as they intersect with the simple, transformative act of walking. In season 1, we are discussing Henry David Thoreau's definitive essay on the subject of walking, connecting it with wisdom from a wide swath of philosophic tradtions which share his devotion to achieving clarity and peace through movement. Whether you're a fellow walker, someone looking for a bit of tranquility, or just curious about how a good walk can change your perspective, you're in the right place. May your path be smooth and your pace steady.
