A Sack full of Sins - Australian Radio National program on the Camino

Hello everyone,
You may be interested in a program that was played as an episode of "The Spirit of Things", on ABC (Australian) Radio National on Sunday evening called "A sack full of sins". The program is an interview with Ailsa Piper an Australian writer, director and actor about her experience walking the Camino and her book, Sinning Across Spain, a Walker's Journey from Granada to Galicia, which prompted a dialogue between Ailsa in Melbourne and Father Tony Doherty in Sydney. You can find the program on the ABC website (hopefully the link will work and I've done this right!):

It's a lovely interview.

My apologies, I realise this should probably be in the resources section, but there didn't seem to be a suitable category to put it under there.
Helen.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Helen, thank you very much for sharing this. I missed it yesterday - normally I listen to The Spirit of Things, but must have been doing something else yesterday.

Regards,
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Hola Helen - great that you have spread the news about Ailsa Piper and her colleague Fr Tony Doherty. Back in September 2013 the library staff at Thirroul (who are Camino fans - having walked the Frances Camino) organised an evening with Ailsa and Tony - about 30 fans of the book and the Camino attended and were greatly entertained.
Ailsa sold and autographed copies of her book. A review of the evening was published in the AFOTC newsletter. If other Oz Camino Nuts want to experience a similar evening I recommend contacting Ailsa's publishers or join her discussion/comments page. Cheers to all!!
