My podcast<\/a> is back, at long last! And here\u2019s the spiel about my chat with the ever-interesting Craig Mod\u2026<\/p>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In this rich, wide-ranging conversation, Alastair Humphreys chats with Craig Mod about the overlapping worlds of adventure, creativity, and publishing. The two explore their different but kindred approaches to long walks \u2014 Craig\u2019s meticulous, high-tech planning versus Alastair\u2019s spontaneous, minimalist style \u2014 and how these journeys feed into their creative work. Craig shares the thinking behind his wildly successful newsletters, membership programme, and beautiful, obsessively designed books. They also dive into broader themes like cultural responsibility, self-discipline, nature connection, and why sometimes walking is just the best way to think deeply.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83e\udded Topics and Themes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Craig\u2019s long-distance walks across Japan (Tokaido, Nakasendo, Kumano Kodo)<\/li>\n<li>Comparison of walking vs. cycling as immersive travel tools<\/li>\n<li>Digital minimalism and \u201cno teleporting\u201d rules during walks<\/li>\n<li>High-tech vs low-tech navigation: Apple Watch Ultra vs. paper maps<\/li>\n<li>The joy and discipline of documentation: notes, photography, audio, video<\/li>\n<li>Daily synthesis as a creative practice while walking<\/li>\n<li>Books as tangible artefacts of ephemeral experience<\/li>\n<li>Craig\u2019s reasons for walking: presence, routine, deadlines, synthesis<\/li>\n<li>Planning vs. spontaneity in adventures<\/li>\n<li>The special role of beautiful book design<\/li>\n<li>Making creativity sustainable: Craig\u2019s membership model (Special Projects)<\/li>\n<li>Emotional and logistical tension between audience growth and creative purity<\/li>\n<li>Walk & Talk retreats with Kevin Kelly: structure, goals, dinner conversations<\/li>\n<li>Litter and cultural responsibility in Japan vs. the West<\/li>\n<li>The role of access in building care for the natural world<\/li>\n<li>The value of constraints, caps, and intimacy in building an audience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\ud83d\udcda Books Mentioned<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Things Become Other Things<\/em> by Craig Mod (Random House edition)<\/li>\n<li><em>Kissa by Kissa<\/em> by Craig Mod<\/li>\n<li><em>Rings of Saturn<\/em> by W.G.
