Artist, broadcaster and writer Charlie Lee-Potter takes contemplative walks with a musician, artist, writer or scientist. The name comes from writer Nan Shepherd’s haunting phrase that ’a mountain has an inside’ - walking isn’t to accumulate miles or conquer peaks but to immerse yourself in landscape. Every episode evokes place with a complex, mixed soundscape.

EPISODE 6
Tom Chivers' book London Clay: Journeys in the Deep City is erudite and meticulously researched, but it's also funny, poetic and at times very moving. Tom digs down below the surface of the city to find its ancient, lost rivers, whilst also examining his own past. The book is part geological, part historical, and part reflective.
In this episode, Tom and Charlie explore an ancient, subterranean Roman temple, go mudlarking, and find treasure.
