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 1
The writer Sally Bayley had a chaotic, deprived childhood in a household of 12 children and 3 adults. But since placing herself in care at the age of 14, she's gone on to teach English Literature at Oxford and to find a new way of writing fiction. Her books Girl with Dove and No Boys Play Here conjure imaginary and literary landscapes for Sally, Jane Eyre, David Copperfield and Falstaff to walk through together.
In this episode, Sally revisits her early life with artist and writer Charlie Lee-Potter. As they walk along the riverbank in Oxford and around the seaside town she escaped from as a teenager, Sally explains how literature and a powerful imagination shaped her. The programme is layered with sound, memory and reflections on the landscapes of our past.
Produced, edited, written and presented by Charlie Lee-Potter
