Inside A Mountain: walking real and imaginary landscape with Charlie Lee-Potter

Charlie Lee-Potter

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.

Samantha Ellis, an Iraqi Jew and second-generation refugee, has never been to the country she longs to see. Her new memoir, Chopping Onions on My Heart, is a personal story of her family's flight from Iraq as well as a reckoning with the loss of their language of Judeo Iraqi Arabic. It's a deeply intelligent book which wrestles with the idea of home and how we preserve culture. Samantha and I took a walk in a place of her choosing - the place where she's tried to create a sense of belonging for her

As Penny finishes her residency, Charlie begins her own at Wytham. On a sunny autumn day, they walked the woods together with spade and hammer, as Penny hid her year's work around tree trunks, in moss and in earth. Music for 'Calcite

Multimedia artist Fungai Marima printing her work Burn Out on an etching pressFungai Marima is a prize-winning multimedia artist who specialises in printmaking and live performance. She uses her body in her work, imprinting it on glass or onto metal etching plates to express her sense of solidarity with those who've endured abuse and cruelty.

Artist Jake Tilson doesn't care if his projects take decades to complete - in fact, he likes it when they do. He's just finished recreating his vision of Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, an art project which took him years and involved walking around the market for thousands of miles. His recent solo show, which included miniature recreations of some of Tsukiji's 1,700 fish stalls, was a triumph of imagination, technical skill and eccentricity. The work is also a ghostly tribute to a market which no

This episode takes a walk, but a very short one. That's because my companion is Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, professor of English at Magdalen College, Oxford, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2017. The disease has wrecked his capacity to walk more than a few hundred metres - and wonky, clumsy metres at that. But Robert has substituted physical walks with imaginative ones, scanning his mind for ways of reading himself through literature. His powerful, funny and frank memoir Metamorphosis: A
