Episode 115: Geoff Nicholson - The Right To Roam

Geoff Nicholson is a British novelist and non-fiction writer known for subject matter concerning the relationship between people and things, which necessarily encompasses, consumerism, materialism, collecting, notions of value and fetishism. Two of his books, Walking on Thin Air (2023) and The Lost Art of Walking (2009) involve one of Nicholson's favorite pastimes: walking. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Geoff discusses what walking means to him, the Right to Roam laws enacted in the UK, walking as a feature in literature, and how walking is a profoundly universal aspect of what makes us human, social creatures, and engaged with the world.
