Sad Hill: Distant Echoes

Send us Fan Mail What can a cemetery built for a Sergio Leone western in northern Spain have in common with a military memorial park thousands of miles away in Bengaluru? After almost two months away from the podcast, I return to Sad Hill Cemetery for the 60th anniversary of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, where I have spent four days doing something new — performing my own writing in the landscape that inspired it. A couple of weeks later, a work trip takes me to Bengaluru, India, where another walk and another recording begin to echo what happened in Spain. Two places, two recordings, thousands of miles apart. Stories of film, conflict, memory, performance — and what we notice when we simply keep walking. Buen Camino and keep listening.
