The Salt Path Scandal | GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS

Hippocrates said that a walk is "man's best medicine". When her husband of 30+ years is diagnosed with a rare degenerative condition, Raynor Winn took that sentiment literally, and the couple embarked on the 630-mile tread across the southwest coast of the United Kingdom. The book was initially met with fervor, love, and admiration, but as more details about the author's pockmarked past came to light, the narrative began to shift. Can a long walk really cure any ailment? What role does the truth play in publishing and in memoir? Who is Raynor Winn, and what exactly is she walking away from? 🧁 GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS 🧁 We'll see you next time :) WANT TO BUY US A COFFEE? ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/hiddenrabbits TOPIC SUGGESTION BOX 💡 https://bit.ly/topicsuggestionbox FOLLOW US AROUND 💜 instagram:   / hiddenrabbitsmedia   📺 connor's channel:    / @connorangus   📙 lindsey's substack: https://lonelypony.substack.com/ 🎙️ listen on pocket casts: https://tinyurl.com/hiddenrabbits AFFILIATES 🌲 THE HUMANE SPACE: https://thehumanespace.onelink.me/gBP... 📚 BOOKSHOP: https://bookshop.org/shop/hiddenrabbits ⏹️ SKIN GRIP: https://skingrip.com?aff=484 (code PONY77) SHOW NOTES → How Britain Became as Poor as Mississippi, The Atlantic / https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/... → Investigating a Scandal in the Publishing World: Q & A with Chloe Hadjimatheou, Global Investigative Journalism Network / https://gijn.org/stories/scandal-publ... → She Fooled 2 Million Readers (Then It Got Worse), Scandal /    • She Fooled 2 Million Readers (Then It Got ...   → Uncovering The Salt Path, The Observer /    • Uncovering The Salt Path  | The Observer   → The real Salt Path: how a blockbuster book and film were spun from lies, deceit and desperation, The Observer / https://observer.co.uk/news/national/...
