Salt and Flickers

Salt and Flickers

Salt and Flickers is a podcast about the intersection of movement, creativity, and mindset. Hosted by Silver Lake Track Club founder Howie Goldklang, each episode uncovers how running and movement fuel inspiration, shape our mental landscapes, and connect us to something greater than ourselves. Featuring deep conversations with athletes, artists, and thought leaders, the show explores the emotional and creative power of endurance -- on the road, the stage, and beyond. More than just a running podcast, Salt and Flickers is about the rhythm of life, the courage to start, and the stories that push us forward.
