This week on the podcast we are joined by Bill Hillmann. Bill is an author, journalist, and bull-runner. He has been running with the bulls in Spain for 16 years and has survived three gorings. His writing has appeared in numerous publications, and he is the author of multiple books, including his most recent book “The Pueblos: My Quest to Run 101 Bull Runs in the Small Towns of Spain”.
In this episode of the podcast, we talk about what first drew Bill to Pamplona to run with the bulls, what made him fall in love with the culture, what made him continue to come back year after year, and why he set the goal to run more than 100 bull runs. Bill tells us some incredible stories about his years running with the bulls across Spain!
