    The Long Green Line Podcast

    About

    In The Long Green Line Podcast, Director Matty Arnold follows up the subjects from the 2008 documentary, The Long Green Line. The podcast features interviews of former athletes inspired by the legendary Coach Joe Newton of York High School in Elmhurst Illinois, where winning 28 Illinois state cross-country titles in his 66 years of coaching was secondary to his greater purpose.

    Coach Joe Newton spent six decades living his purpose, teaching boys to how to become heart-centered men, using cross-country running as his platform to help change the world, by cultivating “truth, honor, loyalty and character” in his runners. 

    Newton led runners across a spectrum of abilities, “everyone has something to contribute," reinforcing that, “it’s nice to be great, but far greater to be nice.”

    Enjoy rich discussions on conscious masculinity and cross country as a metaphor for life.

    Brotherhood shines through in this episode of The Long Green Line Podcast as Matty chats with long time friend and creative collaborator, Brady Hallongren, recounting their adventures and lessons in the making of The Long Green Line Documentary as an analog world was quickly transforming with new technology.


    Matty and Brady were deeply moved by the experience of making this documentary with Coach Joe Newton, Coach Kern, and the dedicated cross country runners of York High School, and this episode has the feeling of a homecoming.


    We hope you enjoy this episode and feel uplifted and inspired to pursue your own “Long Green Line,” whatever it may be.
