Walking in other shoes can help us to recover the empathy we are losing at these times.
I really look forward to each new episode such a good listen and it respects your time by being short and well edited. Thanks
This is my favourite podcast for stretching my legs and getting a good walk around the block when I've been cramped inside with my own thoughts for too long. It feels like walking alongside someone else – though you have no idea who it will be each week – and it's so often warm and hopeful and thoughtful and leaves me seeing the same old neighbourhood a little differently each time.
Excellent podcast
So great this live project finally gets an online presence. Can't wait to listen in each week. Well done!
