Walking & Talking is my monthly show on www.listen.camp where I ask a musician to take me on a walk to somewhere special to them and then edit the ensuing exploration into an hour long piece of longform radio.

I’m currently undertaking a special project Wanderlust which is embedded within Walking & Talking and supported by Arts Council England. This is to develop the idea and my skills through making six episodes of the show. Below you can find an archive of the Wanderlust shows:
