A Mile in My Shoes: The Podcast.

Our podcast is where we share audio stories from our various projects, including A Mile in My Shoes and From Where I’m Standing. From a dairy farmer in Worcestershire to a sexual healer in Melbourne, these short episode open up a space to hear from someone you might never have come across in your daily life.

You’ll also find a scattering of audio collaborations we’ve done with others – we’re really proud to be a part of their stories and have a space to share them.

Please be aware that some stories are more appropriate for adult listeners. Captioned versions of the first 40 episodes are available on our YouTube.
