The podcast explores the benefits of walking, including its impact on health, urban planning for walkable cities, the empowerment of community walks, and the journey of a 'planet walker'. Guests share insights on the importance of movement breaks, resilience post-stroke, and the deep connection formed through silent walking.

Today's guest Jeff Speck is a familiar name around here!
