Welcome to episode one of season 4 of 'The World is Storytelling'. This time from the county tops of the island of Ireland.

Today we are hiking up Mullaghmeen (258m) in County Westmeath, with the wise Torben, who loves fixing and riding bikes, growing and eating vegetables, and is currently on a very long cycle somewhere in the world.

To help the podcast hike up more hills, please be in touch with ideas of who I should be inviting on the podcast, and support me with some waterproof gear. All that and more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Thank you to all the supporters as well as to the amazing band Bukahara for their permission to use their fabulous, on point song '⁠⁠Storytelling Animal⁠⁠' as our soundtrack.

The World is Storytelling podcast is based on the book by the same name. Written by Arjen Barel, Ronni Gurwicz, and Stu Packer, it is the definitive guide to how sharing stories can be used for social impact and personal growth.
