This week on N332, Riley explores how speed affects more than just distance — it affects time, judgement, and decision-making.

Linked to the European campaign by ROADPOL, this episode looks at reaction time, why many serious collisions involve vehicles leaving the road, and how modern cars can create a false sense of control.

A short, reflective look at why speed is not just about limits, but about awareness.

This weekend, Riley visits the N332 stand at Expo Torrevieja and explores a new type of helmet designed for e-scooters and bicycles, featuring integrated lights and built-in speakers.

In this episode, she explains how the technology works, why awareness remains the most important safety factor, and the legal reality in Spain where headphones, earbuds, and handheld phone use are prohibited while riding.

A practical, real-world look at how innovation can support safer behaviour — without replacing responsibility.

This week on N332, Riley looks at how Easter changes the rhythm of the road.

From planning ahead with DGT and AEMET updates, to managing the pressure of heavy holiday traffic, and understanding the behaviour of tourist drivers, this episode explores how increased volume affects not just congestion, but decision-making behind the wheel.

A short, reflective look at why patience, preparation, and awareness matter more than ever during busy travel periods.

Spring is one of my favourite times of the year. The colours, the light, the feeling that everything is starting again… it is all very calm and very beautiful.

But, as many of us know, it is not always quite that simple.

In this episode, I introduce Blossoms and… Achoo, a playful song inspired by the gentle humour of Alma Cogan. It is a little walk through springtime, joined by a curious black cat, and occasionally interrupted by something we all recognise… that sudden, unstoppable sneeze.

It is light, it is fun, and it is a small reminder that even the nicest moments can come with a little bit of chaos.

I also touch briefly on something more important. Those same small distractions, like sneezing or watery eyes, can affect us more than we realise, especially when we are driving.

But mostly, this is just a moment to smile, enjoy the music, and welcome the season.

And yes… there are three versions. I still cannot choose a favourite.

You can be surrounded by people…
and still feel completely on your own.

This song is about that feeling.

Not fixing it.
Not hiding it.
Just understanding it.

Here, I explain the thinking behind the song, and give you a little preview.

“Lonely, Not Alone” is out now.

This week, I recorded the vocals for a new version of the ‪Trafford and Friends‬ theme tune, which will be used to accompany the new series of bedtime or relax time educational stories by Mark Nolan, called Tales from Silvamere.

In this short podcast, I explain a little bit more about it. Sweet dreams.

Happy St Patrick's Day, when we can all be Irish for the day.

But remember, if you drink, don't drive, if you drive, don't drink.

Be responsible, be safe, and have an amazing day.

This is a short spoken piece from Riley Via, recorded ahead of the release of her debut single Still Here.

In this episode, Riley talks quietly about the song, what it means to her, and why her music is designed to meet people at different moments, without instruction or expectation. It is not an explanation, and it is not a message. It is simply a moment of presence.

This podcast sits alongside Riley’s music as part of the same world. Calm, reflective, and intentionally unobtrusive, it is made for listening without pressure, whether you are paying close attention or just letting it sit with you.

Still Here is released on 16 January and will be available on all major streaming platforms.

In this first episode of Riley’s Road, Riley explores one of the most confronting realities in road safety: the impact of alcohol on judgement, awareness, and the decisions that change lives forever. Drawing on insight from the N332 Road Safety Project, she examines drink driving from three powerful angles — the driver, the police officers who face the aftermath, and the families whose futures are torn apart in moments.

This episode unpacks how confidence can mask impairment, why officers carry these scenes with them for years, and what families endure long after the headlines fade. With calm, clear guidance, Riley explains why the only safe limit is zero and why the choices we make during celebrations matter long after the night ends.

A reflective, essential message for the festive season — and a reminder that one decision behind the wheel can define a lifetime.
