She Just Smiles Podcast: This is a podcast based on my essay ‘She Just Smiles’, exploring a moment many people recognise but rarely put into words. It centres on noticing older people pausing in public spaces to watch children at play, observing with a calm, knowing smile that does not intervene or ask anything of the moment. The podcast reflects on what sits behind that smile, how time changes the way some people look at the world, and how this way of seeing extends beyond childhood into a broader relationship with life itself.
