The Good Ways Podcast

Welcome to the very first episode of the Good Ways Podcast - a podcast about finding and sharing good ways to get out, be active and explore the world around us.

In this episode, Good Ways founder Dan Raven-Ellison meets Leila Manion, who works for Disability Together is doing inspiring work to champion the voices of disabled people in Devon. We also meet Jo Earlham, just as she prepares to set off on the next 110-mile stage of an epic journey walking the length and breadth of mainland Britain.

Together, we explore what helps people feel confident about getting out and going further, the barriers that can stand in the way, and why good information about routes can make such a difference.

From everyday journeys to big adventures, it’s a conversation about access, confidence, shared knowledge and helping more people discover good ways to go.
