Walk the Pod: 10 minute walking

Unextended episode recorded whilst walking around Cannon Hill Common in southwest London. Woo, whimsy, and the fluffiest fledgling in the world. Thank you for listening.

Exploring more of Kensington Gardens this lunchtime with an excursion to the Round Pond. A whimsical round up, a voicenote from Cross Border Selector Postie Nige, and two brand new ducklings.

Taking whimsy along another profound and deep trail this lunchtime. Whimsy is the lightness, the froth, and the optimism needed to enjoy life, no matter how difficult our circumstances.

Walking my loval streets first thing this Tuesday and realising that whimsy, being built into the way our minds work via our dreams, is important.

Walking in the woods this lunchtime with a voicenote from Kiwi Rob as he tramps through the bush in New Zealand. Some thoughts on Radio 4 style comedy from the 70’s and 80’s and the whimsical stylings of stand up comedy.

Walking in the woods at lunchtime on another super hot day. As the week draws to a close, we sum up everything we’ve learned about whinsy so far.

Walking through the woods early on Thursday morning to keep out of the midday heat. Whimsy is the antithesis of cool—the desire to be seen as adult, serious, independent—yet whimsy can help us. Whether we are suffering heartbreak, loss, or trauma, whimsy says ‘I see you. You suffer. I suffer too.’

Walking from the road and a grassy patch of bunding populated by crickets, through the woods and into the Paddocks Allotments in Southwest London this lunchtime. Except that lunchtime is before 9 am today because it is expected to be 35° in the capital later.

This series, we’re discussing whimsy, and I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic. So please go to walkthepod.com, press the button marked ‘leave a voice note for Walk the Pod’ and leave me 90 seconds of your beautiful voice.

Walking along the banks of the Serpentine in Hyde Park this morning. This series, Walk the Pod is discussing whimsy. And today, the concept of whimsical Top Trumps. If we were to make a Top Trump of a gnome, it might have the highest whimsy rating, but the top rating for expensiveness would certainly go to the British Royal family. All this week, we are taking photographs of yellow things on our walk and posting them to the Walk the Pod Discord server. Join here for free to play: https://discord.gg/wHNDhdUXxS

Delighted to be launching a new series with a new theme today. Welcome to WHIMSY! The Colour Quest wheel turns YELLOW this week so upload a yellow photograph here, walk, and listen along: https://discord.gg/wHNDhdUXxS
