Talking Walking interview
The last time I was in the UK, I had the good fortune to be interviewed for the podcast “Talking Walking”, by the very personable Andrew Stuck, Founding Director of the Museum of Walking, and design consultant at Rethinking Cities. One of his main concerns is the walkability of urban environments, but his podcast show features people from a spectrum of disciplines talking about all aspects of walking. As we meandered through the streets of busy Bermondsey, I talked mostly about “Walking to Japan”. In retrospect I wish I’d mentioned my early-mid 2000s project of walking all the streets of Vancouver, Canada, but being in London at the time, I enthused about one of my favourite walks there. Do check out the interview and the large catalogue of podcasts!
