The WALKING podcast

The acclaimed WALKING Podcast returns with its acclaimed "Special Election Night Coverage Counterprogramming Special."

A fine hike for tumultuous times: along the shore and through the woods, featuri…

Here, in the darkest, dourest, deadliest, bleakest doldrums of Winter 2020, I don't feel like making any more podcasts, because what's the point, but I thought I'd slip last year's holiday extravagan…

Walking on the beach, in a contemplative mood, I gaze out on what used to be an undersea minefield and discover an atrocious-looking jelly fish, oozed haphazardly over the rocks at my feet.

This week…

I accidentally walked into a creek.

This week's walk is sponsored by Chris Funk's new solo record, "Songs for Dog Fitness." Pandemic music for walking your dog, or for not walking your dog. 

(You may…

I see many funguses. I encounter a massive buck hopping improbably high out of the ferns. Isaac tells me about someone he just met while walking, and I tell him about my imaginary friends. I walk hom…

Four hours, 10.4 miles. I had to stop at a bakery in the middle. 

This election night special coverage special is, as always, just a recording of me walking. I hope you'll come along as a way to rela…

I put the word out on social media that if people made a donation to a cause they believed in, and sent me the receipt, they would be entitled to one (1) classified ad--a message about absolutely any…

Missing one cohost (medically excused from action; foot injury) the two of us soldier on, and decide to visit the neighbors' goats. Will they bleat? Will we get some bleating on tape? They do not ble…

This is the second episode of the third season of The WALKING Podcast, a special pandemic mini-season where I am walking with my daughters and giving them the revenue from your classified ads, becaus…

Welcome to the first episode of this special pandemic mini-season of The WALKING Podcast. And this time, it’s a family affair!

I’ve hired my two daughters as co-hosts because I can’t figure out what …

There is a season--turn, turn, turn. A time to listen to someone else take a walk, a time to take a walk yourself.

We are now in the latter. As I took this walk out to the harbor the other morning,…

I'm sorry but you can't come along on this walk. This one's just for me.

My new book is out today. It's called THIS IS CHANCE! You can buy it here on Amazon or support your local shop if that is saf…

Nothing much to say here. This--as always--is a recording of me walking in the woods. Maybe it's helpful to you. Maybe you'd like to take a walk but can't. I feel lucky that I can, so I feel obligate…

I never knew what this podcast was for; I was always surprised that people listen to it. Maybe it has a purpose now? Maybe it has something small of value to offer? Wouldn't that be strange?

This wee…

Not a very relaxing moment here in Washington State. And yet, thankfully, the trails feel (and sound) exactly the same.

This week's walk is sponsored by Ann Friedman, journalist, newsletter-er, and c…

Off we go: into the woods, toward the harbor, up the hill, through the old cemetery, and onto my newish pal Berg's house--or, his "almost-house," as he's not quite done building it. Berg needed to  s…

Not much to say about this walk: just putting one foot in front of the other. Particularly after the accursed misadventures of last week, this walk was a welcome, uncomplicated delight. It's a walk t…

THIS IS NOT A VERY GOOD EPISODE OF THE WALKING PODCAST. 

A few weeks ago, for reasons I explain in this episode’s ad break, I decided to try something new: instead of a traditional sponsor for each e…

I was thinking about Growing Pains on this walk--the old TV show. I was thinking about how the dad, Jason Seaver (Alan Thicke), worked at home; he was a psychologist with a private practice in an off…
