    Uphill Series 1 Trailer

    Hello campers and welcome to Uphill, your rest stop in the uphill struggle that is life. A moment to wander, ponder and reflect on the news, the meaning of it all and how to go forth and forge a career from the ashes. First of all, a big thank you to my listeners - my mum, my socially distant friends and occasionally, if I guilt trip him enough, my husband. In this series we’ll be embarking on a voyage of mindful discovery with interviews from around the world. From Edinburgh to Idaho, from Clare Island to Palo Alto, we’ll be asking whether the planet will still be a thing? Who needs a job anyway? And why can’t I self isolate from my children? So put an extra log on the fire, loosen your boots and give yourself the permission to flip off the new normal.
