Wild Words

Richard Smith

An exploration of storytelling in its simplest form. Like field notes stuffed into the lid of your rucksack or sitting around the fire after a long day outdoors. Each episode is a story shared from time spent in beautiful, wild places. No interviews, no conversation. Just stories, written and read. 


Stories of connection, adventure, reflection and experience. Shaped by travel, nature and time spent outside. Each episode features a different voice and different journey. Inviting listeners into moments to be quietly remembered.
