The Woman Alive podcast

I first got into podcasts during the first lockdown back in March 2020. As part of my role at Premier, I was permitted to go into the office because the work we do is considered vital communication. But without a car or running public transport, I decided to walk instead. Previously, my 25-minute commute was accompanied by a changing song playlist of new and existing favourites, compiled to block out the annoyance of “leaves on the track” leading to delayed tubes, crowded carriages, tourists standing on the wrong side of the escalator and my fellow commuters. But the hour-and-a-half walk to my office (and hour-and-a-half walk back) was filled with an eerie kind of silence amid the unusually empty streets of London.
