There Are Other Ways: Conversations About Living Life a Little Differently

There Are Other Ways is a weekly podcast for people brave enough to explore a less well-trodden path in life. Hosted by Fiona Barrows, each episode features an interview with someone who is living life a little differently, and offers support, insight and inspiration for listeners keen to do the same.
Whether it's travelling the world, setting up your own creative business, or simply refusing to judge yourself by someone else's definition of success, doing things differently can be scary, lonely and confusing. But hearing other people's stories of how they have done it, and lived to tell the tale, can help. That's what this podcast is for.
