WALK WILD FILMS & PODCASTS

"To Hear The Trees Speak" is a short cinematic memoir from filmmaker Ian Finch ( Founder, Walk Wild ) and writer Olivia Sprinkel, based on her journey across the world to uncover the wisdom held within 10 trees. From the echoes of childhood forests to ancient landscapes stretching from India to Ecuador, this short poetic documentary explores her relationship with nature, memory, healing, and belonging. "To Hear The Trees Speak" invites viewers to consider the importance of the invisible bond between people and nature. This is more than a film about trees, it’s a journey into connection, spirituality, travel and ecology.

Ian Finch features on the Wild Words Podcast - July 2026

This episode follows a journey Ian made in early July 2026, crossing Scotland on foot from Morvich to Inverness. The route passes through one of the last remnants of the ancient Caledonian pine forest, a landscape that is slowly and carefully being restored, one day at a time.

What makes this podcast a little different is its old school approach to storytelling. Just one microphone, a story, and some of the sounds of the journey woven throughout. No distractions, no high studio polish, just a raw, heartfelt memoir carried by footsteps, weather and wild places.

Annabel Streets - Walk and Talk Interview - About Her Book “The Walking Cure” nature, and How Walking Changes Us

In this walking conversation, I walk with author Annabel Streets to explore the science behind why walking makes us feel so good, from forests and mountains to the sea, from walking alone to walking with others, in cities and even cemeteries. We talk about the psychology and physiology of walking, the restorative power of wild places, the connection between landscape and wellbeing, and what happens inside us when we spend time outdoors.
