I'm Rachel Wheeley, a human in the world. In this episode I walk around a park behind St George's University hospital in SW17, Tooting, South West London in the UK. I reflect on how lovely it is to be back at work, talking to real, live, 3D humans now that everyone's back in the office. Memories of my recent holiday with the kids in the New Forest, climbing giant trees, playing with wild horses and making s'mores in the fire pit, and how much I love my new flat. Ramblechatting about how difficult it is to have fun, and how I'm not the fun friend, so much as the one who will make you a cup of tea when you've been enjoying yourself too much. Shout out to my Dad who is recording me a philosophy podcast via WhatsApp, and how my favourite philosophers are long dead (Marcus Aurelius) and very much alive (Heather Havrilesky) and how my reading is very different from my Dad's. I've been thinking a lot lately about the things I admire the most about everyone I know, whilst trying not to take on other peoples' goals. Walk the Pod Walk the Pod is a daily podcast show where I take my podcast for walks because I don't have a dog. Take 10 minutes out of your day to walk in nature, and to pay attention to what's directly in front of you.

Simon and Rachel are bickering again, this time about 3D printing. Is it old news, or are recent developments in generative design enough to make it fascinating?

A mentor can help you make the most of career opportunities and aid your personal development. Today programme studio director Rachel Wheeley was able to see a clearer path to working in another area of radio with help from Caroline Raphael, then a commissioner at Radio 4. In this podcast they emphasise that it's the mentee who needs to put in the hard work. “It's not an easy option. You do have to work quite hard. It's not all tea and sympathy,” says Caroline. Mentoring is not a quick fix. It's a chance to stand back and reassess your career, in search of the best direction to take. Caroline, who runs independent radio production company Dora Productions and is editorial director of Penguin Random House Audio, describes it as “letting you see a bird's-eye view - how the organisation fits together… that's quite difficult to do unless you have some support”. Media and leadership trainer Natasha Maw, a partner at Quattrain and founding member of Sound Women, explains how to find a mentor to advise on everything from how to reach your goals to building confidence in your abilities. Rachel is also a producer at BBC Radio Comedy and is to launch the science comedy podcast Level Up Human very soon.
