Footprints in the sand are fleeting - a transient snapshot in time that disappear when the tide comes in. Even the footprints that are further in eventually become invisible alongside a million others. But for that moment in time, they're physical. They're proof that you did something.

For some, the endless drone of awaiting jet lag. For others, the sound to fall asleep to and wake up to.

A hot day. A light breeze turns into a cooler wind. The leaves rustle, the lake ripples, the wind placates the heat.

People are full of best advice. When we need a little push in a certain direction, or guidance on why we should do one thing but not another, we rarely have a shortage of voices offering their wisdom. This can be both a good and bad thing. My equipment: Electro-Voice RE320 Motu M2 Audio Interface Sony MDR-7506 Studio Monitor Headphones Podcast Pro Boom Arm by Accu-Lite and O.C.

Podcaster Stories will be taking a hiatus for the foreseeable future. After 50 plus episodes, with some very personal stories being shared, I've come to the point where I need to take a break for my own mental wellness.

Listen to the soothing hum of a rainy downpour, as cars drive through the rain to get their inhabitants to their destination. Soothing and relaxing.

If you were to die tomorrow, how would you be remembered? Would people think of you fondly, or only envisage the bad memories?

We see so many things that are beautiful, but we taint them with our own twisted version of what's beautiful. It's time to open our eyes to that.

The centre of London. The hustle and bustle of this vast metropolis. But you only hear the filtered sounds of a rooftop listening moment.

Revisit the sounds of escaping from the city on a hot summer's day, with a gentle breeze flowing through the air as you trail through the forest, only nature as your companion.

The sounds of the European street. Voices as they enjoy the day. The welcoming sound of life after the rain.

Is there anything as soothing or as uplifting as the sound of birds in the field? One of nature's most welcoming and calming sounds.

Ah, the sounds of Paris, music, love, happiness. Listen to this French Horn and let your mind take you to this city of love.

Escape to the wild tundra, with this relaxing howling wind that evokes memories of childhood storms, with you safe inside your home.

It's hard to fail. It hurts. But it would hurt even more if w weren't where we are now because we did fail.

As children, we have unbridled aspirations. We dream to be astronauts. We dream to be princesses. We dream to be the world's greatest sports star. We dream . But if we don't meet fulfil those dreams, we never feel like we've failed. So why don't we carry that wisdom into our adult lives?

Sometimes, when reading the news, it feels like the world is on a downward spiral. Ignorance, hate, bigotry, and pointless tragic deaths. But then we hear of stories like the San Francisco Batkid. Or the funeral procession of strangers for a fallen war hero. Or the work of The Passage in the UK, and their approach to homelessness. And it makes you remember that the world might just be okay. My equ...

I've never been much of a religious man, yet I celebrate certain religious holidays. And I've had others celebrate holidays that, technically, could go against their beliefs. Religion is often blamed as the cause for the world's woes and, often, it can be. Yet for all the wrongs religion can foster, it can also enable the greatest celebration of all - the religion of humanity. My equipment: Electr...

I had kids late in life. Because I'm an older dad - and, I guess, an older husband - I find myself thinking more about the future than I possibly should. How I'll technically be a pensioner when my kids are at university. How I may die, and leave them as young adults. But I can't be sad - because to be sad is to believe that all the alive moments will stop if we no longer share them. My equipment:...

Life moves pretty fast and, in this always-on-the-go world that we find ourselves in, it's becoming ever-harder to pause and reflect on what we see. Yet, if we don't, we miss the opportunity to experience the things that could truly change our lives. The Little Pod of Inspiration aims to be that opportunity to stop and savour not only the events around us, but the people, the experiences, the sigh...
