The GM Moving Podcast
The GM Moving Podcast exists to share reflections, tips and stories from the people leading, learning, connecting and moving in Greater Manchester.
Our movement for movement welcomes all organisations and individuals supporting our ambition of active lives for all and we’re delighted to have welcomed many of them onto the podcast since 2020.
You can listen to The GM Moving Podcast wherever you normally listen to podcasts, or through using the links below.
Series 1 – Covid-19, response and recovery
During the spring and summer of 2020, in response to the coronavirus pandemic, we launched The GM Moving Podcast. We held a number of conversations with partners across the Greater Manchester system to hear their thoughts on our progress towards a more active city region.
Series 2 – GM Moving in Action in a place
In August 2022 the GM Moving podcast returned for series 2 and explored place-based working to enable people to get moving.
We have an episode from each locality where they share how they’ve been working, what’s worked, what’s not, and what they’ve learnt so far.
Series 3 – Initiating the Right to the Streets movement
The GM Moving podcast returned for series 3 in summer 2023 with a brand new topic, exploring how people and communities can work together to make our streets and public spaces more welcoming and safe for women and girls.
We delved into people’s experiences and gathered ideas and solutions for improvement from partners so that everyone across Greater Manchester and beyond can be inspired to take the steps to create a whole system-approach to addressing violence against women and girls in their local area. The first episode launched on Thursday 11 May.
Series 4 – A journey of discovery through Right to the Streets
The GM Moving podcast returned for series 4 in late 2023 as we embarked on a joyful journey of discovery looking at how the Right to the Streets movement has grown and developed, the difference it’s making, and all that we have learned along the way.
Hear from lots of people and partners as they shift the dial from fear to freedom as we trailblaze a different approach to ending street harassment and gender-based violence in public spaces. The first episode launched on 25 November 2023.
