Ready for an inspiring journey? Here’s the twist. You power this story—with your footsteps. Take a walk in someone else’s shoes. Uncover a long-buried secret.

Welcome to a story like no other. Walk the dog, run an errand, stroll the park, take a coffee break around the block. You can even run or jog, hit the treadmill, step machine, or elliptical. Now listen. And be prepared: this will move you in every way. Body, mind, and heart.

A cinematic saga for the ears. An intimate personal secret, dipped in folklore and magic. Eighty Thousand Steps is a unique, genre-bending interactive podcast about family and migration, inspired by the true story of journalist Crystal Chan’s search for what really happened to her grandmother as a refugee. Follow the clues beyond the headlines.

How do you keep going, no matter where life takes you?

From award-winning studios Stitch Media and CBC Arts: a show for those who walk their own path.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. What step will you take today?
