Homebound: The strangers who make my last mile home possible
from Footprints
Spring Festival, arguably the single most important festival in China. Millions of people take the opportunity to travel back to their hometowns, reuniting with their parents, children and old friends. In China, this travel boom is called the Spring Festival travel rush, also known as the largest annual human migration on earth. This homebound journey isn’t always easy for everyone. But luckily, there’re always kind strangers who’re willing to help.

Bigfoot's Wilderness Podcast
Welcome to Bigfoot’s Wilderness. Here, the forest has a voice… and every story leaves footprints. In this podcast, we explore encounters from people who swear they’ve seen something they can’t explain — something massive, intelligent, and watching from the tree line. These aren’t campfire legends or recycled myths. They’re real stories told by real people — hunters, hikers, families, skeptics… ordinary folks who walked into the woods and came back changed. You’ll hear about the eyeshine that follows you down the trail, the sudden silence when the forest seems to hold its breath, and those heavy footsteps that don’t belong to any known animal. Out here, we don’t chase proof — we chase truth.So settle in… because the wilderness is big. And something out there is bigger. Welcome to Bigfoot’s Wilderness.© 2017–2025 Bigfoot’s Wilderness.

Kiitsu—Returning-to-One
Andrew James Brown/Caute
Welcome to "Kiitsu—Returning-to-One" the podcast formally known as "Making Footprints Not Blueprints." My name is Andrew James Brown, and I’m the Minister of the Unitarian Church in Cambridge, UK. Knowing that full scope always eludes our grasp, that there is no finality of vision, that we have perceived nothing completely, and that, therefore, tomorrow a new walk is a new walk, I hope that, on occasion, you’ll find here some helpful expressions of a creative, inquiring, free and liberative religion and spirituality that will help and encourage you to journey through life, making footprints rather than blueprints.
