Walking Radio - Episode 4 (1/2): Yasir

"Denial is not a solution." Welcome to Walking Radio — a podcast dedicated to amplifying the voices of people on the margins and the frontlines.This is a space where lived experience takes center stage, where stories are shared on their own terms, and where conversation happens in motion.In this episode, I chat with Yasir—a harm reduction and HIV activist from Pakistan whose work to combat stigma has reached across the globe.Yasir and I strolled through the bustling streets of downtown Toronto on the beautiful evening of Tuesday, May 27, 2025. We made our way to the Lake Ontario waterfront near Sugar Beach, where we chatted the sun down, overlooking the Toronto Islands. We explored enough to fill two episodes—so please join Yasir and me as we head south on Mutual Street for Part 1 of 2.Let’s walk together and see what pathways to better understanding we find along the way. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit walkingradio.substack.com
