This Morning Walk

Alex Elle and Libby DeLana made a podcast that actually feels like going on a walk with two good friends. Alex is a New York Times bestselling author and writing coach based in DC; Libby is a creative director who splits her time between coasts. Their chemistry is warm and unforced, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy each other's company. The format is straightforward: the two hosts talk through themes of clarity, personal growth, and slowing down, often while literally walking. They also bring in guests for their "Walk & Talks" segments, where entrepreneurs, artists, meditation teachers, and storytellers join them outdoors for conversations that feel refreshingly unscripted. The whole thing is produced under Blind Nil Audio, the podcast network from Chip and Joanna Gaines, which gives it solid production quality without ever feeling overproduced. Episodes run about 35 to 40 minutes, which is a perfect length for a morning loop around the neighborhood. There are over 90 episodes so far, released weekly, so you have a deep back catalog to work through. Alex once described the show's ethos as being about "slowing down, looking up, and finding clarity in your daily life," and that sums it up well. It is not a fitness podcast or a self-help lecture. It is more like eavesdropping on a meaningful conversation between two thoughtful people who happen to be outside. The show sits at a 4.9 rating on Apple Podcasts with over 300 reviews, which tells you listeners feel the same way about it.
