Where Are You Going?

Catherine Carr stops strangers to ask them “Where Are You Going?” and uncovers unexpected stories about people’s lives.

Named 'Podcast of the Year' by Radio Times and picked as 'Best Podcasts of the Year 2023' by the Financial Times, Observer, Pod Bible and The Week.


The conversations that follow are always unpredictable: sometimes funny, sometimes heart-breaking, silly, romantic or occasionally downright ‘stop-you-in-your-tracks’ surprising. Catherine’s been travelling and recording since 2014.


Be transported to places around the world and into the lives of others: You just never know what story is coming next…


We'll publish new episodes every Tuesday.

    Life is Beautiful…
    ….and hard and fascinating and heartbreaking and resilient and joyous. This is a deceptively simple but very affecting short pod and one of the best. Worth your time. I listened to it when it was w/ the BBC World Service and wish they still had the travel budget in addition to the UK eps as exposure to other cultures and countries feels so vital right now. But Catherine still seeks out ppl of all walks of life, without judgement. Her respectful curiosity elicits astounding stories from someone passing on a street at one moment in time before the day goes on for all of us. It has helped me through some very hard times just to know that we all struggle with the same losses. I find it really life-affirming.

    Great conversations
    This might be my favorite podcast - so simple, so easy to listen to, so interesting even when the topics of conversation are about every day life. What a lovely peak into the lives of strangers.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE
    Favorite podcast of any podcast - hands-down. A must-listen. It’s just a little real life story hug. 💕
  • MartinsFresno
    Definitely One of My Top Five Favorite Podcasts!
    I live in the U.S., but that doesn’t mean this podcast still isn’t an absolute treat to listen to each day. I love that each episode is well under 10 minutes. It makes it a perfect “palate cleanser” as I go from one podcast to the next. Catherine is able to get people to talk about the most intimate things in their lives, while at the same time respecting them and their privacy. That’s an amazing feat! Highly recommend.

    Beautiful peek into the lives of passersby
    If you’ve ever been curious about what the strangers you pass on the streets are up to, this podcast if for you. The stories Catherine shares are personal and surprising - such a fun short-form listen!
