The Long Way Round is a weekly conversation about the detours that shape meaningful work.
Each episode, Maya Ellison talks with a maker, designer, writer or late bloomer about how they found their way: the false starts, the lucky breaks and the quiet decisions nobody saw.
The show is independent and listener supported. There are no ads in the middle of a conversation, and there never will be.
