Maybe you go on your walks alone and want something different to listen to. Apple Fitness+ has a new Time to Walk audio program featuring celebrities like pop star Shawn Mendes, country legend Dolly Parton, actress Uzo Aduba, and NBA player Draymond Green as they go for walks in their neighbourhoods. It's an unscripted series launched on Monday, January 25, and will add more episodes on the same day every week until the end of April. The audio is playable through the Apple Watch, so all you need are AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones connected to them to listen to the stories.

The 25- to 40-minute episodes include anecdotes of life-shaping moments and memories, lessons learned, and other thought-provoking topics that might come up as they take walks. There will even be pictures appearing on the Watch to amplify certain moments that a guest shares. After they're done talking, the guests will introduce a short playlist of songs that inspire or motivate them, so you can continue your walk while listening to the specially-curated tracks.

None of us thought we would be still here, but, yet we are. How many of us can't imagine a world without our devices? As the world continues to move forward in these unprecented times (yes, there's that word again), Apple has released an interesting overview on what happened in 2020 and what we can look forward to in 2021.
