• Lonely, Not Alone – The Thinking Behind the Song
    Mar 28 2026

    You can be surrounded by people…
    and still feel completely on your own.

    This song is about that feeling.

    Not fixing it.
    Not hiding it.
    Just understanding it.


    Here, I explain the thinking behind the song, and give you a little preview.


    “Lonely, Not Alone” is out now.

  • Still Here – A Note from Riley Via
    Jan 12 2026

    This is a short spoken piece from Riley Via, recorded ahead of the release of her debut single Still Here.

    In this episode, Riley talks quietly about the song, what it means to her, and why her music is designed to meet people at different moments, without instruction or expectation. It is not an explanation, and it is not a message. It is simply a moment of presence.

    This podcast sits alongside Riley’s music as part of the same world. Calm, reflective, and intentionally unobtrusive, it is made for listening without pressure, whether you are paying close attention or just letting it sit with you.

    Still Here is released on 16 January and will be available on all major streaming platforms.

  • One Night of Pleasure, A Lifetime of Regret! Alcohol, Driving, and the Consequences We Never See
    Nov 26 2025

    In this first episode of Riley’s Road, Riley explores one of the most confronting realities in road safety: the impact of alcohol on judgement, awareness, and the decisions that change lives forever. Drawing on insight from the N332 Road Safety Project, she examines drink driving from three powerful angles — the driver, the police officers who face the aftermath, and the families whose futures are torn apart in moments.

    This episode unpacks how confidence can mask impairment, why officers carry these scenes with them for years, and what families endure long after the headlines fade. With calm, clear guidance, Riley explains why the only safe limit is zero and why the choices we make during celebrations matter long after the night ends.

    A reflective, essential message for the festive season — and a reminder that one decision behind the wheel can define a lifetime.
