The Episode That Was (Not) Meant To Be

Space For Friends ·

2025/09/16

This episode was destined to be different.From the recording almost getting canceled, to making it work regardless - with suboptimal audio and delays resulting in unwanted pauses and talking over each other more often than usual (lol).Nevertheless we end the episode richer, than when we started it, finding in it some food for thought and stress relief, gaining new insights, sharing proud moments of integrity, as well as the having the occasional laugh and hearing fun stories about Flin trying to get

Bad Dreams Only

Space For Friends ·

This episode didn’t go precisely as planned, and maybe that’s exactly what made it interesting. With Flin running behind schedule and both of us feeling the weight of mental exhaustion, we found ourselves clashing more than usual.
