PODCASTING WITH FRIENDS

The best podcast hosts are ones who care and look out for one another. To coincide with the ‘Cupid’ issue, we’re celebrating the friendships behind two of our shows. 
20Somethings
 

The 20Somethings podcast celebrated the magical ride that is your 20s, diving into all the highs and lows this period of rapid change brings. It ran with Salient back in 2021.

‘You Should be Loving Someone’

This episode is all about love (can you believe it?), covering everything from developing crushes, being good to yourself in a relationship, and more. 

‘Friendships Unpack(ed)’

Joined by Kii and Thabi of the ^Unpack^ podcast, this episode’s about a different kind of relationship. Celebrating friendships, they chat about how friendships grow closer or apart, and how they change shape over time. 

‘What Now?’
On this episode, the team dives into the wonders of childhood in Aotearoa, looking back at the nostalgic hallmarks that encompassed our friendships and favourites as kids. 

FOR REAL?

The FOR REAL? podcast platforms real conversations between besties Liv and Gabi, diving into how they experience their university years. They chat about their friendships, flatting, drama, and getting the most of their uni life. 

‘Our REAL Besties!’

Joined by their friends Kate and Ruby, this episode is not just a chronicle of the real life friendships around the podcast, but also a real celebration of the love between friends and the importance of relationships you form at university. 

‘The Mid-Year Crisis is Real.’

How does stress affect your relationships? Liv and Gabi are in the middle of the university year, and as stress sets in, they check in with one-another about how going with the flow might not be the perfect solution. 

‘AIYC… really’
It doesn’t get more real than a FOR REAL? sleepover! Liv and Gabi update each other on the ins and outs of their lives and how they can keep each other grounded. It's about the importance of remembering you’ve got people in your corner.
