Ian Forrester & Dr Jessica Symons

Making the familiar strange

A podcast exploring modern relationships, intimacy, loneliness and love. In an era of hyper connectivity, why does it feel like we've never been further apart? In an intimate exploration of the invisible threads that pull us together and the forces that drive us into isolation. Each month we dive deep into the messy, wonderful, and often complex landscape of raw human connection.
