So a lot has changed since our last episode. We are now mid way through week 4 of lockdown during a global pandemic - but hey, even though we're apart we're going to be bringing you the best of mate. as usual and hopefully add a little cheer to your week!
True to form and with even more time on our hands, this weeks episode features a collection of everything we've been enjoying throughout lockdown. We share our must-read books, binge worthy series, favourite films and magazine articles. We've also got some great foodie tips and recommendations. We also share how we're both adapting to our new solitary lifestyle.
Now, more than ever, we would love to hear from you, so please share with us your lockdown stories and send us any questions you may have for the both of us. We would love to answer them during the next episode.

On this weeks episode we are bringing you the best of what we have been up to this past week, including Sofie's top Copenhagen picks. More importantly, we discuss whether men and women can ever actually be just friends or does one person always seem to want more? We also chat about a recent study which reveals why millennials are opting for a quiet night in over a wild night out.
Our Ask Mate question this week is for our favourite go-to recipes and where would we choose for the perfect city break.

On this weeks episode we discuss how the likes of Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles are ushering in a new wave of masculinity, with both experimental fashion and 'soft boy' PDA's - and how we as a culture, are welcoming the change. We also discuss an article from Man Repeller which dissects our need for 'stuff' and what exactly does our stuff say about us? Whether it be materialist stuff, stuff which comforts us or our clothing.
On mate to mate this week, we answer one listeners question about how to deal with friendship incompatibilities - maybe when you don't feel up to doing what all of your friends are doing and how to step away from situations where you don't feel comfortable whilst remaining non-judgemental or feeling like a party pooper.
As of our next episode, mate to mate will be changing slightly to our newly updated segment ASK MATE! where you can write to us with a question of any kind, whether it be
emotional support, friendship or romantic advice or whether you just want to know what our top 5 city breaks or restaurants are, ask us how we spend our days off, what do our careers look like day-to-day? What is our favourite snack, cereal homeware brand? You can ask mate literally anything!
