Jazz could not join us this week, however Simen stepped up and became Mixed Talk first ever guest. For two months you have followed our journey after university where we talk about relationships, finding jobs and representation, this time you get to listen to Simen´s side of the story. Simen explains how it feels to move far away from home for the first time and his thoughts about interracial relationships. 

It has been two months since we started this podcast and just wanted to give you guys a light episode to listen to, we put our friendship to the test and actually see if we know each other as well as we think we do. This week we are serving chaotic vibes only, give this podcast a listen and hear us slowly falling apart. 

We just want to say thank you so much for the people who take their time to actually listen to us and give us feedback. 

We are always looking for better ways to improve, so if you have any tips and tricks slide into our dms on instagram @mixedtalk99 or send us an email [email protected]

Olly has just finished being in a long distance relationship, as she is now back home. Jaz is soon going to enter a long distance relationship. We talk about what its like being in a long distance relationship, what we think about them and how we cope.

*Disclaimer* 

In this episode we talk about death and the unknown. 

We would like to dedicate this episode to our grandmothers whom both passed away earlier this year. They both were remarkable women that we look up to. We get carried away and talk about after life and the unknown discussing religion and what we think about the afterlife.

 If you find this episode hard to listen to feel free to wait til next week's episode or better yet listen to our past episodes if you haven't gotten around to it yet. 

If you are going through something similar and need someone to talk to send us a little message on instagram @Mixedtalk99 or email us on [email protected] and we will help you through it. (we are not professionals, but would love to be that someone that will listen) 

Stay safe and look out for one another

Hey Guys!

This is our introduction episode to our new podcast Mixed Talk.

Having both just graduated from Sussex Uni, we are now going out into the 'real world' and so, Mixed Talk looks at how two best friends grow up after university in two different countries. We will talk and gossip about recent events/ topics, work, relationships and daily life.

In this introduction episode, we let you know who we are, how we met and how our friendships grew. We also look back at our memories of uni together.

Hope you enjoy! :-)

Jaz and Olly aka JOLLY
