MOVING: flatshares, break-ups and escaping the endless grind


Listen Later


Welcome to another bonus episode, this time on the theme of moving: something we’ve been chatting about a lot over the last six months. Why are so many packing up the career ladder for a different way of life abroad? Is it easier to find love elsewhere? Why are people – including couples – flatsharing later in life than ever? And has it now become acceptable to live with your parents in your 30s? We unpick the most recent data and dive into all these cultural and social trends, while sharing our own experiences of moving, from how our first flatshares compared to pop culture tropes, to living with partners, parents and strangers. We would LOVE to hear about your experiences of moving, in any way shape or form, so please do DM us at @straightuppod, or email us a [email protected], and we can continue the conversation. (And don't worry we'll be back with this week's regular ep on Thursday!)


Please leave us review on Apple Podcasts or a rating on Spotify - it really does help keep our little pod going <3
