Sonder

This week on Sonder, Rosie and Joss are joined by Amanda Sandow, who was born into the circus world and has lived a life far removed from the ordinary.

From performing on the flying trapeze and walking the wire on stilts to working with horses, elephants, polar bears and grizzly bears, Amanda shares stories from an extraordinary career. We chat about life on the road with the circus, learning such a diverse range of skills, and how she eventually moved towards working with horses.

Amanda also tells us about her miniature ponies and how she trains them for circus life.

This week on Sonder, Rosie and Joss are joined by stunt performer Annabel Canavan to talk about life in one of the most exciting industries imaginable.

From being set on fire and falling from buildings to working alongside some of the biggest names in film and television, Annabel shares how she broke into the stunt world and what life is really like behind the scenes on major productions. We chat about the challenges of stunt work, memorable moments from set, how the industry has evolved over the years, and what it takes to perform safely in such a high-risk profession.

We also talk about balancing an adventurous career with family life and motherhood, and the lessons she's learned from a career spent pushing boundaries.

This week on Sonder, we're revisiting one of our favourite conversations with Jo Horsman.

Originally released exclusively to our subscribers, we're now sharing this bonus chat on our free platforms for the very first time.

In this second part of our conversation, Jo shares more about life after losing her sight, including her solo trip to Scotland (where her false teeth somehow arrived before she did), the things she's most proud of doing independently, and the adventures that continue to prove life doesn't stop after change.

Full of Jo's trademark positivity, humour and perspective, this episode is a reminder that even the biggest challenges don't have to define what's possible.

This week on Sonder, Rosie and Joss are joined by Joe Jackson to chat about his life working aboard the RRS Sir David Attenborough research ship and his photography, along with the incredible places his career has taken him.

We talk about life at sea, working in Antarctica, witnessing a solar eclipse from the middle of the ocean, and the realities of living and working in some of the most remote parts of the world. We also explore Joe's passion for photography, the wildlife encounters that have stayed with him, and the stories behind capturing people, landscapes and nature through his lens.

This week on Sonder, Rosie and Joss are back together for a proper catch-up.

We chat about what we’ve been up to over the last couple of months, from work adventures and exciting projects to the seasonal silliness that always seems to creep in at this time of year. We also talk about Joss turning 30, what we’ve been reflecting on lately, and plenty of the usual tangents along the way.

A cosy episode full of life updates and catching up.

This week on Sonder, Rosie and Joss are joined by Tim Slinger, the man who is having a Mid-Life Tricisis.

We chat about Tim's journey into fitness, what inspired him to take on triathlons, and how a hobby quickly became a passion. From not being able to swim and nearly drowning in Blenheim Lake to training for an Ironman, Tim shares what keeps him motivated when the alarm goes off for those early morning sessions.

A fun and inspiring conversation about pushing your limits, finding your people, and discovering what's possible when you challenge yourself.

This week on Sonder, Rosie and Joss are joined by Sophie Ellis, founder of Halt Equestrian.

We chat about Sophie’s journey from an idea to building a brand, the realities of running a growing business, and what goes into designing products that balance style, comfort and performance. We also discuss how equestrian fashion has evolved, the importance of community, and the inspiration behind Halt Cycle.

Alongside the business side, Sophie shares her experience of balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, the lessons she's learned along the way, and what's next for the brand.

This week on Sonder, Joss is flying solo while Rosie is away working, and he's joined by Georgie Gascoigne, the creator behind Sweet and Savoury.

From beautiful dinner parties and signature dishes to simple midweek meals and the art of bringing people together through food, Georgie shares the inspiration behind her much-loved platform.

We chat about balancing creativity with everyday life, creating recipes that are both delicious and achievable, and why food is about so much more than what's on the plate.

In this week's Sonder episode, we get to know artist Beth Tidmarsh a little better beyond the sketchbook!

We chat about balancing a career in the NHS with a growing creative business, the places that inspire her work, and how a love of drawing buildings turned into a thriving artistic journey. A relaxed conversation about creativity, travel and finding inspiration in the everyday.
