Space For Friends

This week we get into live music from a few different angles; Flin’s more or less spontaneous performance experience and some recent family stories to go along, Julien’s latest in depth concert recap, highlighting the things that make experiencing music live feel so different from simply listening to it. From there, we end up in a broader conversation about shared interests; how important is it to actually like the same things as your friends, and how much can a friendship simply come down to enjoying each other’s company and vibing on a human level, as we reflect on hobbies, the role they play in our lifes with plenty of stories and detours, as always.

We start this episode by briefly addressing the disappearance of Episode 110 and why we ultimately decided to take it down, including some thoughts on not wanting Space For Friends to become a pure politics podcast and looking for the right balance and set/setting for it. From there, we get back to what Space For Friends does best: a loose collection of observations, new obsessions, ideas, stories, thoughts, and unexpected detours. A little bit of everything, as usual.

This week we get into the surprisingly difficult art of managing our time and energy levels, not just getting more done, but actually making space to rest, recharge, and be a friend to yourself, without forcing things and therefore causing more stress. We talk schedules, routines, tactics, and the idea of designing an “ideal week” that leaves room for alone-time, recovery, and the things that genuinely give us energy. Along the way, we reflect on adjusting our mindsets making time for ourselves even when life feels packed. And, as always, there are plenty of detours from neighborhood stories and a little book presentation to Flin’s story of creating the perfect gift for a friend. A conversation about finding a better rhythm, making space for yourself, and figuring things out.

This week we get into the uncomfortable side of being online and supporting 'strangers', what it feels like to watch scandals unfold in real time, from the Logan Paul incident in 2017 to a more recent situation involving one of Flin’s (now) former favorite content creators and cases of physical abuse (allegedly). That leads us into a bigger conversation about fandom, putting people on pedestals we don't actually know, and the difficult question of whether we can truly "separate the art from the artist".


A somewhat heavier episode, but still very much in the spirit of Space For Friends, including honest conversations, questioning perspectives, and making room for lighter moments too, including visits to cinemas and photo exhibitions, Julien’s search for a new apartment with his girlfriend, and a little full-circle moment.

This week we talk about the stress of looking for a job while trying to find something that feels genuinely useful, not just a way to make money, but a place where we can actually contribute and help other people. We continue Flin’s house-building story and learn about some of the relationships around his old neighborhood and some new dynamics, before getting into inclusive language and the arrival of our voting papers. We also share what might have been the most dangerous car ride of our lives, and, naturally, end up asking the important question: what would we actually bring to and do if we got stranded on a lonely island?

Recorded during the latest solar eclipse over Europe, this week’s conversation takes us from a quick return to last episode’s bathroom discussion and some of our own research into a reflection on fearfulness, fearlessness, and the filters we put over our perception of the world.
Flin also shares the story behind his latest side quest helping build a house, including the personal reason behind it, some unfortunate workwear choices, and reconnecting with people from the past while experiencing those relationships as adults. Ending the episode with what might be the last gym story for a while?!

This week we talk about our sleep, practises like controlling room/bed temperature as a life quality improvement hack, and other things that can make a difference. We also get into the idea of surveillance pricing and marketing and sales strategies we might fall victim to, as well as the challenge of staying financially disciplined when there is money to spend. From there, we share experiences of insults and disrespect at the workplace and discuss what to do in such cases, as well as concluding in counter balancing tough phases in life with positive observations and good news to remain hopeful and optimistic. And, as always, there’s a little more in between, including an rather unexpected end to the episode...

This week's episode was recorded "with the hot needle," as we would say in Germany. A phrase that means it was put together at the very last minute. Due to some scheduling issues, we almost had to skip this week's upload, but Julien came up with a great idea that allowed us to get the episode out on time.

Today's episode also focuses on Berlin's Christopher Street Day and the tragic events that occurred there. Our thoughts are with everyone affected and we want to express our deepest condolences to the victims, their families, and their loved ones. 

Lover Over Hate! 🧡

Happy International Day of Friendship!

This week’s episode revolves around one central question: what actually makes a good friend? Through a mix of stories, observations, and plenty of detours, we reflect on healthy expectations, mutual effort, boundaries, appreciation, and the qualities we believe help friendships grow and last. Along the way, we talk about the need of fitting in (or not caring to), first impressions and intimidating auras, experiences with addiction and the balance between empathy and accountability, and why simply being yourself shouldn't stop you from striving to be a genuinely pleasant person to be around. We also explore the power of choosing how we respond to life's challenges, sprinkled with a few lighter stories, including an unexpected debate about opening the door in your underwear, and the general importance of choosing the right socks. Hope you enjoy :)
