  • Episode 71: Do You Fancy A Drink?

    Welcome to episode 71.

    This week we're discussing whether having a drink when out with friends is necessary and expected, or safe to skip. For those who don't drink, are you considered 'the boring one?'

    Kirsten doesn't drink very much at all, and Andre may have a drink when out with friends or at a gig, but not always.

  • Episode 70: Do We Dream For A Reason?

  • Episode 68: When It's Over, It's Over

    Welcome to episode 68.

    This week we're discussing the idea that when Christmas is done with, it's time to put down the decorations and plan for the year ahead. For us, we like to have it done before January 6, but some wait for the full twelve days before taking everything down.

    we also talk about the fine gifts we received and the fantastic food we ate over this period, along with thoughts and ideas for 2026.

    From Andre and Kirsten at StroongeCast, we'd like to wish you all a happy and healthy new year.

  • Episode 64: Don't Be SAD

    Welcome to episode 64.

    This week we discuss 'SAD' (Seasonal affective disorder ) in which, during certain parts of the year, you may feel particularly sad about life and the world at-large.

    We also discuss Kirsten's trip to Copenhagen and the Christmas Market at Tivoli Gardens in Denmark that she visited last weekend with her sister.

    Some info about SAD:

    Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern.
    SAD is sometimes known as "winter depression" because the symptoms are usually more apparent and more severe during the winter.
    Some people with SAD may have symptoms during the summer and feel better during the winter.
