Learning is typically associated with school or further education - but in truth we are all lifelong learners in one way or another. We can choose to actively pursue learning outside of formal education. That might be in the form of taking a class, participating in an event, or simply reading about something to become more informed. In this episode Chris chats to his friend Sara about what they are still wanting to learn or understand better.

Q: If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self?

Advice to our younger selves is obviously a hypothetical because at the time of recording time travel hasn’t been figured out. But it poses an interesting question to think back on the things we’d like to have known earlier in life, and potentially behaviours or decisions we wish we’d come to earlier or perhaps never made. Given proper thought, it could have implications for the advice we pass on to our present self and/or younger people we know. In this episode, Chris and his mate Paddy discuss what they'd say to their younger selves given the chance.

Q: What do you write about, and why?

Writing can take many different forms as a hobby. It can lead to producing scripts, poems, jokes, books for public consumption. Or it can be purely personal - journalling, keeping a diary. Whether it’s a cathartic release, an enjoyable creative pursuit, or something more, there are many reasons why people write. In this episode, Chris chats to his friend Carter about their respective writing and what it brings to their life. A timely conversation given Carter is on the verge of publishing his first novel.

Sports teams. Whether it’s a local club, a team that your family have been following for generations, or a national team competing at a major tournament, the majority of us will feel some level of affinity towards one or more sports teams.

Not only can it affect our mood in the short-term, but it can provide us with unforgettable moments of joy, form a part of our identity and provide a sense of belonging. In this episode Chris chats to returning pod guest Sean about the sports teams that they support, and how much that forms a part of their lives.
