The Well Society

We've done hikes, we've done gigs, and this time we're doing a combinayshun of two things we love - playing FIFA and having a yarn. But it's not all random; while Dumi destroys (controversial) Dulana on FIFA we talk about our shared past in sport, funny memories of playing football together and how our relationship with sports has evolved. Dumi shares his transition from team sports to solo endurance sports while Dulana shares his added love for novel sports analytics.
Give it a listen and let us know what you think of this format.

You thought we were gone, but SIKE we're back again after a long hiatus. This was a special episode to kick off the new season of The Well Society full of spring freshness, birds, falls, and good boys (not us, doggos). We talk about why we've taken so long to get back into this, what has happened during that time and how that has shaped us. We touch on "the demons" we are facing at the moment and why it is so important to name them before we can face them. This eventually brings us to the importance of getting out of your mind and getting into your body.

This week, it's a special one. One of the most equally loved and hated days of the year - Valentine's. We share some stories of love that have stood the test of time in the face of incredible hardships. We also dive into our personal history and thoughts around valentines, partners, and love in general. Bonus: Dumi's past infatuation with a certain someone (or something).

In this episode, we both reflect on a group of people who have had an immense impact on our lives: our grandparents. Dulana shares his memories of one of his grandparents, and we discuss the gap between their generation and ours. We wrap it up with a short film review, touching on the Andrew Garfield renaissance.  ``

We are back from a two-month hiatus! In this episode, we discuss some interesting stories from when the both of us were away, why Ballarat might be the best (and the worst) travel destination in Victoria, what the future of this podcast will look like, and what lessons we both have learned in 2021. Happy 2022!
