  • Napolean at Carlton Gardens. S2E5
    This week we’re off to the movies! We’re joined by Jake this time, an up and coming film director and writer based in Carlton. We touch on how different ways of having access to #films over our upbringings have shaped our relationships with them. From the stylistic choices of Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon to the steps of the IMAX about to watch Ridley Scott’s #Napoleon, tune in to get a glimpse of us dwelling into why we have a special place in our hearts for the moving pictures.

  • Diamonds in the rough. S2E4
    Episode 4 welcomes our first guest of the season, Sherine! A lovely friend who joins us to discuss friendships! The value of friends, the cultivation of new friendships and navigating the grief of lost friends. All of this is recorded on the beautiful valleys of Diamond Creek in Victoria, the best place for spotting sheep, alpacas, hidden spots and if you look closely into the flowing water of the creek, you might even find some diamonds in the rough. #friendship #friends #outdoors

  • France vs. Spain. S2E3

    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.

  • King's Crossing at Second Line street party. S2E2
    This time we are in the midst of the Melbourne International Jazz 🎷festival to talk about music rhythm and how it has shaped us through our lives. This is recorded after a emotional tribute concert, in the middle of a New Orleans #jazz street party (which you will hear for two full minutes!) and before an Albanian folk #music concert. Get ready for an array of different sounds and noises from professional musicians and our own less-than-professional mouths. We also touch on our relationship with our voices and how that has evolved through time. 🎺🥁🎸🎻🪘

  • Name the demon so I can face it. S2E1

    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.

  • True love came in a purple wrapper. S1E8

    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).

  • I've now lived most of my life not knowing him. S1E7

    In this episode, we both reflect on a group of people who have had an immense impact on our lives: our grandparents.

We wrap it up with a short film review, touching on the Andrew Garfield renaissance.  ``
