About

The familiar stranger podcast is a podcast exploring modern relationships, intimacy, loneliness & love.

In an era of hyper connectivity, why does it feel like we've never been further apart?

This is a intimate exploration of the invisible threads that pull us together and the forces that drive us into isolation. Each month we dive deep into the messy, wonderful, and often complex landscape of raw human connection

Every month Ian Forrester and Dr Jessica Symons, discuss the nuances of modern intimacy to the silent epidemic of loneliness, to the mechanics of love in the digital age. They take the relationships you think you understand and turn them inside out, revealing the strange, beautiful, and complicated truths beneath the surface.

If you've ever felt alone in a crowded room, this is the conversation you've been waiting for. Join them as they turn the ordinary inside out to find the extraordinary truths about how we relate to one another...
