My Best Friend's Podcast

The classic TikTok trend, but make it chaotic and full of tangents 

Today we talk about the bare minimum and what you should expect from a romantic partner. We discuss what our personal bare minimum is as well as what we think the general bare minimum should be.  We all deserved to be treated in a respectful way that makes us feel good. We hope this episode encourages you to evaluate what your bare minimum treatment is for future relationships. 

You'll all be very pleased to hear that we're not going to talk about the alphabet anymore. Join us for the last third of the worst shit! 

Join us for the second part of finding the worst things starting with every letter!

Welcome to the three-part special that nobody asked for.  The A-Z of the worst shit ever. Don't worry, we kept the super grim stuff out of it for the most part xo 

An episode that was purely supposed to be about Miss Rona and our retrospective opinion turned into a 50/50 topic split  50% about Covid and how it affected us  And 50% about how Nicole would perform the perfect heist (spoiler: she would rob Baynes) 

Another guest episode with our good friend, Craig Smith!  Craig has lived with cerebral palsy since he was a baby, and today he talks with us about what its been like for him.  We discuss growing up, dealing with idiots and being at the top of his game in the swimming world. 

Today we're talking about all things first dates.  What kind of dates we like, whats the protocol, and how long do you wait to text afterwards?  Join us as we answer all the big questions when it comes to the first date!

Today we're discussing all things adulting - what we like and what we don't  With us both turning 25 in the next couple of weeks, we wanted to really chat about what we think of being an adult, and what things we're not so hot on  We also both have covid in this ep, so the vibes are not sky high - but as always the patter makes up for it 

In this episode, we dissect our reg flags Some of them are universal (dirty bathrooms, being a massive transphobe)  Others are slightly more...specific (wearing pop socks) 

Today we're chatting about all things awkward.  Most of them involve roadside interactions and supermarket etiquette, but they all make us want to internally die.   Let us know what things you find awkward! 

Today we chat about all things therapy!  We discuss why we think basically everyone needs it, and the benefits of it. Therapy is still very much a slightly taboo topic and we wanted to talk about our own experiences with it, in the hopes that it makes you guys feel more comfortable discussing it with others.  Useful links:   https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/mental-health/find-a-psychological-therapies-service/ https://projekt.snapforms.com.au/form/projekt-42-counselling-self-referral-form-2020

Today we're looking at modern dating advice and if any of it is actually any good. Treat em' mean, keep em' keen.  It'll happen when you least expect it.  Don't settle.  We discuss these and many more, while trying to determine if any of it is actually helpful.

Welcome to our first episode of 2022 - it's a wild ride.  Join us as we record our first remote episode recovered over zoom, and Nicole tries to piece together her thoughts while Kristin guides the conversation about the pressures surrounding a new year and resolutions.  As always, there's a lot of fun to be had, even if the whole ep is a tangled mess of thoughts and opinions. 

Today we talk about the interesting year that we're about to leave behind. We discuss what's happened this year, and also what we'd like to happen in the year moving forward.  We talk about the importance of setting goals and we discuss at length Nicole's biggest fashion faux pas of the year. (Kristin was very butthurt about it)

This week is a special one as we are releasing two episodes all about break ups!  In the episodes we talk about getting dumped, being the dumper, the best way to break up with someone and if time is the greatest healer.  As always, we take the piss out of ourselves discussing our previous relationships (don't worry, we give them all cool code names for purposes of anonymity) 

This week Kristin interviews Nicole and they talk all about the relationship with food so many of us have. We discuss noticing a problematic relationship with food, how to get it to a better place, and what to do if you notice a friend with a difficult relationship with food.  More of a serious topic, but still discussed in a light hearted way!
