Episode 3 - Doing the social rounds and reflecting on loneliness
Doing the social rounds and reflecting on loneliness In the third and final podcast, we’ll talk about how to circulate and network at social events, reflect on loneliness versus solitude, the pros and cons of being on your own, what makes us feel lonely, and how you might address these kinds of feelings if you experience them.

Episode 2 - Finding your people
Looking for friends and breaking the ice In the second podcast, we’ll consider how you might go about meeting people – both in terms of where you might look for potential friends and what you might say to them when you find them. We’ll then go on to reflect on how to make closer personal connections with people with whom you might already be on friendly terms.
