Threewheeling

Not a habit, a happy surprise!

Sun, 25 Jun 2023 02:43:16 GMT

We're back - we're random - and we're embracing the chaos! Sascha is back from her massive trip, and re-connected with lots of friends, and Laurel has been to one of her all time favourite events - a clothes swap. (Listen to Questioning Fashion as well pls!)

Editors Note: This episode is over an hour, but Sascha had to cut 20 minutes when she edited. Should we talk longer? Is that what the people want? Or is this already indulgent enough? Emails us/text us/instagram us - we want to know.

You're not Nigella and it's ok

Thu, 13 Apr 2023 03:21:21 GMT

In our latest episode, Laurel finds the delights of housewarming on a smaller scale and the importance of asking for help when you're hosting. Shout out to Heather, the real MVP. Sascha isn't making new pals because something's got to give when you're preparing for a trip overseas and trying to do all the things...and that's ok! We've got some cultural delights here, too.

Anthropological studies in the sauna

Sun, 02 Apr 2023 08:05:10 GMT

We're in flow again people! Laurel has been enjoying little mini-breaks around NSW, and Sascha is planning her upcoming adventure across two continents, and reconnecting with old friends. We discuss the fact that the bros seem to love the sauna, and admire the 70s gear on show in Daisy Jones and The Six.

We've had a new listener Natalie point out a typo that's been in the show for two years, so Sascha wants to say, I edited this on F1 Race Day, so if there are small errors - she begs forgiveness! She was watching Hamilton race around the Albert Park track!

Cultural sweet treats

Wed, 22 Dec 2021 11:00:00 GMT

It's been such a month. Laurel and Sascha have been travelling for work, moving house, packing up their lives and trying their best to avoid a Christmas spent in pandemic-enforced isolation. Laurel's been trying not to get her knickers in a twist while meeting new people, Sascha's been returning to some old favourites for reading material and cranking up the sweet, sugary hit of a Sex And The City reboot / And Just Like That...

There's some mobile static on this one, forgive us, Laurel's internet is shoddy at her new flat so we dialled in old school.

Laurel kicks off the pod with the tale of her fantastic neighbourhood correspondence. She's well and truly raised the bar, and Sascha is feeling the pressure... Both are rolling in the deep of the Red album (Taylor's version), so reflect on their respective journeys as Swifties. Sascha talks about a phenomenon known to anyone trying to make new friends - aka 'the liking gap', and then practises her best, 'Bond, James Bond', impression.

Let's start at the very beginning...

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 02:31:32 GMT

Laurel and Sascha set up their microphones (after a very long twenty minutes of trouble shooting) to chat about their first episode. Both know the challenges of making friends in new cities at a time in life when, perhaps, it might feel everyone has already found the people they're sticking with, and both are facing the groundhog day experience of lockdown land.

To make friends, Sascha says join a fitness class. And make a daily trip to the cafe to chat to your friendly neighbourhood barista. Meanwhile, Laurel is trying to make friends on Zoom events despite feeling a bit screened out.
