Coffeeshop Colloquies: Recent Episodes
Coffeeshop Colloquies
A podcast in a coffeeshop conversation style - two friends discussing different topics https://coffeeshopcolloquies.home.blog/
All you long-time non-listeners will remember that we talked about these 36 questions in the first episode of our love series. The theory is that if you ask all of these questions to someone, you will fall in love with them. We thought we'd take a one-time trip back to the subject of love and put it to the test by asking each other a few of the questions, to maybe increase our "Philia" love.

In order to ensure we didn't procrastinate or not finish this "series" we decided to roll together fear and surprise because, how different can they really be anyway? You're in for some fear and surprise with this one as Kate has problems recording her audio correctly (hey, we never said we were professionals..)
Hot DAMN we're back for a third series... who'd have thought that we would actually be this consistent with something!? This month we discuss happiness, ironic really because at the time of recording we were deep in lockdown number two and feeling rather sorry for ourselves...
