Only Fwends | Only Fellas

It's Only Fwends! Every fortnight, between interviews, we thwee Fwends have a little natter. In this episode we learn about Georgia's spontaneous half marathon (walking), Rhys's fight club, Kyran's puzzle spot, and we decide that s*x twice in a day is too much. And of course, everyone's still thinking about the baboon.Georgia's Half Marathon Fundraising page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/georgia-mooney-walks-quicklyCONTACTVoicemail - speakpipe.com/fwendspodEmail - [email protected] - PO Box 24144, Melbourne, VIC 3001, AustraliaFWENDS WITH BENEFITSGet ad free listening and access to the Simply Marvellous archive!

It's Fwends LIVE! Recorded at a sold out Comedy Republic (ever heard of it?) during Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Fwends chat with comedy/literary/music sensation David O'Doherty. Is this typically sprawling conversation, the gang cover starting a detective agency, comedy competitions in the late 1990s and who the ultimate forever Fwends is.

It's Russia's/Several other countries' Olga Koch! One of the world's best comedians and, as we find out in the episode, also a real bloody brainiac. Join the gang as we learn that we are definitely in para-social relationships, Kyran is very good at segues, and Rhys is trying to interview someone. A joy! Fwends!The Parasocial Deep-DiveThe core of the episode revolves around Olga’s academic and personal obsession with how we form bonds with people we don't actually know.Defining the "Fwendship": Olga explains that the term "parasocial relationship" was coined in the 1950s regarding talk show hosts, but has been "turbo-charged" by social media and podcasts.The Intimacy of Audio: She notes that podcasting creates the most intense version of this bond because the host is "directly in your ear" for long periods, leading listeners to feel they are part of a "perceived inner circle".The Emotional Reality: Olga argues that even if a relationship is "imaginary" or one-sided, the emotional response (the dopamine hit from a message or the grief when a character dies) is biologically valid and real.SEE US LIVE AT MICF 2026We are bringing FWENDS to the stage at Comedy Republic for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival!
