I rocked up to a singles night at a bowling alley…

I parked out the front with the Podvan, waiting to chat with some of the locals brave enough to walk in solo.


In this episode I chat with:

• Grace, who moved to the Coast with no mates and has built friendships through these events

• Irene, a widow who’s learning to reinvent herself

• Steve, a men’s coach sharpening his social skills post-divorce

• Scott, a full-blown pro bowler (yes, with the wrist guard and his own balls)

• And Lisa from Connect Social, the driving force behind these fun events


We talk loneliness, laughter, starting over, and why it’s worth putting your jammies aside and saying yes to something new.


Thanks as always to our Patreon crew for supporting this little retro caravan of stories.
