Season 1 of Well, That’s Interesting ends with something different.

After a season of conversations with athletes, creatives, storytellers, and everyday people doing meaningful things with their lives…
This episode turns inward, with two short monologues.
Two powerful ideas.

One question that connects them both:

What are we losing when we stop going deeper?

From a packed cinema showing a 25-year-old film, to the way we respond to science and major global events.

This episode explores storytelling, curiosity, attention, and what it means to truly engage with the world around us.

If you’ve been following the journey so far, this is the perfect close to Season 1.
And if you’re new — this is where the conversation begins.

What does it really take to succeed as an athlete—and stay consistent when things don’t go your way?

-The mental resilience needed to handle losses and setbacks

-How to stay consistent in fitness and running

-The benefits of running for health, longevity, and mental clarity

-Practical advice for anyone looking to start running or improve performance

What is it really like to work in journalism today—and how do you balance that with becoming a mother later in life?

In this episode of Well, That’s Interesting, we sit down with broadcast journalist Sarah Chandoo for a powerful and insightful conversation on modern journalism, media literacy, misinformation, and motherhood.

From the fast-paced demands of the newsroom to the emotional weight of reporting difficult stories, Sarah shares what it truly takes to gather facts, stay objective, and deliver the news in an era shaped by social media and public opinion. We explore the growing challenge of misinformation and fake news, and why media literacy is more important now than ever before.

• The real life of a broadcast journalist
• Newsroom pressure, deadlines, and public scrutiny

• Why media literacy matters
• The emotional impact of covering sensitive stories

In this hilarious and refreshingly honest bonus episode of Well, That’s Interesting, I share a moment in my conversation with Nicollette Brathwaite from Episode 4 - Dancing Through Different Seasons of Life, where she is while juggling theatre deadlines in real time — literally editing a show program mid-conversation.

But the highlight of the episode is Nicollette’s unforgettable (and unexpectedly funny) storytelling about her delivery and the realities of postpartum life.

With humour, honesty, and plenty of “nobody warned me about this” moments, she shares the kind of experiences that turn shock into comedy once you’ve survived them.

It’s a candid, laugh-out-loud conversation about theatre, motherhood, and the beautifully chaotic reality of life behind the scenes.
