Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Julian Hoffman- Lifelines
Q: How did the move to Prespa begin, and what did it teach you?

Julian Hoffman- Lifelines
Q: What is a lifeline?
A lifeline is a multifaceted connection—something you cling to or share, a story passed on, and a trigger for action that keeps people, communities, and cultures alive in changing times.
Anthony Seldon : The Path of Light. Walking to Auschwitz
Q: Why walk to Auschwitz?
The host asks why the author chose this specific journey, and Seldon explains the aim to understand the capacity for horror and the possibility of learning from the courage of those who protected others, turning the walk into a moral and reflective practice.
Amelia Thomas : What Sheep Think About the Weather.
Q: What impact do you hope your book has on readers and their relationship with both animals and other humans?
Amelia hopes readers become better at listening without expectations, applying patience to human relationships by first learning to listen to animals, thereby reducing polarization and increasing empathy.
