Monday, June 1, 2026 • Duration 38:38

It's Only Fwends! Every fortnight, between interviews, we thwee Fwends have a little natter.

Olga Koch: The Literal-Expert-in-Fwends Fwend.

Season 9 · Episode 6

Monday, March 30, 2026 • Duration 55:54

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-Dive

The 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.
