Fwends

This week on Fwends, we’re joined by actor, writer, and all round big boy legend, Brendan Cowell. he's fresh off a nine week West End run to dissect the weird, wonderful, and occasionally sticky dynamics of Fwendship. From holding hands with a stranger on the first day of kindergarten to turning down ten grand for a worm medicine commercial just to survive high school bullying, Brendan breaks down how the bonds in our lives evolve as we do.

It's Only Fwends! Every fortnight, between interviews, we thwee Fwends have a little natter. The trio is scattered across the globe, sleep-deprived, and operating on bad medical knowledge.

Rhys is reporting live from Melbourne, fresh off a Gua Sha facial. Meanwhile, Georgia is dodging mysterious street megaphones in London and recalling exes who preferred animal growls in the bedroom.
