Strangers on a Bench

***ANNOUNCEMENT*** After 100 episodes of 'Strangers on a Break' it feels the right time to take a break. I can't say when it will return but I very much hope it will do one day. I've written more about this on an instagram post that you can find here. https://www.instagram.com/p/Db-JDbFDESZ/?img_index=1 Thank you so much for listening and see you on a bench one day!
