““Strangers on a Bench” is a podcast that invites you to sit back and get wonderfully lost in the fascinating lives of complete strangers. Host Tom has an uncanny ability to draw out the intricacies of each person’s story, illuminating the unseen chapters of lives that cross his path. Every episode becomes an invitation to experience what the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows defines as “sonder” – the realisation that each passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as our own.
What makes this podcast special is the way Tom’s conversations go beyond surface introductions and dive deep into the vivid backstage of ordinary lives. You begin to feel a bond with strangers you’ll never meet but whose stories stay with you. It’s rare to find a podcast that so elegantly reminds us of our shared humanity and the unique beauty of every life. If you’re looking to experience the richness of “sonder” or to simply feel more connected in a world of fleeting interactions, “Strangers on a Bench” is a listen you won’t soon forget.”
