Kismet is a podcast about how people met and connections are made.
Each week we capture the real memories of how friendships, rivalries, romances and adventures began. We weave stories with sounds and music to set the scene and document the separate sparks, the quickened hearts and the unintended consequences that lead to life-changing encounters.

My new favourite podcast
Kismet is a twist on the first person story genre - parallel interviews with people about how they met, stunningly edited and produced. Definitely worth checking out if you like Strangers, The Moth, Everything is Stories, Love and Radio etc
Love love love!!
