A conversation between a 20-something and a 50-something about art, culture, faith, justice, equality and life in general. Fiona Hollow and Fiona Stewart both work in the cultural sphere and are both Christians. One lives in Glasgow, the other in London. Hollow is 26 and Substantial is 50. What can one generation learn from the other?

Intergenerational
Back to origin story, Fi and Fi contemplate how their intergenerational friendship has grown over the years, and how they have both changed in the time they've known each other. Plus, there are a couple of viewing recommendations and some thoughts on card-making and changing physical habit. Grab your beverage of choice and settle down for a chat.

Substantial but Hollow
The Fionas are back! It's been almost 2 years, but the time has come to lay down some new chat. After a bit of a catch up, there are some theatre and TV recommendations, a discussion of what Season 7 will hold and a tidbit of practical help about dealing with leftover food and speed tidying. Mens sansa in freezero sano. Or something.

Music
If music be the food of friendship, speak on! We’re on the very broad topic of music this episode. Before that, though, there’s a lot of chat and some fairly serious recommendations of reading and watching. It’s all very harmonious, of course.

Space
Pushing the boundaries of their known universe, Fiona and Fiona are on the topic of solar systems, galaxies and black holes in this episode. There's a recommendation of something to read, one of something to watch, and then a lot of spacey chat, some of which is rooted in fact, and all of which is full of wonder.

Theatre

Customer Reviews
Finally tuned in. So glad.
Sure I’m a bit late to the party but prompt has never been my middle name. To be fair, I’m glad, what a stupid name that would be. Anyway, H & S, I’m enjoying your company. I’m only up to series/season 2 ... and I know the whole world has changed since you made that ... but still great topics and no less relevant.
A joy of listening pleasure
What a delight of fun and happiness that comes through the interaction of these two women. There are thought provoking topics plus a fair mix of silliness and laughter.
Coming from an age that is somewhat more substantial I did find the comment (body image episode) regarding laundry being hung up on the same day as a head scratching moment - I just don’t understand not finishing the job. I will have to continue listening to ensure my education is completed!
Thank you both for this podcast x
Joyful and thought-provoking
This podcast has quickly become a favourite. There’s always something to chuckle at as well as wisdom to ponder. A lovely way to spend half an hour.
