This podcast is my contribution to our global hunger for connection. "Not Quite Strangers" brings together people who have never met to engage in authentic conversations. You'll hear deeply personal stories, experiences, and shared humanity.
In a world where genuine connections can sometimes feel elusive, "Not Quite Strangers" serves as a beacon of hope. It showcases the beauty of human interactions, the power of storytelling, and the strength of vulnerability. This podcast is a testament to the fact that, despite our differences, we are all connected by our shared experiences and the universal desire to connect with others.
"Not Quite Strangers" isn't just a podcast; it's a reminder that, with an open heart and a willingness to listen, we can find common ground and build bridges of understanding in a world that often seems divided. It's a journey of connection, one conversation at a time, and it's an experience that leaves a lasting impression on the hearts of its listeners.

Customer Reviews
Fun Premise and Interesting Guests
I listen to quite a few podcasts, and I haven’t listened to another one quite like Not Quite Strangers. The host, Valerie Hope, brings together 2 people who don’t know each other and leads a conversation. No 2 sessions are the same and part of the fun is that you never know exactly where the conversation will go, yet somehow it is always fun.
