Podcast Overview

Is it possible to connect with anybody at all and have a conversation that enriches our lives? I’m Andrew Riis and welcome to the experiment. I believe there is depth, beauty and inspiration inside everyone when we take the time to connect. This podcast does just that. Each episode is a conversation with someone that is or used to be a stranger. Perhaps we don’t need scholars or celebrities to create a meaningful podcast... Maybe some of the best stories are tucked away, folded into the pockets of random passers-by, of people who may have just never been given a space to tell their story.

#19 Alec Snow — You Have to Start the Conversation to See Where It Goes

A special addendum to the season recorded in the first few days of me having my van, before a different kind of journey began... “You never know where the van is going to lead ya. You have to start the conversation to see where it goes.”-<a href="https://www.instagram.com/snowalec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Alec Snow</a> Publishing this conversation is a pretty special way to wrap up Season 1 of Hello, Stranger 5 years on. I wish you the courage to say a thousand hellos, the willingness to be broken open again into more of yourself, and the faith to believe in the magic of the everyday. Onwards. Love, Andrewandrewpriis AT gmail.com

#18 Mark V — Remembering Who We Are

This one cut deep and made me cry before I published it today. I chose the title not only because of the episodes and how it made me feel right now, but because of this feedback from a listener 5 years ago on how it helped her to remember her dreams. "As I listened to your conversation, I realised I forgot who I was. I had this dream which I let go of. I couldn't believe that I got stuck! I think your conversation is really nice because you're going to help a lot of people"- Estrella, listened to the episode in 2020 You can find mark on IG <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mark_vanderlugt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@mark_vanderlugt</a>, or if we're all lucky, having a fire with me and Dad on the farm :)

#17 Kaley S — You Are Braver Than You Think

I really value how Kaley sees the world and I hope you will find something similar or different in yourself when you listen to this :) you can find her on IG <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kaley_sise/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@kaley_sise</a>or at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/secondsunphoto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@secondsunphoto</a> "To prove how much I enjoyed it I listened to this episode the first time whilst I was doing a shift for work between phone calls and emails and I found myself holding out for those quiet times when I could continue with the podcast... I listened to it a second time just to make sure I hadn’t missed anything."- Amanda
