It seems as quickly as we’re filling this planet we’re each becoming more isolated. One in three people in Australia are experiencing high levels of loneliness. The UK now has a Minister of Loneliness and the US Surgeon General has declared loneliness a health epidemic. And whilst it can seem like a simple human emotion, loneliness can have serious health implications. Being consistently lonely can be as bad for us as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And so we built this podcast to break the loneliness cycle.

We’ve connected four people in their twenties with mentors to help them reconnect. We’re calling it a reality documentary podcast. We are Lonely will be available where you get your podcasts from August 8th.
