Welcome to The Download: Season of Friends.
Jill opens her Season of Friends with a story of lifelong connection, cosmic coincidence, and a birthday adventure that somehow involves Steve Coogan. From Cambridge kitchens to Cornish cliffs and the tiniest island in the Atlantic, this is a funny, tender reflection on friendship, memory, and the mysterious frequency that keeps us linked across time and distance.
In this episode, Jill opens her “Season of Friends,” a heartfelt and funny exploration of the strange synchronicities, shared memories and timeless threads that connect us to the people we love.
The story begins in Cambridge, in a college kitchen decades ago, where Jill first met her lifelong friend and the friend's then-new boyfriend. It travels through forty years of friendship, birthdays, laughter, and the kind of adventures that become folklore within your closest circle.
At the centre is a magical and slightly surreal trip to Cornwall and the Scilly Isles for their joint milestone birthdays ten years ago, complete with toy planes, puffins, a cottage fire, and an uncanny connection with Steve Coogan - who by coincidence, was born the same week as the two friends, and somehow became an accidental fourth member of their friendship triangle.
✨ In this episode:
If you’ve ever felt that certain friends exist in a timeless field with you, appearing in synchronicities, birthdays, and passing thoughts, this episode will resonate.
So pour a glass, light a candle, or take a walk somewhere beautiful, and tune into the frequency called friendship.
