In this deeply raw and honest conversation, Ponch sits down with a close friend who opens up about their experience of being bullied. As emotions come to the surface, we explore what it means to truly feel pain rather than bury it – and how allowing ourselves to process can become a step towards healing.

From there, the discussion broadens into big questions: reality tunnels, the ways we each filter the world, and how awareness of these filters shapes the lives we live.

This is not an easy listen, but it is an important one. Vulnerability, philosophy, and the messy business of being human all weave together in this powerful episode.

In this special episode of Pondering with Ponch - the first video episode - I’m joined by my dad for a journey through time, education, and the meaning of existence. We explore the moment Ponch was born, what schools get wrong, why social media might be the end of everything, and how to face death without fear. Two ponchos, one father-son chat, and a whole lot of pondering...

The first ever episode!

The only way is up ;)
