Long Distance was created by 3 childhood friends, Syah, Ilham, and Ika, who wanted to share their experiences living in 3 (now 2, since Ika moved back to Jakarta) different geographical locations.
Where we've been, what we've been up to, and the future of the pod.
Yup this was recorded on February 6th - a thousand apologies. But here are our predictions on how this year might pan out: covid, marvel movies, digital movie releases vs. going to the cinema, and more.
Is it really possible for two people to be best friends without one developing feelings for the other? In this episode, we take a stab at answering that question, with the help of a special guest.
