The Long Game

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

There are many great loves women can find in their lives. Best friends, sisters, ‘The One’, the one who got away and of course, the gay best friend.

It really is a love like no other. And because it’s a friendship, deep and fulfilling but platonic, it doesn’t have the same pressures as a romantic relationship. Nothing could ever come between you, or change what you have. Until, it does.
