Culture reporter Nicole Vassell delves into how we protect friendships, the challenges of living together, the unique bonds that form in house shares and why it’s important to always pick your battles.

Nicole is a culture reporter and reviewer, specialising in TV and theatre. She’s written for the independent Metro, Glamour, The Mirror, New Statesman and HuffPost. In her own words: a chief procrastinator, occasional showoff and South London gal.

Alice Wilkinson is an award winning journalist and author of How to Stay Sane in a House share - an essential deep-dive into shared living. Every week, join Alice as she jumps into the trials and tribulations of navigating one of the most complex living set ups of the 21st century- a house share and ultimately asks, how do you keep it together when you're living together?

How to Stay Sane in a House Share is a friendly and informed guide to house sharing you have been waiting for. From how to choose the right housemate to navigating conflict when it (inevitably) arises, Alice draws on interviews with experts such as Professor Dunbar, 'The Millennial Therapist' Sara Kubric and more to explore the anxieties that run the lives of young professionals living in house shares to help create a more harmonious home.
