Veteran DJs and close companions Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick have unveiled a brand-new podcast that centers on candid, free-spirited dialogues between the hosts and a rotating weekly guest.
Available now on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, Flirting With Friendship is a one-hour, visually driven series where the pair—acclaimed artists and cultural tastemakers—share stories, dissect current events and let their personalities shine. Filmed late at night in the intimate setting of Troxler’s family living room in Ibiza, it offers a uniquely personal vibe. Watch the teaser below.
The inaugural guest lineup spans a dynamic spectrum of DJs, visual artists, designers and other creative innovators, including Roisin Murphy, Damian Lazarus, Felipe Pantone, John Acquaviva, Chris Korda, Miranda Makaroff & Pascal Moscheni, George Stavro, Marcello Burlon and DJ Tennis.

In its debut installment, the hosts set the tone with an unfiltered conversation between themselves. The show’s mission statement emphasizes a commitment to “positive masculinity” and a novel approach to cultivating culture—fostering curiosity, community and genuine connection that transcends the dance floor.
Behind the scenes, Flirting With Friendship boasts a stellar creative team: produced by Nikita Stanley, co-founder of The Rebel Mama; guided creatively by Jesse Rogg, president of StrataSonic and owner of LA’s Mack Sennett Studios; and co-produced by Craig Pettigrew of Future Primitive and BPM Festival fame. Veronica Gessa (also known as mokibaby) handles set design, while award-winning cinematographer Lukas Strebel (Black Mirror) serves as director of photography.
“Friendships are funny—our lives hinge on connections,” says Troxler. “As we age, forging new bonds or deepening old ones grows rarer. Flirting With Friendship strips down those barriers. Bill and I have been friends for almost two decades. We challenge each other, annoy each other, but through it all, we’re invested. I hope listeners enjoy our dynamic as much as we do. We’re imperfect, but perhaps you’ll come to love us anyway.”
“I didn’t have much choice about this podcast,” adds Patrick. “When Seth said, ‘We’re doing a podcast,’ I just followed along. That’s the trust—or questionable judgment—that comes with a long friendship. This isn’t a self-help show; it’s proof you’re not alone in making dubious life choices or dealing with friends who won’t let you forget them. Expect us to roast, irritate, and occasionally praise each other in real time. And if you end up enjoying it? Well, that’s on you.”
