Welcome to Jackie and Anna’s podcast Assorted Perspective! On this episode we cover the wholesome topic of Friendship. We share our experiences and how anthropologists view friendship. 

This episode covers:

• What is friendship?
• Types of friendship
• Characteristics of friendship

Also a little bit of a spoiler alert for the Bollywood movie RRR (but not really because the plot points mentioned are revealed in a song pretty early on in the movie)

Special Thanks to Sebastian Bracamontes for writing and producing our theme song.
