In our fifth episode of the Friendship Stories series, Justin joins me to tell us what makes a true Friend for him, how matters of reciprocity have made him choose his Friends more carefully, and what made some of his Friendships last and some die.

Brace yourself for that and many more while enjoying your scrumptious evening tea and thank you once again for listening to Tea Buddies!
