On this episode, John is joined by his dear friends Ryan Brown, Elissa Schufman, and PeggySue Imihy Bean to explore the importance of friendship. We explore questions such as how to go about trying to make friends as an adult?; is it possible for an outsider to make friends in Minneapolis?; how has your outlook on friendship been transformed during the pandemic?; can you maintain a friendship with someone across long distances, such as after they move from the Wedge to the Kingfield neighborhood?; how do you nurture a friendship?; and is it ok to exploit your friends for material for your podcast? Listen until the end for recommendations for fun things to do with your friends. Also: John asks about the right way to use social media and DMs in pursuit of friends, after which PeggySue introduces us to the phrase "Girls, Gays, and Theys Only."
