In the first-ever episode of The Disappointing Friend, hosts Fatuma Ndenzako and Juliet Miranda Rowe dive into the messiness of adult friendships—why they fail, how they evolve, and what we can do to be better friends.

Get to know the co-hosts as they share their friendship origin story and the friend breakups that lead them to starting the podcast.

Expect raw honesty, laughter, and the occasional tangent as they unpack the complexities of maintaining connections in a busy world.
