Gah. I hate closed eco-systems like Apple has become. Can't listen unless you own an Apple product or allow iTunes to take over your machine. Anyway... I'll share one that I enjoy. Don't agree with everything said, but it sure makes me think: Naval https://open.spotify.com/show/7qZAVw03FuurfYnWIWwkHY?si=8bce46fb3d6c48e8

Sorry, I grabbed the Apple links because they are handy but I think many of these podcasts are published on numerous platforms! I recommend searching for them on Spotify and other platforms, too. I'll check out your recommendation!

I'll look for the others too. Thanks!

The same on that Dan Levy and Andrea Gibson podcast. Loved the one with Gibson’s partner too. And I thought you’d enjoy the conversation Ezra Klein had this week on friendship. πŸ’₯

Thanks, Sonya. I look forward to tuning into that! Was it the episode called "What Relationships Would You want, if You Believed They Were Possible?"

That's it, with the author of "The Other Significant Others," Rhaina Cohen.

Sonya, thank you for this suggestion. I listened during a lap around the Fenland Trail today and it has greatly enriched my perspective on friendship and who we need in our lives. And rethinking the form. It aligns a lot with the principles in The Myth of Normal, which I’m reading right now, and Indigenous wisdom and other cultures who live in true community. I feel this a lot with the isolationism of parenting in the 21 century in a town very far from family. Lots of food for thought.
