I was a guest on NPR’s Life Kit podcast and it was SO EXCITING to be interviewed by Marielle Segarra, a host I’ve long admired. We talked about maintaining old friendships—the why and the how of it all.
Here’s how NPR’s Life Kit summarized the episode:
“Nina Badzin, host of the podcast Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship, has spent a lot of time thinking about the richness that old friends add to our lives. In our lows and in our highs, our old friends can remind us of who we are. But time can also do a number on those relationships. So on this episode of Life Kit: how to maintain your longstanding friendships.”
