Hi, I’m Nina Badzin, host of the podcast Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship and a Minneapolis-based writer with many credits on a variety of topics in magazines, websites, and anthologies. I’ve been writing specifically about friendship since 2014.
Even after a decade of writing about adult friendships and answering anonymous questions from readers and listeners, I always have something new to say on the topic. Friendship is an endless, timeless, fascinating relationship to examine, and the more anonymous letters I receive and consider, the more I personally learn, too.
The podcast, which I started in 2021, has been referenced in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Time Magazine, The Guardian, The Telegraph UK, The Chicago Tribune, Woman’s Day Magazine, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, AARP, Next Avenue, and elsewhere. I always love hearing from readers and listeners. My work on friendship is meant to be a conversation between us and between you and your friends. I hope you will share your thoughts with me and with each other.
Need help with your podcast? I do that too! Look here for more details.
