I recorded a podcast!

My first! And now it’s here.

I’ve invited my friend Rob to talk about friends, curmudgeons, how people who leave events early are heroes, and knockabout friends. Stick around as we stumble upon some surprisingly successful metaphors.

Questions include:

  • What is your definition of friendship?
  • What’s does friendship feel like?
  • What quality do you value most in friendship?
  • What is the most important quality of you provide as a friend? I.e., What’s your flavor of friendship?
  • What does your friendship portfolio look like? E.g., acquaintances vs. good friends?
  • What happens when you take on characteristics of others to make friends?
  • What do you do when you feel lonely?
  • What are your strategies to make friends?
  • What is something you are proud of regarding friendship?

This is something I am doing on a dare to myself. So, to remove any impediments to posting, and to circumvent perfectionist tendencies, I am posting this as recorded, without editing (for now). Apologies for the audio quality and the fact that I had a frog in my throat half the time.
