Alone - The Friendship Recession - Alone

What this episode covers

Host Ezra Wade examines the Friendship Recession—how America dismantled social infrastructure that generated connection. From declining third places like bowling leagues to car-dependent suburbs, social media, remote work isolation, and busyness, we've engineered loneliness into modern life. Wade explores why friendship requires proximity, repetition, and unscripted interaction—and what we lost when efficiency replaced community. Loved this episode?

Most of the time his questions and solutions were as unprecedented as they were effective. While Dr. Revici was primarily focused on cancer, Dr. A’s research and therapeutics to prevent and treat all chronic and degenerative disease can transform 21st century medicine.
