Are you lonely?
from The Worried Well Hosted by The Worried Well, ariana, and Susana Mejia
Was Adam (of Adam and Eve fame) patient zero in the male loneliness epidemic? In this episode, the ladies chat about social isolation and welcome their first guest, Producer Paul, to introduce some y-chromies and testosterone into the mix. We focus on the medicalization of loneliness, friend tech, and other budding business solutions to commodify connection. Your loss is their [capital] gain.
