Conversations with Friends

When I asked Jesse why he thought to include both Sam and Isaiah in this episode (I've only ever recorded conversations between two people), he said, "It feels like a complete puzzle when we're all together." In this very special fr-odcast (frat podcast?), not one, not two, but THREE friends who met in a fraternity share the story of their friendship and their joint creative ventures. I had so much fun talking to Jesse, Sam, and Isaiah, who said that their friendship allows them to really be themselves and talk for hours about what they love knowing there are people who will listen. Thank you all for sharing your story with me <3 Check out CBW Media (Jesse/Sam/Isaiah's media company) here!: https://www.cbwmedia.netLINKS/INFO:Gaza Funds: https://gazafunds.comThe Sameer Project: https://linktr.ee/thesameerprojectDistrict 19 Mutual Aid: Instagram @19districtaidOther donations:Operation Olive Branch @operationolivebranch eSims for Gaza: https://gazaesims.com/Donate to mutual aid orgs in Sudan: @sunduqalsudanDo you and a friend want to be interviewed on Conversations with Friends?

An extra special episode of Conversations with Friends featuring my dear amazing friend Wendy and also me, your host. I loooooved having this conversation with Wendy because I always love talking to Wendy, and visiting her in California this weekend was a reminder of how precious our friendship has been to me over the years :) We are speaking at top speed so hold onto your hats. If I ever win the affections of Leela the cat I hope to have her on the pod as well.

"Hailey was so down to clown," Libbie said when I asked what drew them together. Hailey and Libbie met in middle school and bonded over their love of getting into trouble. "It's not like we were skipping class," she continued, and Hailey interjected—"We were. We were. That's a lie!" In a previous episode of Conversations with Friends, Salman remarked that all good friendships begin with a little bit of animosity. An addendum to that: all good friendships begin with a little bit of mischief. This one did, anyway. Thank you so much to Hailey and Libbie for sharing your story with me <3LINKS/INFO:Gaza Funds: https://gazafunds.comThe Sameer Project: https://linktr.ee/thesameerprojectOther donations:Operation Olive Branch @operationolivebranch eSims for Gaza: https://gazaesims.com/Donate to mutual aid orgs in Sudan: @sunduqalsudanDo you and a friend want to be interviewed on Conversations with Friends?

"There have never been two friends more ready to do this," Vennela said (tragically, before we started recording). I am inclined to agree—Ash and Vennela met while studying abroad in Florence and instantly recognized each others' power. In this conversation, they explain that they were drawn to one another because of their respective auras: Ash is blue, and Vennela is orange. Since their first meeting, they felt that they saw the world—and each other—in a uniquely beautiful way. "She makes me feel as though I'm very lovable," Ash said. I am so honored to share this conversation—thank you both so much for sharing your story with me <3LINKS/INFO:Gaza Funds: https://gazafunds.comThe Sameer Project: https://linktr.ee/thesameerprojectOther donations:Operation Olive Branch @operationolivebranch eSims for Gaza: https://gazaesims.com/Donate to mutual aid orgs in Sudan: @sunduqalsudanDo you and a friend want to be interviewed on Conversations with Friends?

EPISODE 18!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 WE ARE BACK!!!!! with Emily and Isabella <3 In this conversation, Emily and Isabella talk about the self-sacrifice that can be necessary in some friendships—but not in one like theirs. Emily and Isabella just want to help each other answer the question, "Where do you feel the most you?" A beautiful gift to give to a friend and one I was very lucky to witness <3 Thank you Emily and Isabella for sharing your story with me <3 LINKS/INFO:SPOTLIGHTED CAMPAIGN on Gaza Funds: https://gazafunds.comOther donations:Operation Olive Branch @operationolivebranch eSims for Gaza: https://gazaesims.com/Donate to mutual aid orgs in Sudan: @sunduqalsudanDo you and a friend want to be interviewed on Conversations with Friends?

EPISODE 17!!!! Featuring Shreya and Annie <3 This is a friendship marked by Textbook (Ashvini's Textbook^TM) kanipshon (a word I made up): a shared sense of being overcome with delight. To me, that is the hallmark of a friendship spark, and I feel truly blessed to have witnessed it in this conversation <3 Shreya and Annie share their many kanipshons, from finding out they were taking the train at the same time to hyper-specific Zillenial artwork. They also generously shared how they resolved conflict in their friendship, and how that resolution created a solid foundation of trust <3 Thank you so much Shreya and Annie for sharing your story with me, and I hope you all enjoy listening <3LINKS/INFO:https://linktr.ee/standwithsudanSPOTLIGHTED CAMPAIGN on Gaza Funds: https://gazafunds.comOther donations:Operation Olive Branch @operationolivebranch on insta has a master doc of fundraisers:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ 1vtMLLOzuc6GpkEySyVtKQOY2j-VvgOUsChMMCFst_WLA/ edit#gid=1653697245eSims for Gaza: https://gazaesims.com/.Links to donate/call your reps for Sudan: https://linktr.ee/ standwithsudanDo you and a friend want to be interviewed on Conversations with Friends?

EPISODE 16 <3 featuring one of the most iconic friendships of all time, Zoe’ and Nandini <3 It was truly an honor to talk to Zoe’ and Nandini for this episode and it actually felt impossible to capture the greatness of their friendship through this or any medium. Another random-roommates-turned-besties (turned long-distance besties!!!) arc, they make the trust and and commitment at the core of great friendships sound like the easiest, most natural, and most obvious thing in the world. A friendship like this really feels pre-ordained and it was an honor to hear their story <3 I hope you enjoy listening :)LINKS/INFO:https://linktr.ee/standwithsudanSPOTLIGHTED CAMPAIGN on Gaza Funds: https://gazafunds.comOther donations:Operation Olive Branch @operationolivebranch on insta has a master doc of fundraisers:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ 1vtMLLOzuc6GpkEySyVtKQOY2j-VvgOUsChMMCFst_WLA/ edit#gid=1653697245eSims for Gaza: https://gazaesims.com/.Links to donate/call your reps for Sudan: https://linktr.ee/ standwithsudanDo you and a friend want to be interviewed on Conversations with Friends?

EPISODE 15 <3 thank you thank you thank you to Jess and Jena, randomly-assigned roommates turned best friends who graced me with the story of their beautiful friendship (and vital information about the Poop Map app). In this episode, you’ll hear Jess and Jena talk about the slow burn of their friendship, which started with twerking at the Bed Bath & Beyond rave. They describe how living together for seven years has shaped their presence in each other’s lives, and how being seen by one another has completely transformed them. This conversation is so special and made me think of many of my greatest, most epic, and most humbling friendships. I’m so grateful I got to talk to Jess and Jena, and I hope you enjoy listening <3  LINKS/INFO: Call your reps: https://act.uscpr.org/a/callforgaza https://linktr.ee/standwithsudan SPOTLIGHTED CAMPAIGN on Gaza Funds: https://gazafunds.com Other donations: Operation Olive Branch @operationolivebranch on insta has a master doc of fundraisers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ 1vtMLLOzuc6GpkEySyVtKQOY2j-VvgOUsChMMCFst_WLA/ edit#gid=1653697245 eSims for Gaza: https://gazaesims.com/.

Welcome to Conversations with Friends, Special Edition: MOM <3 I’m incredibly grateful to have my mom on the podcast with one of her closest friends, Usha Auntie. I was really excited to have this conversation because I was curious about how friendships are formed and sustained in later adulthood and what it means to have your friends there with you through life’s most challenging moments.

AT LONG LAST WELCOME BACK <3 <3 <3 Back And Better Than Ever. This begins season 2 of Conversations with Friends <3 In this episode, I got to talk to Salman and Darren about their friendship, which has spanned decades and continents. Their friendship also exemplifies one of my favorite not-so-conspiracy theories—that really great friendships often come down to a decision to show each other grace, acceptance, and commitment, no matter the obstacles. Salman said that he hopes in this episode he and Darren come across as "really interesting and thoughtful humans....just great people to be around." You don't have to take my word for it, but I can attest that this is true <3 LINKS/INFO: 1. Call your reps: https://act.uscpr.org/a/callforgaza https://linktr.ee/standwithsudan 2.

Episode 11 <3 I really really really love this one. In this conversation, I got to talk to Kiran and Nivedina about their unique correspondence-based friendship: a friendship forged by writing letters to each other for the past six years. I loved talking about the faith that is required for a friendship like this: faith in the USPS, faith that the other person will respond, and faith that a friendship this strong can be sustained almost entirely through writing. When you listen to this conversation, you'll see how clearly that faith has paid off. I loved talking with Kiran and Nivedina, and I hope you enjoy listening—and get inspired to start a correspondence-based friendship of your own <3 This brings me to the end of what I'm calling Season 1 of Conversations with Friends! I'll be taking a couple weeks off to record anew (lol so not a huge departure from my normal schedule, this time I'm just announcing it)—if you want to be on the pod, don't be shy, let me know!

IT’S EPISODE TEN <3 <3 <3 I can’t think of a better way to ring in the tenth installment of Conversations with Friends than this conversation with Anushkaa and Darshana. It’s an episode about taking risks and second chances; setbacks and perseverance; true friendship love <3 Anushkaa and Darshana value friendship so strongly, and I so admire the way that they have worked to sustain their friendship since the day they met.

IT'S EPISODE 9!!!!!! Welcome back <3 In this episode, I got to talk to Clare and ~Paris~ Julia, not to be confused with ~New York~ Julia from prior eps. Clare is one of my best friends, but this was actually my first time (virtually) meeting Julia and it reiterated to me that the friend of a friend is your friend <3 Clare and Julia are self-proclaimed chatters and it shows—it was such a joy to hear them talk about their friendship, the youngest one I have featured on the pod. I've talked a lot about the constant dialogues we have with our loved ones, and this friendship is no exception, even though they only met last fall: how special is it to have a friend that so quickly becomes a voice inside your head? "Companionship out the wazoo," as Julia described it. I loved having this conversation, and I hope y'all enjoy listening <3 LINKS/INFO: 1. Call your reps: https://act.uscpr.org/a/callforgaza 2.

EPISODE 8!!!!! I loved talking to Shiv and Amber for this episode <3 I knew I wanted to have them on after witnessing one too many ~kanipshons~ (listen to previous episodes if you don't know what I'm talking about lol): moments where I saw a magical connection between them, where they seemed so in sync and part of the same brain. Shiv and Amber also dropped some serious ~friendship scholarship~ in this episode: they talk about the unwavering trust they have in each other and the ways they intentionally make time for one another. It was so beautiful to hear them describe how strongly they believe in their friendship, and I'm so excited for y'all to listen <3 LINKS/INFO: 1.

I am truly so grateful that I got to have this conversation with Justine and Odmaa <3 In this episode, we talk about the romance at the heart of a good friendship; the love that comes from undeniable compatibility.

WE ARE BACK WITH EPISODE 6!!! Back.....and better than ever. I'm so excited that I got to interview two of my best friends, Lexi and Julia, for this episode. Lexi, Julia, and I were all in the same house/dorm in college, and this episode was a lovely trip down memory lane <3 One of the most special things about Lexi and Julia's friendship is how different they are as people. I loved hearing them talk about what drew them together at first, and what keeps them close now.

WELCOME TO EPISODE 5!!!! I loved talking to Renee and Sarah for this episode <3 In this conversation, Renee and Sarah talk about how they met and what their friendship means to them. I think that we are in constant conversation with our loved ones, even when they're not there. The internal dialogue of friendship is so powerful: the way we care what our friends think, the way we get excited to share our version of the world with our friends, and the way a good friend can feel like a constituent element of your brain. Renee and Sarah's friendship captures this beautifully, and it was such a pleasure to talk to them for this episode <3 thank you for sharing your story with me!

Welcome to episode FOUR of Conversations with Friends! Two friendship scholars that I really admire, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman, define "Big Friendship" as "a strong, significant bond that transcends life phases, geographical locations, and emotional shifts." They argue that friendships can be some of the most transformative and influential relationships on our lives, equal to if not greater than familial and romantic partnerships. Manu and Anushkaa were two of the friends I first thought of when thinking of guests I wanted to have on this podcast for this reason: their friendship not only shapes who they are as individuals, but it also functions as a powerful force that impacts the lives of anyone who meets them. They were incredibly generous and vulnerable in this conversation—thank you both for sharing the story of your friendship with me <3 This is also the most ~emotional~ episode of Conversations with Friends to date (read: Manu cries the entire time).

Welcome back for episode THREE of Conversations with Friends! This week, I had the pleasure of talking with Sid and Amit about their friendship, which began almost two decades ago. In this episode, Sid and Amit provide multiple musical interludes, debate the merits of a "spark," and genuinely gas each other up for the entire hour. It was a joy to hear them talk about what friendship means to them, and I'm excited to be able to share this conversation with you <3. Thank you again to Sid and Amit!

EPISODE 2! Holy cow! In this episode, you'll hear Anne and Madison talk about their friendship. I think all friendships begin with a sort of magic spark. There's a word I use (made up) to describe this spark: "kanipshon" (how I thought "conniption" was spelled......and what I thought "conniption" meant........). "Kanipshon" is the almost supernatural force between friends that brings you together and can change who you are. I see it so clearly in Anne and Madison's friendship, and I'm so excited for you to hear from them in this episode—thank you Anne and Madison for sharing the story of your friendship with me. <3 LINKS/INFO: Public Toolkit Doc "STOP GAZA GENOCIDE": https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hpHkM9KlH5Yn3xq7nk9xfPtIkWZDblWnCKD8xt5DBx0/edit Call your reps: https://act.uscpr.org/a/callforgaza Donate to help Palestinian families safely evacuate: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xzXMLU_pD6JcRXEXrTl2QoTgqrvTWwB7aAMDb7nYKqc/edit#gid=0 If you're in NYC, follow https://twitter.com/WOLPalestine for upcoming actions!
