I Need Friends: A Podcast About Whatever. Sometimes serious, sometimes...not. I enjoy talking about all kinds of different things so topics will vary with each episode. Maybe you'll laugh, maybe you'll cry, perhaps you'll be infuriated. That's a risk you'll have to take, buddy. But with most episodes only around 30 minutes long, what's stopping you from having a listen? You think you'll like one of these other podcasts better? Unlikely. You gonna go hang out with people in real life? Mistake. All the friendship you need is waiting here for you.
