Turns out, Canadians are spending less and less time with their friends and many don't have a friend group. What does it mean if we don't have a close friend group — and how can we approach making new friends? We'll explore that with Philip Howlett, a friendship researcher and lecturer at the University of Bath.

Karo and Matt discuss the “friend group fallacy” – the belief that a tight knit crew is preferable to and more common than strong one-on-one bonds. They unpack how sitcoms, social media, and comparison culture distort our expectations, and why a constellation of close individual friendships can be just as meaningful as any group text thread.

The new novel Clutch follows five women who have known each other since college as they navigate the challenges of midlife. Author Emily Nemens recently told NPR's Juana Summers that she wanted to tell this story through the group chat, which Nemens calls “the vernacular of now.” In today's episode, they also discuss negligence in relationships, the novel's head-on approach to abortion rights, and how writing Clutch impacted Nemens' own friendships.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
Ever notice how easy it is to curate a friend group that looks and thinks just like you? We're flipping that script. I share how a single question about my guest list sparked a full rethink of community, why Jesus' meals are the model for modern friendship, and how widening the table reshaped my heart more than any book, retreat, or productivity hack ever could.We unpack the shift from distant charity to real proximity—the kind that invites the widow, the single parent, the awkward talker, and the person with fewer resources into our actual routines. I talk candidly about the social cost of diversity, the temptation to protect “the vibe,” and the moment I realized people aren't projects; they're image-bearers worthy of attention, not just an invite. Expect practical language for humility, how to treat triggers as teachers, and simple ways to calm your nervous system so you can stay present without fixing, rescuing, or controlling.If you've been waiting for the perfect life-stage match before investing in friendship, it might be idealism keeping you lonely. Boundaries still matter, but love asks for a bigger table—one that looks less curated and more like the kingdom. You'll leave with grounded questions to audit your circle, steps to invite difference into your week, and fresh courage to trade comfort for connection.

But when an unexpected invitation arrives from Evie, the ruthless queen bee of their college clique, they have no choice but to reunite in Las Vegas for her lavish divorce party.Savannah, now a glamorous Vegas dancer, has spent years running from a past that refuses to stay buried. Daisy, a burned-out substitute teacher drowning in debt, is desperate for a second shot at the excitement she missed. Zoe, a respected paediatrician, has built a life of perfection. But perfection comes at a cost, and the cracks are starting to show.As the drinks flow and old resentments resurface, it becomes clear that Evie's invitation isn't just about celebrating her freedom.

In this episode, Jordana and Dr. Naomi Bernstein reflect on their recent Passover experiences and delve into the controversial topic of the telepathy tapes after many listeners wrote in with comments. The Overshare this week brings up the challenges of maintaining friendships as adults, particularly when it comes to feeling disconnected with them as we age. They explore the dynamics of friend groups from the perspective of then and now and discuss ways in which we can push to get what we want out of those relationships that seem the most tedious. This week's Betchisit continues the friendship theme when one listener asks how to address the elephant…erm… baby in the room that is causing distress in her circle of close pals. But anxieties with our friends aren't the only thing keeping us up at night so Dr. Naomi helps set an intention for a woman who sends in a voicemail about her guilt around buying things she doesn't need. Closing out the episode the hosts review some Triggered submissions around cancelled international weddings and the management of guests when you have a newborn baby.
