I just had a close friend over and the next time we were both available to hang out was in 2 MONTHS. Then I watch these TV shows, like Friends, New Girl, Adults, and How I Met Your Mother, where they're all hanging out with each other all the time. So I asked myself: can real life friendships be as good as the friendships portrayed on TV? I dove into these sitcoms and the science, and it turns out there are five very real steps we can all take to have sitcom-level friendships in our real adult lives (no matter where we live or how old we are). I came up with this action plan for a sitcom friend fall. Sitcom friend fall is a commitment we're all taking together to have truly fun, fulfilling, and deeper friendships in our lives this fall.

Podcast Movement 2026 Reflections + Lessons from Two People Who Run Podcast EventsI just got back from Podcast Movement, and a lot of you have been asking whether it was still worth going now that it's under new ownership, in a new location, with a whole new format. Short answer: I'm definitely going back.In this episode I walk through what changed, what I loved, what I'd tweak, and what Tom Webster's data says about where podcasting really stands. Then I sit down with two guys who have actually done it, Marc Ronick of Empowered Podcasting and Dr. Brad Miller of Pod Indy, to get the behind-the-scenes story of running a podcast event. If you've ever had that little voice in your head saying "maybe I should start my own meetup or conference," this one is for you.Podcast Movement 2026: Was It Worth It?I went down the list, old Podcast Movement versus new.The hotel and the cost. It used to be at Gaylord hotels, which run $1,000 a night, where the burgers are $30 apiece and you never leave the building. This year was BYOH: bring your own hotel. I stayed two nights at a Holiday Inn Express for $400 a night. Still pricey, but nowhere near the Gaylord. Tickets were also much cheaper because they weren't paying for that hotel arrangement. Point to the new Podcast Movement.The venue. Picture a small theater (think House of Blues) that had a baby with a cruise ship: three floors, and you can look down at the main stage from the top. The rooms were narrower, so the back row was farther from the stage than I was used to. I also learned I need new glasses, because the giant screen was split in two and I couldn't read the slides. Sessions ran with silent-disco-style headphones: turn the dial to yellow or green and you hear that stage. The strange part is that people talk while someone is presenting a few feet away. It went against everything in my body, but it works, and I could network the whole time. My one suggestion: turn on the house lights during networking breaks. When you have 40 minutes to meet people and can't see who's in the room, it's a problem (unless it's Rob Greenley, who is six foot six inches).Networking and the parties. PodPage hosted a small meetup, and I walked over to the Buzzsprout meetup too. Both were places where you could actually talk, with no blaring music. I've talked to Dan Franks, who helps plan Podcast Movement, and he says they tell every sponsor that people want to talk, not have their ears bleed. Nice to see it work.New York City. I'll miss Dallas and Chicago, but it's supposedly staying in New York to make it easier for international attendees. The food was a win, and I never felt unsafe walking around Hell's Kitchen. I ate at Cubbies and at McGee's, which I didn't realize until halfway through is tied to How I Met Your Mother.A smarter schedule. Monday and Tuesday were geared toward the business and advertising side, and Thursday and Friday were for indie podcasters. That means indie folks can save on the hotel bill.The talks are going online. They're putting the presentations on the Podcast Movement YouTube channel for free. I'm looking forward to catching the ones I missed, including Lou Mangiello and Rob Walch's talk about video.What I Learned from Tom WebsterIf you only see one talk at a conference, make it Tom Webster's. Here's what stuck with me:Podcasting has gone flat. It used to grow at least 3 to 5% a year, occasionally 7%. This past year it barely moved. It's still growing, but by a very small amount.Where people listen. In a survey of roughly 5,000 podcast consumers, the top three places were YouTube, Spotify, and Netflix. Not Apple, Pocket Casts, or Overcast.Where I disagree. YouTube and Spotify are open to anyone, so I get why people call them podcasts. Netflix isn't open. They have to choose you, and there's no RSS feed. For me, a podcast is an RSS feed with audio or video in it.Tom's Walmart analogy. Look at the CD section: a tiny collection of only the biggest hits (Back in Black, Rumors), nothing like a dedicated record store. His suggestion was that we should promote podcast-specific apps. My favorite is Pocket Casts: it plays audio and video, it has bookmarks (that's how I grab the clips I play on the show), and it has a web version.Podcast Standards Project: PodRoll Is ComingI sat in on my first Podcast Standards Project meeting. PodRoll, from the Podcasting 2.0 spec, is the modern version of a blogroll: a list of shows you personally recommend, living in your feed. Because feeds are public, anyone can see who's recommended most. That's human recommendations, not an algorithm you try to trick. Ask your media host if they support it (if not move ton one that does). The group is also looking at adding location, so you could find podcasts in your area.Video: Do You Have To?Some people insist you have to do video. Others said not only do you not have to, but the shows that added it didn't see much benefit beyond more work, cost, and time. In Apple's video spotlight, the shows featured were already big. I'm looking forward to Rob Walch's full presentation, because that's exactly the kind of "what's working and what's not" you go to a conference to learn.Small Events vs. Big OnesPodcast Movement had probably over 1,000 people. Empowered Podcasting had a little over 100 (about 150 this year), and Pod Indy will land somewhere between 50 and 100. Podfest usually draws a couple thousand. My favorite kind of event is single-track: everyone hears the same content, so when you step into the hallway you all have something to talk about.Interview: Running a Podcast Event with Marc Ronick and Dr. Brad MillerWhy they started. Brad spent 43 years as a pastor and was a Christian concert promoter, so he'd seen the power of live events. After connecting with his local podcasting group in Indianapolis, he launched Pod Indy in 2023 (I keynoted the first one), and the fourth is coming up. Mark had been podcasting as long as I have, and didn't step into a conference until about five years ago. He felt a little out of place at the big ones, so he built a place where he'd feel comfortable.Small is a feature. Mark went in wanting Empowered Podcasting to become the next Podcast Movement. After the first one (2024, under 100 people) he noticed magic in a smaller, more intimate room, where people were learning from each other outside the sessions. He'd cap it around 200. Brad goes deep on one track, one day.The biggest surprises:You can't do it alone. Mark thought he could run it almost by himself. He carried the financial and emotional load, burned out after year two, and nearly canceled three times. Jason and Rich stepped in to save it, and he made them business partners.Ticket sales come late. In Mark's second year, only about 20 tickets sold before the final month. Brad says two-thirds of tickets arrive in the last month. This year's sales were smoother for both, and both say credibility builds over time.Bring enough lead time. Brad's first event had only three months, and he bit off more than he could chew. He also lost money using a business center, so he moved it to his church, where he has a studio, and kept it to one day with no hotel block.Hotel blocks. If you don't fill the rooms, you pay anyway. Mark's went fine this year because speakers and a good share of attendees needed rooms.Money, honestly. Brad started by deciding what he could afford to lose (he did lose some the first year, and calls it an investment). Mark admits he wasn't careful with money in the first two years and took on some debt. Both credit their wives, Debbie and Amy, for keeping them grounded and for believing in the vision.Advice if you're thinking about it:Mark: Be okay with however many people show up. Start with a few who believe in your message. If they have a good experience, they come back and become your advocates.Brad: Build transformative relationships one on one, then a few together. Have coffee or lunch with someone, or start online, before deciding whether to do a formal event.Both: Virtual is great, but nothing replaces being around like-minded people in person.Choosing speakers. Mark's pet peeve is speaker submissions that are obviously written entirely by AI: "I love using AI, but that's a lazy move, and I don't know that I want a lazy speaker on one of my stages." (My favorite line on this: if you can't take the time to write it, produce it, or record it, why should I take the time to consume it?) Brad recruits speakers through personal relationships instead of an application process. Themes so far: podcasting as a business, AI, and this year taking your podcast (and your life) to the next level with keynote speaker Cliff Ravenscraft.Pod Indy: November 7, 2026When and where: November 7, 2026, in Whiteland, Indiana (suburban Indianapolis), 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.Tickets: $37 in person, $27 live stream.Discount: use code SOP for $5 off.On the lineup: Cliff Ravenscraft (keynote), John Lee Dumas (video), Craig on AI, and me.My TakeawayIf you try to start with 1,000 people, you'll burn...

Hej Somna, nu har vi väl det trevligt här. Jag har dukat upp en picknickduk. När Harriet var liten köpte jag en picknickfilt och tänkte att vi skulle sitta i olika parker, att det skulle vara fridfullt och stillsamt och att jag skulle kunna läsa. Harriet ville inte stanna på filten. Hon ville krypa utanför den. Jag hann inte läsa. Tidigt trodde jag att det där med att vara pappa skulle vara stillsamt och harmoniskt. Den verkliga harmonin uppstod först när jag insåg att det aldrig blir som jag har tänkt mig. Jag bestämde mig för att jag hädanefter inte skulle bestämma någonting. Det skulle få bli som det blev. Det är som det är.Det tog tid innan jag förstod att ljuvligheten i det här inte alls är som en sovmorgon, eller som att dricka något när man är törstig, utan en mycket kärvare och svårare version som man långsamt växer in i. Det jag kom fram till är att jag är skyldig henne allt, men att hon inte är skyldig mig ett endaste litet dugg.Under pappaledigheten kollade jag på How I Met Your Mother medan Harriet sov på bröstet. Varje gång hon vaknade till stängde jag av och började prata och fråga om hon var okej, fast hon bara ville vända sig lite och somna om. Jag önskar att jag hade unnat mig en högre grad av skitsamma-attityd. Jag hade en känsla av att det var fel av mig att titta på en skärm när jag hade mitt barn där. Jag var så rädd för att vara en dålig pappa. Men att umgås är ju inte att stirra varandra i ögonen hela tiden. Harriet var en bebis. Hon behövde inget annat än mat och värme och närhet.Nu är hon 15 och kan vara helt i sin egen värld. Hon går förbi mig när jag sitter i soffan och tittar på tv, hon är i sitt eget flow, och jag får skuldkänslor över att jag sitter där och njuter. Är inte det att vara vuxen, att springa runt och oroa sig för att ens barn ska råka illa ut, eller för att man ska vara en dålig förälder? Det kanske inte spelar någon roll vad vi gör. Hon har blivit ännu en vuxen tänkande människa bland de andra i min värld, med drömmar och mål där jag inte alls är inblandad.Jag tänker tillbaka på min egen pappa och hur han var som pappa. Jag tänker på min farfar, som valde att lämna sitt barn. Det finns sidor i mig som liknar dem båda. På ett eller annat sätt är jag skyldig dem båda ett tack.Godnatt Somna.Mer från Somna med Henrik: https://somnamedhenrik.se/Mer om Henrik: https://www.henrikstahl.se/ Hosted on Acast.

En este episodio hablo sobre Adults, y la uso como excusa para repasar treinta años de hangout sitcoms (Friends, How I Met Your Mother, New Girl) y ver cómo se fue degradando el nivel de vida de sus personajes. Además comparo esa ficción con los datos reales de pluriempleo, alquileres y deuda juvenil en Argentina, y cierro pensando en cómo el género pasó de ser puro escapismo a animarse a contar lo que duele.Convertite en miembro para apoyarme:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9eGsyvbWKdVxMRKGm3Nm2g/joinO mandame un Cafecito: https://cafecito.app/interesesconectadosEscuchalo también enApple Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=1510038014Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5iT81E9UFGQ4ua03QhlgxKPodés seguirme en Twitter: https://twitter.com/interesesconectY mandar un mail a interesesconectados@gmail.comEn esta página dejo las fuentes que uso en cada episodio: https://www.interesesconectados.com.ar/fuentes

After that unhinged Wicker trailer sent the whole internet into a spin, we're deep diving the fictional characters we were never supposed to find attractive… and yet. We're talking a gruff saber-tooth tiger with a heart of gold, the Marvel villain whose fan fiction was so unhinged it earned him a spinoff, and the wettest of wet-blanket sitcom romantics who somehow ages into a green flag. Plus the Twilight nobody we should've been rooting for the whole time, a brooding Finding Nemo fish the internet has turned into a full-blown daddy, and the Bear character with the most beautiful arc on TV.

Today, Fr. Richard Rohr unpacks the Enneagram Type Three, which is often referred to as “the achiever.” We live, as Fr. Richard puts it, in “a Type Three culture” — a culture obsessed with image, achievement, and approval. Threes often learn as children that love is earned through performance rather than given freely. Over time, this can lead to an over-identification with the presentable self, at the expense of deeper authenticity. Today we're also joined by actor, director, and musician Josh Radnor, who is best known for starring on the sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Josh discusses the multi-faceted nature of professional success and the complexity of finally reaching the "top of the ladder" — only to find it leaning against the wrong wall. Today's episode poses a moving question for us all: Can we be loved for who we are, not what we accomplish? Find the transcript for today's episode here.

Sign up for monthly reflections, practices, and resources that connect contemplative wisdom with your daily life: https://cac.org/belongs2026/ Take a Deeper Dive into Type Three Threes are at the center of the heart triad. They are driven by how they are perceived as well as a need to succeed — and to an outsider looking on, they often do appear very successful. However, their success is often driven by their core wounds. “Through my competence and overproduction, can I prove my worth?” is a central question for Enneagram Threes. Authentic and redeemed Threes can spread truth and grace in a way that is professional and efficient. Their wound can become their gift.

We were given the assignment from a listener who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer to watch The Big Lonely (2014). It's a documentary of Michael Nelms lives in isolation with his dog in the remote Oregon wilderness.

His list of the greatest spans a mix of comedies and dramas, while shows like How I Met Your Mother, Seinfeld, and Game of Thrones are widely considered by fans to have the worst finales.

Fans of 2000s sitcom How I Met Your Mother can no doubt remember how the main character Ted Mosby is a hopeless romantic, and spends the duration of the series searching for his soulmate. But only the most hardcore of fans will remember the very first episode of the Hulu series, when Ted introduces something called the olive theory when talking about relationships.

Tim spent the afternoon at the Hayden Orpheum watching the Billie Eilish documentary in 3D with his daughter and came in genuinely moved. Watching his daughter watch Billie on screen the same way he watched her watch the live show last year confirmed everything: Billie Eilish is exactly the kind of role model you want for your kid. No pressure to look a certain way, no performance of sexiness, just an unapologetic songwriter who wants to be the artist she'd want to be a fan of. Listeners call in with their own role model stories and one mum of a 14 year old has to break the news that her son's idol is Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother. We wish her well.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 199: Carter Bays and Craig Thomas Interview Part Two This is the After Show for Gimme Five, featuring part two of Andrew's conversation with Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, creators of How I Met Your Mother. The discussion digs into the real-life inspiration behind Gimme Five, a project shaped as much by nostalgia as it is by firsthand experience. Carter and Craig reflect on the writers' rooms that shaped the pilot, and the kind of shared comedy culture that gets handed down over time, something that now feels increasingly rare. The conversation is loose, funny, and occasionally thoughtful, touching on collaboration, process, and what makes a great room work.

Episode 198: Gimme Five by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas This month's second dead pilot from Carter Bays and Craig Thomas is Gimme Five. Best known as the co-creators and longtime showrunners of How I Met Your Mother, Carter and Craig previously wrote for The Late Show with David Letterman and produced American Dad. They co-wrote this pilot with legendary writer Peter Tolan, whose credits include The Larry Sanders Show, Rescue Me, Analyze This, Analyze That, and many more. Here's the log line. It's 1985, and Gimme Five is the number two family sitcom in America. But behind the scenes of this feel-good show is a dysfunctional workplace family on the verge of self-destruction. Showrunner Cliff McConnell must somehow keep it together and keep being funny in the midst of his newborn son's health crisis. Sharp, outrageous, and wildly funny, Gimme Five gives a behind-the-scenes look at comedy writing that feels both absurd and strangely authentic. It may also be one of the funniest pilots ever featured on the podcast. Major content Warning, definitely think twice about listening to this one with small children in the room. You may hear something that offends you early on in this pilot, but please stick with it. Stay tuned for part two of Andrew's Interview with Carter and Craig, in your feed April 30th. Our cast for the show includes Taran Killam (SNL, High Potential, Stumble), Chris Diamantopoulos (Beavis and Butthead, Silicon Valley), Scott Foley (Scandal, Scream 7), Dallas Goldtooth (Reservation Dogs), Tami Sagher (Inside Amy Schumer), Chris DiStefano (stand up), James Urbaniak (Venture Brothers), Isabella Gomez (One Day at a Time, Shrinking), Cyrina Fiallo (High Potential, 911 Lonestar), Alyssa Limperis (What We Do In the Shadows), Burl Moseley (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) Dead Pilots Society is supported by MaxFun members contributing $5 a month or more, and this is the time of year to say thanks and invite new listeners to join.

This story is one from our archives, by Paul La Farge. Pay attention because the author delivers lots of little hints about what is happening behind the scenes—to the protagonist, and the peripheral characters, too. But it isn't clear until the very last moments of the story exactly what kind of a story we've been listening to. La Farge is the author of novels including Luminous Airplanes and The Night Ocean. He unfortunately died in 2023 when he was still in his early 50s; and while we never had the chance to host him on the show, he had a lot of friends in the literary world. Reading the story is actor and musician Josh Radnor. Radnor is best known for the series How I Met Your Mother, but he's always busy; recent credits include Fleishman Is in Trouble and Hunters. Aparna Nancherla hosts this episode. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
