Nexit: Making Friends
Episode description
In Episode 40, we look at the art of making friends while cancelled. We live in a hyper-alienated time, when more people than ever before report having few or no close friends. On top of that, renewed puritanical impulses within the culture threaten to exile already-atomized people from what little community they have left. In such a context, how are we to create and nurture meaningful connections and break the isolation so poisonous to the human spirit?
Part of the Nexit series.
