Summary

Liz and Sarah talk to the fabulous podcast hosts, Kristen Meinzer and Jolenta Greenberg, about the new season of How To Be Fine, which dives into the loneliness epidemic and the sometimes fraught nature of friendship. What advice to they have for making friends as an adult? Do they ascribe to the idea of having a friend for “a reason, a season, or a lifetime?” In The Mailroom, Liz and Sarah answer a question about how to stay excited about material that may be put out into the world months (or even years) after you’re done working on it. This week’s Hollywood Hack comes from friend of the pod, TV writer Bill Krebs: keep a folder of encouraging words to look at when you’re feeling down. Finally, Sarah has a summer reading recommendation — The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman.
