This is Sarah Stewart-Holland.

This is Beth Silvers.

You're listening to Pantsu Politics,

where we take a different approach to the news.

Thank you so much for joining us today and in this new year.

Happy New Year to everyone.

We are wrapping up our holiday break as a team, but we are thrilled to be bringing you this

brand new conversation with Anna Goldberg of the New York Times.

Anna writes about friendship for the Times, Anne has written a new book called Modern Friendship,

and we absolutely loved

this conversation with her. As we start this new year, it's a particularly apt and appropriate

time to be thinking about friendship, something I think many, many of us will be prioritizing

in 2025. And so we wanted to have Anna on to talk about how we can be intentional about

cultivating community now and throughout this new year.

So without further ado, Anna Goldfarb.

Do your 2025 resolutions include some more travel?

If you're heading abroad, you might not even be considering learning the local language.

But with Babel, you only need a few minutes to learn, and you should put it on your list.

This year, speak like a whole new you with Babel, the language learning app that gets you talking.

Babel's quick 10-minute lessons, handcrafted by over 200 language experts, gets you started on a new language in only three weeks.

Though you can adjust the pace at which you learn.
