Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship is THE podcast for nuanced advice about managing the ups and downs of friendship. As seen in NPR, The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The Guardian, Time Magazine, and elsewhere, listeners appreciate Nina’s practical take on friendship issues.

Are you the friend who ALWAYS reaches out first? Or is your friend more invested in the friendship than you are? How do you take a casual friendship to the next level? What if your friend’s kid is being terrible to your kid? These questions come up no matter your age and background. Friendship is tricky, even for grownups.

Since 2014, Nina Badzin has been fostering discussions about the nitty gritty of adult friendships with sensitivity and practicality in her friendship advice column. Friendship is an endless, timeless, fascinating topic, and the more anonymous letters Nina receives, the more she learns about being a better friend and having better friends.

Nina loves hearing from readers and listeners. Her work on friendship is meant to be a conversation, and she hopes you will share your thoughts with her and with each other.
