Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow, Ann Friedman

2.0

I had higher hopes for this. I found the 'voice' of the narrator pretty annoying and childish, and many of the discussions I would have liked to hear more about were simplified, like about race, and they just spent a lot of time promoting their 'brand' of simply being supportive human beings towards their friends and acquaintances, called 'shine theory'. Maybe podcast listeners would have found it more compelling but as someone who was interested in the topic of long-term, long-distance friendships, I was disappointed.
