Podcast on Wheels - Show 008 [Clean] - Finding Good Friends

In this lively and heartfelt episode of Podcast On Wheels, host Johanna Calderon brings listeners into the vibrant world of her close-knit friend group - a community that unexpectedly formed on TikTok. Johanna introduces her friends Leticia (“Queen Nation”), Carmen, and Jules, each of whom reflects on the humorous, chaotic, and deeply supportive journey that brought them together.

The conversation explores how difficult it can be to make friends, especially while navigating disability, and how online spaces can unexpectedly create family. The group shares candid stories about trust issues, first impressions, inside jokes, paranormal videos, late-night chats, arguments, and countless moments of laughter. They reflect on holidays, relationships, and their unfiltered dynamic: teasing, storytelling, and the kind of honesty that only true friendship allows.

Whether they’re recounting TikTok mishaps, discussing food cravings, roasting each other’s habits, or admitting how they’ve helped each other through tough moments, the episode highlights the genuine sisterhood they’ve built. Through emotional support, humor, and shared chaos, Johanna and her friends remind listeners that real connection can bloom in the most unexpected places.

A funny, raw, and uplifting celebration of friendship, disability pride, and the online communities that change our lives.
