ADULT FRIENDS

Adult Friends is a show exploring ways in which people make and keep friends after the safety net of a school structure has gone away. Modern adult life involves prioritizing certain things, such as marriage, children, careers, and jet-setting across the world. These are all important considerations as we hurdle towards the grave; however, in my opinion, adult friendship gets under-valued, and I'd like to hear some stories about it.

Michael Murphy and Peter Nagell 05/30/2018

Michael Murphy and Peter Nagell When I had the idea to start this podcast, I tricked Michael and Peter into recording a conversation in my living room after a night of playing music and drinking beer. This late February evening was the night I captured Michael playing a descending line on the trumpet and synthesizer, simultaneously. It was so amazing, I knew I wanted to use it for the theme. I've used that line in C Major / A Minor as a guide for the rest of the music in each episode. /episode/index/show/adultfriends/id/6649744

Troy Zimmerman 05/09/2018

Troy Zimmerman At long last, Troy provides his rebuttal to John and Jacob, which sort of includes the Craig Finn game. We discuss ShowX, which occurs every Monday night at Huge Theater (hint: you should go). As always, I will overuse the words "capacity" and "bastion" for some reason. Note: There will be a two-week break for the podcast. The next new episode will likely be released on May 30th. /episode/index/show/adultfriends/id/6574004

Jill Galles 05/02/2018
