Description

Do you enjoy listening to podcasts, but don’t have anyone to discuss them with?  Do you like the idea of a book club, but can’t commit to finishing the book each month?  Join the University Branch Podcast Club to engage in conversation about podcasts on a variety of topics.  Each month we’ll have a topic and a short list of podcast episodes to listen to.  At the meeting we will discuss those episodes and the themes within them.

The topic for February’s meeting is Friendship.  We’ll be discussing the following podcast episodes:

  • “Make New Friends (And Keep Them)”, from the Life Kit from NPR podcast, 24 m
  • “When Friendship Changes, How To Cope”, from the Life Kit from NPR podcast, 22 m
  • “The Science of BFFs”, from the Stuff Mom Never Told You podcast, 1 h
  •  “When the World is Exploding Around You”, from the StoryCorps podcast, 10 m

You can find all of these podcast episodes here: February Playlist: Friendship
