This podcast, from Connecticut Public Radio’s weekly show Disrupted, looks at friendships that challenge norms. While friends seem ubiquitous in our culture, they aren't often prioritized in the same way as romantic partners, as Rhaina Cohen discusses in 'The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center.' Then, turning to the idea of having friends from different generations, Disrupted talks with two Quinnipiac University students who live at Ashlar Village, a retirement community. Finally, Eunice Lin Nichols, Co-CEO of CoGenerate, explains the value of intergenerational connections and how they can help in a polarized society.
