About this listen

Host Ezra Wade examines the Friendship Recession—how America dismantled social infrastructure that generated connection. From declining third places like bowling leagues to car-dependent suburbs, social media, remote work isolation, and busyness, we've engineered loneliness into modern life. Wade explores why friendship requires proximity, repetition, and unscripted interaction—and what we lost when efficiency replaced community.
