Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship
Nina BadzinDear Nina: Conversations About Friendship is a top 1% podcast for anyone who has ever overthought a text from a friend, wondered who’s supposed to reach out first, or quietly questioned whether a friendship is totally fine—or fading away. Hosted by writer Nina Badzin, the show dives into the deeply important and sometimes most confusing relationships of our lives: our friendships.
Each episode of Dear Nina explores the questions adults don’t always say out loud: How do you turn an acquaintance into a real friend? What happens when the effort feels uneven? Why do some friendships grow stronger while others fall apart? Can you stay friends when your kids used to be friends and now hate each other? Friendship is tricky—even for grownups.
Nina has been writing about adult friendship for over a decade, with work featured in NPR, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Time, and more. Drawing from listener letters, real-life dilemmas, and thoughtful guests, the show offers practical insight without pretending there are easy answers. These are conversations, not lectures.
Warm, honest, and relatable in the best way, Dear Nina is for anyone who wants better friendships—and reassurance that they’re not alone while figuring it out.
