Episode notes

My father is a prominent community organizer and has helped hundreds of Bangladeshi migrants come to the States. My father's best friend broke his heart. And my father told me then, friends are only this. It's family that's the most important. Your friends are great, but you never know when they might stab you. So what some people do is to have rituals every two months we take a weekend of what are the kind of things you enjoy doing when you're in.

Today, we’re sharing an episode of Where Should We Begin?, a Vox Media podcast hosted by the iconic psychotherapist Esther Perel. Listen in as real people in search of insight bare the raw, intimate, and profound details of their stories.

In this episode, a Where Should We Begin first, Esther sits down with two friends. They’ve been close for so long they feel like brothers, with all of the baggage that comes with family but none of the certainty. There are things that go unspoken between them, issues they have skimmed over in their two decades of friendship. Esther creates the space for the conversation they didn't know quite where to begin. This session was recorded in collaboration with NPR's Invisibilia and a sibling episode with Esther can be heard on their podcast.

Kara & Nayeema will be back Thursday with a fresh episode of ON.
