Homo Sapiens

Have you ever fallen out of love with a friend? Is it acceptable to end a friendship by text? Today we are joined by Elizabeth Day, host of the brilliant How To Fail podcast for the ultimate podcast extravaganza. We talk all about queerness and failure, as well as Elizabeth's new book Friendaholic. Friendaholic is a much needed handbook on friendships- how to navigate them as a conflict avoidant, how to set expectations and how to survive a friendship ghosting!📍 Homo Sapiens Spotify Playlist📍H O M O S A P I E N S P O D C A S T📍NEW EPISODE Every Thursday📍Come play with us on socials Facebook & Instagram @Homosapiens📍Email us: Hello@homosapienspodcast.com📍Podcast Host: Acast Hosted on Acast.
