Making New Friends After 50: with The Pop Culture Preservations Society, Ep 26

We’re discussing emails from listeners and readers in their 50s and beyond who feel stuck in a rut with their friendships. These are questions from people who feel they want to make new friends, but worry it’s too late, too hard, too intimidating, and they just don’t know where to start. 

I believe it's never too late to make new friends, which is why I invited Carolyn Cochrane, Kristin Nilsen, and Michelle Newman of the Pop Culture Preservation Society Podcast to tell us how they become good friends in the last handful of years, what these new friendships have meant to them in a new stage of life, and what advice they have for others who want to bring new people into their orbits.

The Pop Culture Preservation Society is a podcast dedicated to preserving the pop-culture nuggets of our GenX childhoods. Carolyn, Kristin, and Michelle do deep dives into topics such as Barry Manilow, Tiger Beat, The Blue Lagoon, Love Boat, Solid Gold, Saturday Night Fever, and more. But this passion project began with new friendships. 

Find the Pop Culture Preservation Society Podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts! They're on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter too! AND, they have a new, super fun Facebook group called Growing Up Gen-X.
