Do you talk to your friends more now that you can text them at any time? There are a lot of ways in which technology has made communication easier but in this episode we talk about whether that convenience has really led to more frequent interactions and stronger friendships. We live in both a more connected and more isolated time, when we are less likely to know our neighbors but also more likely to see personal Facebook posts from middle school friends we haven't spoken with in decades. Should we aspire to a world where we can just drop into our friends' houses unannounced?
We talk about all this and more with Simone Miles, the podcast host of Nice to Meet You, a Washington DC-based podcast about meeting strangers.
