Episodes
S1E13 - Meet Kayte: A Best Friend That Has a List of Reasons Why We Shouldn't Be Friends
In this episode, we meet Lisa’s friend Kayte – a deep and instant friendship forged by the love of Drumbeat Red and marked by initial assumptions, spontaneous (and borderline irrational) decisions, weaponized karaoke and why we are all much more confused than we are convinced.Although Kayte keeps a list of reasons why they shouldn’t be friends, sometimes a friendship that doesn’t appear to work on
S1E12 - Erin & Lisa: Celebrity BFF's
In this week's episode, Lisa and Erin discuss their celebrity "BFFs" and, along with our community's feedback, compile an enviable guest list to a party that...could happen? There is no way to know.A special shout out to our friend Starr, who suggested Jennifer Garner as her potential celebrity BFF and we....forgot! Welcome to middle age. Excellent suggestion, as our fake party is going to be potl
S1E11 - Meet CC: The Real Boss
This week, we meet CC - aka Carolina, that's with an "EEEna" at the end - Erin and Greg's friend who hails all the way from Generation Z. She defies characterization and will frankly require you to listen to the episode! We discuss the dynamics of work, position, age and gender in the context of friendship. CC finds the fun and laughter in life, but also sees BS with a clarity that makes us proud.
S1E10 - Meet Greg: From Friend Zone to End Zone
In this week’s Gregisode, we meet Greg. Well, more specifically, you meet Greg, because we both already know and love him. We learn how Greg and Erin met at the beginning of medical school, became friends, then eventually “more” as the insanity of their combined experience became funnier to them and stranger to those around them. As their friend Igor said when they started dating, “weird and we
S1E9 - Meet Mark: Best Friend Turned Brother
In Episode 9 we meet Mark – Lisa’s best friend from high school that turned into a brother. They discuss the hilarious social hierarchy of their very small school, the validity of platonic male/female friendships, how his amazing parents welcomed Lisa into their family and how a 25-year gap in their friendship did nothing to destroy their incredible bond.Pro tip – Watch this episode for some AMAZI
S1E8 - Erin & Lisa: The Business of Movies
In the 8th episode, Erin and Lisa have their first official “business” meeting – and segue into talking about things they have no business talking about – movies about friendship. Cause the thing is – they are both basically movie illiterates. Yeah, this episode is a real doozy!Editor’s Note – Shawshank Redemption came out in 1994 and at its core, is deeply about the friendship between Andy and Re
S1E7 - Meet Paul: A Real Pop of Color
In Episode 7, we meet Lisa’s longtime friend, Paul – a former radio industry colleague turned BFF for life. Join us as we reminisce about records Lisa wouldn’t add into rotation, the ingrown toenail incident, Paul’s need for a pop of color and his never-ending obsession with The Strokes. And perhaps it will inspire you to reach out to the friend that has been a real pop of color in your life!Shout
S1E6 - Meet Alexis: Shoots, Ladders and the Game of Life
In this week’s episode, we meet Alexis, Erin’s friend (for over 40 years) and an ally to all canines (for life). In addition to a lesson on animal taxonomy from Lisa, we share lots of laughs, memories, and the silver linings of a life filled with wins, losses and abundant love. If you are willing and able to hold on for the ride, lifelong friendships steadily become the foundation for all of your
S1E5 - Meet Todd: Re Todd
In this episode, we talk with Todd - a dermatopathologist, husband, father, friend, ally and Erin’s former business partner. For about 15 years, Todd and Erin voluntarily imprisoned themselves in a laboratory diagnosing patients with skin cancers and other cutaneous disorders, a fact that has undoubtedly contributed to their friendship, cumulative weirdness and general predilection for silliness.
S1E3 - Erin & Lisa: Go Deep or Go Home
Erin & Lisa play the game, "Let's Get Deep" and pick three cards to ask each other...one Icebreaker, one Deep and one Deeper card. Needless to say...it gets pretty depthy.

S1E2 - Meet Janelle: Another Girl Erin Picked Up In a Bar
In this episode, we meet Janelle - a fellow ginger Erin met at a bar on Block Island. We fact checked the stats and less than 2% of the world's population has natural red hair, making it the rarest hair color in the world - so the chances of these two beauties meeting on a small island off the coast of Rhode Island we have inaccurately calculated to be a bazillion to one.

S1E1 - Meet Erin & Lisa
This MEGASODE is four stories in one - how we met, our trip to Iceland, why Mookie Betts is on the wall and why we wear tracksuits. It’s our friendship love story from 2004 to today and we hope you find it as ridiculous as we do. Let’s suit up, sit down and celebrate the gift of friendship together. www.theartofmakingfriends.com
S1E4 - Meet Sarah: The Oprah of Indiana
In this episode, we meet Sarah - the first Suit Recruit for Lisa and also a best friend (and former sister-in-law!) who brings people together at a place casually referred to as "the Lake" where both shenanigans and magical moments happen - and pictures of boobs go horribly awry.www.theartofmakingfriends.comWant the tracksuit?https://amzn.to/4crdvDdWe are an Amazon Affiliate and may make a small c
