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 Jun 8, 2026 00:37:30 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 May 25, 2026 00:52:46 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 May 11, 2026 01:00:21 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 Apr 27, 2026 00:50:22 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 Apr 14, 2026 00:44:43 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 Apr 14, 2026 00:59:30 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 Apr 14, 2026 02:37:10 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
