About

Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship is a podcast about the friendships that shape our lives and sometimes confuse us. Host Nina Badzin talks honestly with writers, therapists, creatives, and real people about making friends as adults, losing them, repairing them, and letting them change. Nina is a thoughtful, warm, and refreshingly real voice in the podcast space. Each episode includes nuance, humor, and a direct approach to the hard stuff of friendship we don’t always say out loud. If you’ve ever wondered “Is this normal?” about a friendship, you’re in the right place.
