À propos de ce contenu audio

In November 2022, Lilly had an idea that she couldn’t un-have. In February 2023, she put up 400 flyers around New York City asking strangers to apply to be her friend.

The flyers said “Do you want to make a new friend?” and directed people to a website with a questionnaire. Seventy people filled it out. Lilly interviewed 24 of them.

      Lilly records from bed to share what happened after releasing the podcast. Her 93-year-old grandpa refuses the friend project t-shirt because he needs to keep certain people at the veteran's home at a distance, her uncle won't even wear it to sleep, and a family miscommunication spiral ensues. Plus, the New York Times features her flyers but doesn't bring more listeners (just cosmic validation), Lilly realizes the flyers and podcast are an ouroboros of connection, and she announces a new monthly call-in show where you can confess your friendship crimes or just say whatever. Also, she has way too many XL and XXL shirts.

    • CONNECTION
      Oct 27 2025

      In the final episode, Lilly tries to answer the question she's been avoiding: what is connection? She calls random people including a poet, her mom, a barista, a therapist, a Vegas wedding chapel, and accidentally interviews mayoral candidate Brad Lander on election day. After seventy questionnaire responses and twenty-four interviews, Lilly reflects on whether she actually made friends or just performed an elaborate art piece around her own loneliness. Plus, a Rumi quote about patience that initially pissed her off starts to make sense.

    • FUN QUOTES FROM THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR
      Oct 20 2025

      A mashup of the funniest and most memorable moments from all the interviews. Christian explains how he spent a year and a half in a band called The Roasters without knowing what they were roasting, Frances admits her personal brand is compulsive lying but in a fun way, and Thomas thought the whole thing might be Scientology but was ready to join anyway. Plus, someone found an apartment on Craigslist with no photos based purely on vibes, and multiple people reveal their alternate reality addictions ranging from bubble tea to minion porn.
