À propos de cette écoute

In a world where social media and the news leave us feeling overwhelmed by climate change, inequality, and personal animosity, it's easy to feel like we're all in this mess alone. But the truth is: You're not. Social Threads is your go-to podcast for venting, laughing, and finding solidarity in the chaos. Hosted by best friends, Frances Lafferty and Cristina Barca - two people who, on paper, had nothing in common but have found wisdom in their differences - this show is all about navigating the big, heavy stuff with a dose of humor and humanity. Think of it like a heart-to-heart with your hairstylist, your favorite bartender, or your drunk aunt Jill. No, they don't have all the answers (who does?), but they are here to remind us that we're all just figuring it out together. Tune in for informal chats, real talk, and the occasional laugh through the messiness of life.
