Male Friendship and Reconnecting with Old FriendsFrom 80s heartthrob to writing about loneliness and showing up: Andrew McCarthy was the guest on Dear Nina this week!Okay, the big news around here is that I had Andrew McCarthy on episode 189 of Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship! If you’re of a certain age, then Andrew was the heartthrob in what seemed liked every major movie when we were growing up. But did you know Andrew has managed to keep up a career in film, TV, and directing while also being an acclaimed writer? He’s a widely published travel writer, and his newest book, Who Needs Friends: An Unscientific Examination of Male Friendship Across America, chronicles his recent road trip to reconnect with friends after his 20-something son said to him, “You don’t really have any friends, do you, Dad?” The thing is Andrew did have friends, he just had not seen most of them or spent time with them in MANY years. Andrew’s work to reconnect with these friends who live all over the country is the plot of his new memoir. I could spend the rest of this newsletter telling you what we discussed, but the title of the episode gives you a hint— “Andrew McCarthy on Male Friendship, Reconnecting, and the Power of Showing Up.” Rather than listing all the points we made, I’d love for you to listen to the episode! Or you can watch it on YouTube. All of the links are below. Listen to episode #189 on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and anywhere you get your podcasts! DEDICATE A WEEK OF THE PODCAST!
