Amrita and Andrew are ”platonic life partners,” artistic co-conspirators, and parents to a good baby. In 2024: Season 2 will reflect on one year of parenting as friends, and *lots* more. We will turn the lens to re-imagining the ways in which people relate to one another in the modern world: whether in family, community, partnership, or romance. Season 1 documented our path from friends to family as we decided to become parents. All the juicy backstory you could ask for. ”Season 0” is the first 41 episodes that preceded this over the years: foundational and central, fun and ridiculous. Without these episodes -- exploring freelancing, and living life off the beaten path -- there is no ”us.” Faced with making an unconventional choice that has the potential to bring you joy? Don’t Think Twice!

We cannot pursue radical ideas of friendship, co-living, and community without talking about HOUSING.
It's been the unspoken elephant in the room in some of our past episodes on group living, platonic life partnerships, aging, and queer chosen family. You might have listened to those episodes thinking, okay, this is great. But literally HOW?
The logistics of making a life are difficult right now. Housing is a mess even doing things the "conventional" way...much less trying NEW ways to build a chosen family, maintaining proximity to your friends, and keeping loneliness at bay. Our guest Michael Freedman-Schnapp is a housing policy expert who walks us through the social trends and policy changes that got us here, and some of the possible solutions to a very complex set of problems.
