    A good friend can be hard to find. How is it that, for a subset of people who define themselves by their sensitivity and depth, it can feel so difficult to find relationships that aren’t centered on networking and shallow small talk?

    Sure, we may know a hundred other artists who we get along well with, but how well do we really know these folks, and how well do they know us beyond what shows we have coming up or what new projects we’re working on? Casual acquaintances are great, but the loneliness inevitably creeps in when one needs friends with whom to share the true joys and sorrows of life —such as when you need help moving or company at the DMV.

    In this episode of Nah-cademics, Brett and John seek to get to the bottom of this dilemma and inadvertently confirm that running an amateur podcast doesn’t automatically net you a bunch of friends—shocking, we know.

    -How much of the feeling of having too few friends is really the result of over romanticizing the friendships of our youth and failing to accept and redefine what they mean in adulthood?

    -As musicians who (most of the time) love music, why does talking about music often feel so exhaustingly hollow?

    -Would Brett and John have more friends if they simply attended more “Pickin’ Parties”?

    As always, this podcast offers no definitive answers to the above questions—well, except maybe that last one (it’s doubtful, they’re “those podcast guys,” remember?)—it is but the eager chattering of two long-winded loners. However, if you find yourself asking any of the above questions and always feeling alone the crowd, this podcast is for you.

    Come, overthink with us!
