Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship

#189 - Andrew McCarthy on Male Friendship, Reconnecting, and the Power of Showing Up

March 23, 2026·33 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

When Andrew McCarthy’s son asked him, “Do you even have friends?”, it sparked a 10,000-mile journey to reconnect with the people who shaped his life. In this episode, we talk about why male friendship so often fades, what men get right about connection, and why showing up—literally—can change everything. It’s a thoughtful conversation about loneliness, old friends, and what friendship really requires as we get older. Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
