Like no time passed at all.This show is about that space in between. The maintenance of friendship. The awkward scheduling texts, the disappearing routines, the group chats that go quiet and suddenly come back to life. About trying to stay connected while everyone is busy, broke, moving, changing, and figuring things out.Each episode is basically a catch-up with the people I care about, about where they are, what they’re dealing with, and how we keep up everyone in our lives.So… what do you do for your social upkeep?
