Happy Sunday, y'all. Elise Hugh here. And today we are bringing you a Sunday pick where we share an episode of another podcast from Ted handpicked by us for you. You might remember Corner Piece from a recent Sunday pick. It's Ted's newest podcast, a show that starts small on life's biggest questions. Co-hosts Taha, Melissa, and Sabrina, lifelong friends
and full-time nerds you might know from their YouTube channel Answer in Progress. Take an everyday worry and launch a full investigation to figure out how much of the problem is modern life and how much is just part of being human. Today, we're sharing another recent episode, this time all about friendship, and a question
that might feel familiar. Why does making friends as an adult feel like mission impossible? Melissa explores what it actually means to be a friend, all while grappling with a friendship breakup of her own.
