Fighting the Loneliness Epidemic and the Power of Intergenerational Friendships: Feed Drop

This feed drop from Turning Points explores an intergenerational friendship between Peter and Pooja, matched through Boston's FriendshipWorks program. The episode shows how their bond—spanning a 51-year age gap—grew from a volunteer match into mutual life advice, grocery runs, and even a book launch collaboration. Kyle Robidoux, executive director of FriendshipWorks, discusses the loneliness epidemic and how community-based friendship programs can help combat social isolation.
