Do you remember the moment you met each of your closest friends? Patti Miller has one such memory. The author was on a train, and something clicked between her and another girl – instantaneously – as if the same neural pathways were lighting up.

Miller is our guest in this episode, which looks at friendship. If there’s one thing the past two years has taught us, it’s the importance – and fragility – of friendships. Hosting this discussion - which also explores the growing body of scientific knowledge about how and why we bind to one another - is Good Weekend senior writer, Amanda Hooton.
