Fast Friends with Logan Cummins

Logan Cummins

The podcast where standup comedian Logan Cummins sets out to make friends with each and every one of his guests by the end of the episode. Based very loosely on research from psychologist Arthur Aron’s Fast Friends Protocol, each episode will be structured so that the host and his guest(s) build connection gradually through discussion; starting with small talk and becoming increasingly personal as the interview goes on. Each episode culminates in a moment of truth where Logan sends his guest a metaphorical Friend Request, and the guest must answer if they Accept or Ignore. Hosted on Acast.
