As seen in the New York Times, on NPR, and the TODAY Show, Man of the Year is the #1 friendship podcast in the country! Comedians and friendship experts Matt Ritter and Aaron Karo will help you make new friends, reconnect with old ones, and build lifelong social fitness. Each November they award a gigantic Man of the Year trophy to one of their childhood friends – a tradition that has kept their crew going strong since the '80s. But the country is currently facing a friendship recession – 15% of men report having zero close friends – and they’re on a mission to change that with tips, hacks, and decades of hilarious stories.

It makes me strive to be a better friend.

AI discussion was boring
The good news is I just bought two of your T-shirts and I’m wearing them proudly. The bad news is you’re getting off-topic. Please return to things related to friendship for men. That’s what drew me to you and you’re getting way off topic. The idea of your podcast is admirable and appreciated. Please return to your purpose with the podcast. Thank you.
Really thought provoking, fun, and practical!
What a great concept! I really like how the show delves into so many undiscussed, even taboo topics for men in a non-Andrew state manner. So glad I met Aaron at a recent college alumni party.
