Alison Knowlton Mason and Stanley Bradley are friends turned framily—40somethings getting together to tell stories, laugh, observe and think. The Framily Meeting is a weekly podcast that takes a topical look at universal threads through the lens of pop culture and personal experience. Framily is where we meet to celebrate the kinships we choose and the connections that sustain us.
[ We're grown-ups and we curse on occasion, thus the explicit tag. ]

Customer Reviews
Thought provoking, funny, and absolute perfection!
This is the most thought provoking podcast that I listen to (and I listen to a lot of podcasts)! After I listen to each episode I find myself thinking about it, processing it, and examining myself and my life for days and weeks at a time! Every! Single! Time! If you are looking for a podcast that will help you, change you, make you think, and make you laugh all at the same time - then welcome to the framily!
Framilyyy!
Framily...we all have friends that become family just by way of connecting in one way or another! I enjoyed listening to the casual recount of everyday life between new friends that became FRAMILY!
