    Man of the Year – Champions of Friendship

    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 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. Join the revolution at manoftheyearpodcast.com and instagram.com/manoftheyearpodcast

    #207 - The Knicks Championship That Friendship Built Oct 20, 2026
    Show notes

    It was an amazing run in so many ways, but the thing that struck us is that they were not the most athletic or talented, but they were by far the most in sync group of actual friends we may have ever seen in sports and we explore how that played a part in the championship that friendship built!

    Making friends as an adult is hard, but maybe the solution is surprisingly simple: join something.

    #205 - Parents Modeling Friendship Oct 06, 2026
    Show notes

    How do we as parents model for our children what healthy friendship looks like? When we don't have friends around, how does that affect their view of what friendship looks like. And when we have healthy friendships and our children see the importance of it in our lives, how much better will their outlook be? We also tackle questions like how do you balance your children and your friendships and how do you rebuild friendships if you went into the blackhole when you had kids.

    #204 - The Art of Being a Regular Sep 29, 2026
    Show notes

    There’s something special about walking into a bar, coffee shop, or restaurant where everybody knows your name, or at least knows your order.

    #203 - My Husband Has No Friends...and How to Fix it? Sep 22, 2026
    Show notes

    NY Magazine and the Cut came in hot this week with an article titled "My Husband Has No Friends" - catchy, but really not very helpful in terms of solutions to a real problem. In fact it's one we've been working on since Episode 1. You may be the husband in question, feeling like that article resonated, or maybe you feel attacked, or maybe you're the wife or partner that felt heard by it. But since they didn't think to call us and ask for actual help, we decided we'd do what we always do and give you helpful tips if you're dealing with this issue.

    #202 - Slow Friendship Sep 15, 2026
    Show notes

    We live in a world of instant intimacy, but maybe the best friendships are the ones that take their time. This week, Karo and Matt explore the rise of “slow friendship,” discuss why oversharing isn’t the same as closeness, and debate whether letting trust build gradually can lead to deeper, more lasting relationships.

    #201 - Curating Your Hangs Sep 08, 2026
    Show notes

    When you go to a party where a host has put some thought into it, you feel it immediately and you feel great when you leave. What if we started putting just a tiny bit more thought into our hangs? We discuss how small tweaks can make it feel better than the normal routine that may be getting stale.

    #199 - Mate Expectations (Friendship in the UK) Aug 25, 2026
    Show notes

    Karo and Matt have both recently returned from trips to London, which got them thinking about how friendship differs across the pond. They discuss why American friends tend to be more expressive, British friends tend to be more deeply-rooted, and how both qualities can be taken too far. Plus, what each country could learn from the other about being a better friend.

    #198 - Summer Friendship Year Round Aug 18, 2026
    Show notes

    Does it seem like friendship is effortless or more present in your life in summer? It's because it is. Why? Because you're in a summer friendship mindset. This week we discuss how to carry that forward into the fall - through what we call the Sad Sixty, to avoid that lull.
