Earlier today I read this article about Alan Alda, and it mentioned his podcast. I figured I'd give it a swing.
Each episode is roughly 30 minutes long and his guests are typically household names, often popular comics or actors.
As I said, the core subject is communication -- specifically how we can communicate clearly, and the guest's approach to communication.
Each episode finishes with seven questions:
What do you wish you really understood?
What do you wish other people understood about you?
What’s the strangest question anyone has ever asked you?
How do you stop a compulsive talker?
Is there anyone for whom you just can’t feel empathy?
In the surface the first few seem like softball questions, but the answers are surprising.
Alda is as wholesome as they come. A bright, quick wit (as always) who is intoxicatingly easy to listen to.
Clear and Vivid® is a series of Alan Alda’s spirited conversations with people who know how hard it is, and yet how good it feels, to really connect with other people – whether it’s one person, an audience or a whole country.
You'll know many of the people in these conversations – they are luminaries in our culture. Some you may not know. But what links them all is their powerful ability to relate and communicate. With his unique blend of humor and insight, Alda explores the ways we can connect better with one another in every area of our lives. Something we need now more than ever.
