Active Listening: Wait...what?
We all know how to listen, or at least...we think we do. Listening is more than just hearing. It's more than just looking at someone. It's made up of several elements and takes a lot of work and energy. Do you have what it takes to be an active listener? Test it out by *actively listening* to the latest episode of Comm Therapy! (Like what I did there? Cleaver...I know.)

Denotation & Connotation: You're so HOT
Words mean what we want them to mean. When you call someone "hot" are you really referring to the literal definition of the word hot? Do you really mean that s/he is running a fever, that his or her skin is hot to the touch? Probably not...you probably mean s/he is attractive, sexy, and good-looking. What about swear words? Do we give those words their meaning? Are they "bad" because we make them bad...or are they just naturally bad? Listen, and tell us what YOU think!

Passive-Aggressive Behavior: Just sayin' ;)
We all deal with conflict in our own way. Passive-aggressiveness is one behavior that often creeps up in a moment of conflict. Let's examine some of the signs or possibilities of passive-aggressive behavior, shall we? Is it how we should handle conflict...or should we steer clear of it? You tell me.

Twitter: What is it good for? Absolutely everything.
What's the point of Twitter? Do you use it? Do you understand it? Do you find it useful or a huge waste of time? Join Crystal and J.R. as they argue over the advantages and disadvantages of Twitter. Who do you agree with? Let us know on which side of the Twitter coin you fall!

Proxemics
I look forward to hearing your next podcast to see how it goes. I think that people can become better communicators as they learn about different aspects of communication. Great first podcast.
Average but enough to make one think a bit
I've listened to five of these podcasts. I believe there are good points made and leaves me thinking on the subject at a deeper level. However, there were a couple irritating habits that turned me off. This is supposed to be about all things commutative yet one of the hosts constantly interrupts the other with "yeah" while the other is speaking. This is very disruptive and makes it difficult to concentrate. Also, I got the impression that the two hosts wanted to create a debatable environment but yet rarely do I find them challenging the other's view. I think if the interruptions stopped and they didn't seem afraid to step on the other's toes so much, the podcast would be on the top of my list as they discuss thought provoking subjects.
Great podcast!
Looking forward to future podcasts!
