    Eavesdropping

    Send us a text Eavesdropping. Eaves dropping. Dropping in under the eaves. Intentionally listening in on other peoples conversation. Overhearing. Over hearing. Hearing over space. Accidentally hearing what other people are talking about. Is one ok and one not? But what if it's your job? What if you were just trying to be nice? We explore it all as we kick off season 3!

    The Phone

    Send us a text The creation of the phone, aka the cell phone, was a really, really big deal. It allowed anyone to communicate from wherever, whenever they wanted. Listening to a friend or a family member was limitless for the first time ever. Yet today, the evolution of the phone has created a dramatic shift in listening. With all of the apps, games, and information, it can be a tremendous distraction. It has become a great barrier to listening. So what can we do remove that barrier? Take a l...

    Emergency Department

    Send us a text Is the Emergency Department the most critical environment for listening? We say yes and discuss this question, and others, with an expert. Sandy, the Director of Outpatient Services, a Registered Nurse, and a 37-year career ED professional, explains why. The answers may be surprising to some (including this co-host), but the skill of listening in the ED goes beyond staff to staff clinical jargon, and goes right to the core necessity of human communication and emotion.

    I don't want to listen

    Send us a text I’m listening is a podcast about the importance and skill of listening… but what if you don’t want to? From avoidance to exhaustion to being uncomfortable to debate, sometimes we just don’t want to listen. Is that ok? Yes, yes it is. And we ask that you tell that to the other person nicely and with respect. You can also fill your listening bucket prior to that conversation. Don’t worry, we have some tips on how to do that. And it should have been the run play.
