Supercommunicators | 1. How to Talk to Anyone

Why are some people able to talk with just about anyone—about almost anything? One answer may lie in the questions we ask—and how deeply we ask them. Stick with us here… In this episode, host Charles Duhigg examines why deep questions are so powerful and how to ask them in everyday life. He talks to Nick Epley, psychology professor at the University of Chicago and lifelong researcher of deep questions. And we catch up with Mandy Len Catron, 10 years after she wrote the viral New York Times article “The 36 Questions That Lead to Love.” This Slate miniseries dives into the art and science of meaningful conversations, inspired by Duhigg’s bestselling book, Supercommunicators. Supercommunicators was produced by Derek John and Sophie Summergrad. Our technical director is Merritt Jacob. Joel Meyer is our supervising producer. Learn more about your ad choices.

How To Rebuild Your Life After a Wildfire

Jeff and his family lost their home last month in the L.A. wildfires. Since then, he’s been hyperfocused on insurance claims, an epic to-do list, and finding a “temporary” place to live for the next several years. But Jeff hasn’t experienced the emotional punch of the devastation yet. In fact… he just feels numb. On this episode of How To!, Courtney Martin brings on Laurel Braitman, author of What Looks Like Bravery: An Epic Journey Through Loss to Love. In a moving (and sometimes funny) conversation, Laurel tells Jeff how she’s still processing what she lost in a 2017 wildfire, and they talk about the heartbreak, grief—and glimmers of hope—that follow the sudden loss of your family’s home.

POLÍTICA

You’ll also hear from Fox’s biggest antagonists—the political operatives, journalists, and comedians who attacked it, investigated it, and tried to mock it into submission.

Class problems (eg needing student loans, overall financial literacy, having open & ongoing discussions about money) framed as primarily about racial identity on a recent episode , and it’s not a one-off with this show. One of the guests made a dismissive reference to “non-POC” who she imagined didn’t have to struggle the way she did and the host just accepted that as a given, no probing question about assumptions the lady was holding about people whose financial backgrounds she doesn’t know anything about. Please cut it out. The newer host has a nice voice and he usually comes across well but he and his producers would benefit from interrogating their identitarianism and asking if that’s drawing people to them or pushing people away. It’s 2025 and we’ve gotta get past the dogma. Especially for a human interest show.
Not great
