Better Strangers: A Podcast about Conversation
I'm fairly socially awkward and really have a tough time talking to people. Conversation, especially with new people, is a stilted and uncomfortable affair. So what do I do? I make a podcast where I only talk to strangers. Will I get over my fears? Will I figure out how to not pause awkwardly and go "ahhhh" in silent moments? Time will tell!

Role: Host, producer

It's really hard to judge what something like this is going to sound like, especially from inside the project. Having at least one vote is a bit of a relief, knowing that I'm not entirely off base with this.

This is a novel solution to a problem! I look forward to listening.

wow, i like the idea, as I share your social awkwardness, which for me leads to frequent silence.

Thanks for the support! I'm excited to see some MetaFilter folks have submitted to be part of the podcast. Chatty or awkward, everyone is welcome. It should be entertaining, either way.
