Awkward Party Conversations

In a slightly belated episode, K.V. and Hershal walk through the weeds on issues like public shaming, the tricky etiquette of professional networking events, and oversharing service sector employees. We also draw a brief and very ill-advised comparison between Demi Lovato and Martin Luther King III, which we regretted almost immediately.

Four episodes in the vault, and your hosts are still trying to figure out how to start an episode organically and segue casually between segments. This month's episode is a bit of a freewheeling affair, where we bounce back and forth between talking about Drake's new "playlist" to Fahrenheit 9/11 in a matter of minutes. We also swap stories about unexpectedly difficult encounters with food service employees, discuss the incredible strange scenarios in which we've encountered past acquaintances, and extend our listener submission streak to two episodes!

On this episode of the APC podcast, your illustrious hosts discuss the art of basketball court small-talk, the conventions of social media etiquette, and we take our very first listener submission! We also tell you about why you should avoid the new Lupe Fiasco album at all costs.

On the second episode of the APC Podcast, your infamous hosts (HAH) unpack the pleasantly surprising and often contradictory feedback from our first episode, the intricacies of first-time meetings (including troubling occasions where we've problematically forgotten the names of people we've already met), and attempt to do some impersonations and "improv comedy"--both of which may have very well contributed to this podcast's immediate demise. Will there be an episode three? You won't know, because you'll probably unsubscribe (please don't).

In this introductory episode of Awkward Party Conversations, K.V. and Hershal give listeners an idea of what to expect from this podcast, and discuss a multitude of topics, including: the art of effective neighbourly conversation, the intricacies of talking to immigrant families about employment status, and for some inexplicable reason, politics. In the spirit of the holiday season, we also decided to give each other the most ridiculous gifts we could find in stores.
