We Don't Talk About That

Episode 26: Encountering Silence with Carl McColman Part 1

Listen Later

In this episode I talk to Carl McColman about technology’s effect on us, why we are afraid of silence, and what it can contribute to better conversations. This will be a two part conversation that we will finish next week. On his podcast Encountering silence they always take a 30 second pause of silence in the middle of the episode. I’ve also done that in these two episodes as a way for us to practice pausing and entering in to silence as well.
