Supercommunicators | 1. How to Talk to Anyone


Listen Later

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.
