I interview folks on the street about small talk, what it's good for, its pitfalls, and whether or not it's necessary. Topics range from common ice breakers to microaggressions as I seek advice from the bonafide conversation coach, Beacon Driscoll. 

Musical Credits: ALL CAPS by G Jones and Bleep Bloop, Superstition by Stevie Wonder, Here Comes the Judge by Peter Tosh. A very special thanks to all the crosswalk signals, street performers, and cable cars who also appear in this episode.
