The Upgrade by Lifehacker - How to Talk to Anyone, With Podcaster Ken Plume (RECAST)

How to Talk to Anyone, With Podcaster Ken Plume (RECAST)

04/19/21 • 32 min

The Upgrade by Lifehacker

In this episode we’re talking about the lost art of conversation-making. Joining us is podcaster and raconteur Ken Plume, who has conducted extensive interviews with the likes of Mel Brooks and John Cleese. We discuss how Ken got his start feeling comfortable talking to just about anyone, how he handles the awkwardness of a cocktail party (hint: it involves a fern)—and then we invent an acronym that will help you handle any conversational challenge. (Sort of.)
