Talking to Strangers: crazy youth, non-traditional weddings and feeling misunderstood with Josh Withers
This week on Book(ish) I sit down with ex-radio personality and current marriage celebrant Josh Withers to discuss Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell. Our conversation ranges over not wanting to be just a nerd, the lie that is the desire for a “non-traditional” wedding and trying to communicate with others. Enjoy!
Content warning: this book discusses sexual assault and pedophilia so our conversation does briefly touch upon these topics.
