Strangers, cont’d.
I want to
talk about my other favorite podcast, the one who got me hooked on them to
start with. So there is no unnecessary suspense, it’s HIDDEN BRAIN always
wonderful.
Now podcasts
are so valuable to me, it’s hard to imagine what it was like before. Before, I
might lie awake trying to sleep. Now I lie in bed, trying not to sleep because
the podcast is so interesting.
But I can’t.
I must talk about Gladwell’s book.
Talking to
Strangers
AT first,
you wonder what he’s after. The many stories he discusses have been widely
covered. But as we know, he’s always got something up his sleeve. And by the
time he’s done, after many go-rounds and interweavings, everything is in a new
light. Often in an unimaginable way. Things you think you understand, believe
me, you don’t.
Also, many
of the discussions are so pertinent to what’s happening today, it’s almost as
if he just wrote on the heels of the recent police murders.
The tag line
of my radio show was CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING. And this has proven to be a necessary
adjunct to any effort to learn the truth.
