{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"How to Talk to Strangers with Joe Quenqua","slug":"howtotalktostrangers","podcastDescription":"How to Talk to Strangers is an original podcast from media executive and personality, Joe Quenqua. In each conversation, he approaches random strangers to have conversations about life, love, struggles, heartbreak, and joy. Though talking to strangers can be scary, Joe shows that it doesn’t have to be. There is connection among people - even among strangers. Because no matter how different we are, fundamentally we are all the same.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/20514953/Untitled_design_4_6uzjg.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/20514953/Untitled_design_4_6uzjg_1200x628.jpg?s=dff6498667179171acee6454c3218c3d&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://howtotalktostrangers.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/howtotalktostrangers/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-qk46s-1390889?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":11,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Joe Quenqua","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-qk46s-1390889-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-talk-to-strangers-with-joe-quenqua/id1804976522","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-qk46s-1390889?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/6oLgem0TwprucDMyJqUWj9","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/48859c3f-fde7-401e-9f6f-06eaa3341d67","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/271196722","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3655663","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/how-to-talk-to-strangers-with-6044783","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/130581","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#428200"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

This week we meet my barber - Sal! So while he's technically not a \"stranger\" per se, he is someone I have been dying to know more about over the years. And so, naturally, he was the perfect person to interview for the podcast.

I feel so much more connected to him after this conversation.

How close are you to your hair stylist?
