{"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","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":8,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Joe Quenqua","engagementStatsBaseUrl":"https://d1.podbean.com/webplayer_engagement?u=6828da9160f782271b02b2b2","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://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fhowtotalktostrangers.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog20514953%26podcastIdTag%3Dqk46s&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fhowtotalktostrangers.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","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, I spoke to Elias. From Germany, he was traveling to New York City, where I happened to be, and we struck up a delightful conversation.

We chatted about travel, the openness of being in America, and the beauty of making new connections with strangers, near and far.

Thank you, Elias...and safe travels!
