How to Talk to Strangers with Joe Quenqua

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.

Thursday Apr 24, 2025

Thursday Apr 24, 2025

This week, I was stuck in the airport. And it turned out to be the greatest opportunity for a podcast episode. I ran into Juan and we chatted about so many topics: east coast vs. west coast, family, traveling, and being yourself.
Hope you enjoy.
Thank you, Juan!

This week, I sat down with Lauren. She was incredibly kind, warm, and full of generosity. As an equestrian, she trains horses in Los Angeles. AND she was even brave enough to rescue many of them from the recent LA fires and the Woolsey Fires, years ago. She was such an inspiration.
Thank you, Lauren...and Dobby!

This week, I met Katarina. She was incredibly vulnerable and open and was evacuated during the recent LA fires. I admired her bravery so much. I hope you do, too.
Thank you, Katarina!

For the very first episode, I sat down with Mark. After being turned down by three strangers, Mark was willing to chat. We talked about him moving from the East Coast, the hustle he brought to Los Angeles, making friends, and how he manages stress in an ever-changing world.
Hope you enjoy. Thank you, Mark!

Hi, everyone! This is Joe Quenqua, and I am so excited to be launching my podcast, "How to Talk to Strangers."
It's a question you might have googled - because let's face it; talking to strangers can be scary! But I love talking to strangers (and people in general) to hear their stories, their heartbreaks, their struggles, and their joys and successes. 
I've found that no matter how different we may seem, we are ALL fundamentally the same. And this podcast celebrates that.
