I know how valuable it is. And our topic today is small talk. Now, I should say that this is a topic that I've tried to write a podcast episode about at least three times. I came to write this episode and I was worried that I might already have covered it since it felt so familiar as a topic.

I took a look through my folders and through many, many scripts that I've written for this show, and I actually found three different attempts, three times that I've tried to write a podcast about small talk and failed. I think the reason is that in part it's just such a big topic, and therefore a difficult one to handle in a short podcast episode. Equally, the nature of small talk is that it is unstructured, and yes, what I try to do with these podcast episodes is bring structure to things. That's a really effective way to improve our communication, is to think in structures and frameworks.
