These days, it seems impossible to have a reasonable conversation with anyone who has a different opinion. Whether you’re online, in a classroom, an office, a town hall – or even just hoping to get through a family dinner with a stubborn relative. That’s why the release of Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay’s book, ‘How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide’ is incredibly timely. Gareth interrogates the ideas and themes within the book as Peter chats to him via Skype from Portland, Oregon. This interview, much like the book, guides you through the straightforward, practical, conversational techniques necessary for every successful conversation – whether the issue is climate change, religious faith, gender identity, race, poverty, immigration, or gun control.
