Description
They say talk is cheap—but podcasting is currently a billion-dollar business. Now Joe Pardavila reveals how you can create the kind of conversations that draw both audiences and applause. Drawing on his many years as a radio host on a top-rated radio show in the New York City area, Joe shares a bevy of illuminating anecdotes featuring such superstars as Taylor Swift, Russell Crowe, Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer, and Chris Martin that demonstrate how the right communication skills can create magic moments—while the wrong ones can derail an entire conversation. He’ll also show you how learning comedy improv techniques actually aids interviews. And, by the way, what you’ll learn in Good Listen doesn’t just apply to podcasting. Joe’s mastery of “talking the talk” can work wonders in your personal life as well. If your everyday interactions aren’t sparking your relationships, you’ll discover how to not only find common ground with others but also create bonding opportunities that can carry you far in work, love, and life
Advance Praise
"In Good Listen, Joe Pardavila shares his wisdom and experiences on how talking less and listening more can have a profound positive impact on our personal and professional life. It's a must read for anyone who wants to learn the secrets of effective listening"
- Michael Clinton, author of Roar: Into the Second Half of Your Life
“In today’s world, we all know we are more connected than we’ve ever been in history, which is why it’s such a surprise when we realize how disconnected we feel. The connections are wide, but they’re not deep. We can send a quick hello to our family group text, or have a Zoom happy hour with our college friends, but those good conversations—those deep, soul-baring, vulnerable and healing talks—are harder to come by as we search for the perfect GIF. Joe Pardavila has spent his career having conversations with fascinating people, and his knack for connection takes those talks into unexpected and engaging places. Let him tell you what he’s learned so that you can use it in your life and regain the human connection you’ve been missing. As you would expect from Joe, Good Listen is a very good hang.”
