Hey there, it's Josh Levine, host of Slow Burn, The Rise of Fox News. I want to tell you about

something new from Slate that you'll find in the Slow Burn feed over the next few weeks.

Super Communicators is a new mini-series inspired by the bestseller by Charles Duhigg.

In conversations with psychologists, social scientists, and even a Hollywood writer,

Charles explores how to ask the right questions, communicate without words,

and find meaningful connections in our lives.

In the first episode, psychologist Nick Epley tells Charles about a set of 36 questions

designed to turn complete strangers into friends.

Some of those questions get a little personal.

The very first time I did this was at a conference. These were all like C-suite executives.

Tell them in just a minute, I'm going to pair you up with another person, and I'm going to have you discuss these questions that are up here on the screen. And they include things like

the last time you cried in front of another person.

As soon as I put those up, a guy in the front row shouts out,

oh, shit.

And you can sort of feel the whole room just groan.

Find out what happened next in the first episode of Super Communicators with Charles Duhigg.

Right here in the Slow Burn feed starting February 22nd.
