A conversation worksheet for Not Quite Strangers listeners
A conversation podcast can offer a starting point for your own reflections. Use this listening sheet to follow an episode and notice how people build a connection.
Work through the checklist
Write the episode title, guests and central question. Summarise one idea in your own words, keeping the speaker's experience separate from a general claim.
Notice a question that invited a detailed response. Adapt its structure for a respectful conversation, without pressing someone to disclose personal information.
After listening, record what changed in your understanding and what remains uncertain. If you share a takeaway, include the episode context rather than an isolated quotation.
A useful question
How can I use the worksheet with a friend?
Choose one open question, allow either person to pass and listen without trying to correct their experience. The goal is understanding, not matching opinions.
