Exchange Exemplar: How To Start A Conversation

Beatrice Murch/Wikimedia

A journalist and a comic actor walk into a bar. 

It's not the setup to a joke, it's the start of two men helping other people start conversations. 

Chris Colin and Rob Baedeker, journalist and comic, respectively, teamed up for a book on getting a conversation off the ground: What to Talk About.  Rob Baedeker visited in May of 2014 and we re-rack the interview here.
