Description

What happens when you dedicate your life to talking with strangers?

Filmmaker and street interviewer Eric Jeng has held more than 2,000 conversations on the streets of New York β€” with everyone from the homeless and porn-industry workers to Wall Street traders and even the Taliban.

In this conversation, Eric and Adam explore what those encounters reveal about empathy, faith, judgment, and what it really means to see another person.
If you’ve ever wondered why we crave connection in an age of isolation, this episode is for you.
