Ideas from the CBC: Ian Williams: What I Mean to Say

Tuesday, November 19, 2024

Novelist and poet Ian Williams wants to start a conversation about conversations. Civic and civil discourse has deteriorated.

He explores what makes good communication, how to restore the lost art of conversation, and the importance of listening when talking with someone.
