Over the next few months, we'll be testing a few different show and segment ideas. Not to replace our current weekly in-depth interviews, but to potentially add to them. Yes, you heard right. There just might be more GLP to engage with on a regular basis, real soon. And, today's our first experiment, with a new show format we're calling 9Things™. What is it? A three-person roundtable, where each person shows up with three topics to jam on. And, the thing is, nobody knows what the other person's topics will be until they hit the conversation. My guests for the premier episode of the 9Things format are two good friends, Gabra Zackman and Erin Moon. As you can imagine, this leads to moments that range from seriously funny to seriously soulful and, well, seriously not-safe-for-work (headphones might be advised for this one, toward the later parts). We absolutely want your feedback on this new format and episode, so please share your thoughts in the comments below or by tweeting me @jonathanfields. As I mentioned, it's not going to replace out weekly conversations, we're just playing with potential additional show formats to add into the mix. Covered in this episode: Bronies: adult men My Little Pony lovers - Freaky or soulful?Depression: is it okay to own it, and what's the opposite?Maniacal taskmasters: do you need one to become the best in the world?Negotiating with terror: where do human rights begin and end?Vision-boarding: silly myth or scientific tool?Paying for faith: will people give more if they don't have to give at all?Online dating: full frontal pics, where's the lineTrue love, twice found: is it possible to have two loves of a lifetime?Manly beards: because, c'mon, hipsters are people too!

单集文稿 ...

  • One of the coolest things about podcasting, especially right around now, when it's kind of a little bit like the wild, wild west, every time I blink.

  • There's not just a new podcast launching now, but there's a new network, there's a new format.

  • People are testing, they're diving in, they're playing, they're experimenting, they're visioneering.

  • They're just kind of going nuts with all the possibility.

  • It is so much fun to see the level of creativity and innovation that's unfolding in this space right now, and we want to actually kind of ride along with that as well.

  • So we're going to start testing a couple of really interesting, kind of cool, fun, different formats.

  • Now, this is not going to replace our regular in depth weekly conversations, but we may start to add to those shows.

  • Today is a first addition to that.

  • It's a format we call nine things.

  • What is that?

  • It's me hanging out, sitting around a table with two other people.

  • Each of us bring three topics to the conversation without the others knowing what those topics are beforehand, and we will just rock and roll and go around the table until we cover all nine topics and we figured everything out 100%.

  • Or maybe not.

  • Maybe we'll just kind of move on because we can't figure anything out.

  • The first conversation.

  • My guests are Aaron Moon and Gabra Zachman.

  • They've both been on the show before as in depth conversation guests, so you may know their names and if you don't, go check them out.

  • And of course we'll include links to both of them in the show notes this is being recorded after that first episode has already been done and edited.

  • What I can tell you is the episode is raw, it's poignant, it's real, it's funny, and at point, it is absolutely not safe for work.

  • So if you've got small children or sensitive people in the room, throw on some headphones.
