Stranger Connections
Lisa David Olson has over two decades of writing and performing comedy experience, as well as speaking on the benefits of humor and tips from the stage to more effectively communicate in real life.
Be the nosy neighbor and listen in as she interviews people she barely knows, (or hasn’t yet met) to hear about their weird life stories or quirky careers.
There’s a lady who says she can communicate with your dog, a man who used to be a zen monk, and even a guy from Russia who gave himself up for adoption at age 9.
Expect a few laughs sprinkled in as guests are invited to share a prank or embarrassing moment too. When your host is a bold and curious beast - anything goes.
This podcast is an offshoot of Lisa’s project in bravery, called Serious Selfies With Strangers; where a dare for a non-smiling photo with someone she had not yet met always created a moment of laughter, and often forged the way to new friendships that would never have been.
Books available; Laughs On Wry; an improvisor’s memoir and What If’s and Why Nots; a journal full of creative cues to unravel stuck moments. Comedy album of actual telemarketer calls on iTunes: Phun on the Phone.

Stats: Statistics are produced by Spreaker and Podtrac to help Stranger Connections to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Spreaker and Podtrac are IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.
Dynamic content insertion: Spreaker may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Stranger Connections may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
Stranger Connections is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
