The art of Great Chat with Josh Smith, author, presenter and journalist

Sex Talks With Emma-Louise Boynton

Show Notes

On this week’s live recording of the podcast, Emma-Louise was joined by journalist, presenter, podcaster and author, Josh Smith to discuss his brand new book: Great Chat.

The importance of communication is something we talk about ALL the time at Sex Talks, not least because - as we know - it's the key to great sex and deeper intimacy.

So when Josh published a book all about the art of great conversation we knew we had to sit down with him and extract all his tips and insights.

As a celebrity interviewer, Josh has talked with people of every background, mood and personality, (think Oprah, Victoria Beckham and Pamela Anderson) and they really open up to him. He's the master of creating a space that invites and nurtures vulnerability, which is critical to hosting a great interview but also cultivating a deep relationship with somebody.

In this episode Josh shares everything he’s learned about Great Chat in his many years working as a journalist; his two cents on how to translate this to the context of dating; and the best piece of advice he's ever received (from none other than actress Hayley Atwell).

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

You can buy Josh's book here and find out when the next live recording of the podcast is here.
