The Love of Listening: A Reflection On Listening Across Difference | The Canadians Ep. 18

Modern society has become very good at communication and increasingly poor at understanding.   In this solo minisode, Jared Michael explores the difference between listening and simply waiting for our turn to speak. He reflects on disagreement, dehumanization, curiosity, and why recognizing another person’s humanity may be one of the most important skills a healthy society can cultivate.   A reflection on listening, not as a communication technique, but as an act of recognition, empathy, and perhaps even love.   The Canadians Links   Website:   https://www.thecanadianspodcast.ca/   Support Page:   https://buymeacoffee.com/thecanadians   Follow us on X:   https://x.com/TheCanadiansPod   Subscribe on Spotify:   https://open.spotify.com/show/75wxT42gEPMiOBGTFFU4D4   Subscribe on Apple Podcasts:   https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/bad-canadians/id1785300184   Subscribe on YouTube:   https://www.youtube.com/@TheCanadiansPod   Opening Song: Aria 51 by MicroBongo Soundsystem, used with permission.
