It’s a good thing to have disagreements, but we often forget to have a learner’s posture when we hear the “other side.” Are we surrounding ourselves only with sources and ThoughtLeaders™ that confirm our already-held biases? Or are we willing to genuinely learn? Seth and Tsh lean into GK Chesterton’s insight from almost a century ago: “People generally quarrel because they cannot argue. And it is extraordinary to notice how few people in the modern world can argue.” <ul class="ul1"><li class="li1">Seth: <a href="https://sethhaines.substack.com/">Newsletter</a> | <a href="http://www.sethhaines.com/">Website</a></li> <li class="li1">Tsh: <a href="https://tsh.substack.com/">Newsletter</a> | <a href="https://tshoxenreider.com/">Website</a></li> <li class="li2"><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drinks">Pick up a round of drinks</a> & help keep the show going</li> <li class="li1"><a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/tsh-oxenreider/">Come to Italy with us</a>!</li> <li class="li1"><a href="https://youtu.be/AYp5xtkoF6M">Speaking 5+ Languages with my Polyglot Grandma (Part 1)</a>, by Nathaniel Drew</li> <li class="li1"><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1632/9780062802798">Anthony Bourdain’s World Travel: An Irreverent Guide</a>, by Anthony Bourdain & Laurie Woolever</li> </ul> This is a public episode.

Formative books, formative places. A Drink With a Friend is a seasonal conversation series with writer Tsh Oxenreider—friends, new and old, chatting about what's shaped them: the book they loved as a kid, the one forming them now, and a place, big or small, they've never forgotten. No agenda, no hot takes ...just the best kinds of conversations over a good drink with a friend. thecommon.place
