#20: People Walking

Loneliness is now considered a public health issue. Is there a
cure? Chuck McCarthy may have invented one by chance, when he
started a service that connected people who didn't know each
other before to talk a walk together. In our new episode, we're
talking to Chuck about the great potential of common walks and
the suprising outcome of scheduled conversations with strangers.
