Episode 205: Missed Connections
Have you ever been standing in line at the grocery store and played eye-tag with someone, but never got up the gumption to say hello? Ever been stuck in traffic and exchanged smiles with someone from another car, but never rolled down the window to exchange phone numbers? How about the make-out session you had at that club with the stranger whose name and number you’ve since lost, or regrettably never bothered to ask for?
The Missed Connection section of Craigslist makes it possible, however remotely, that you can get a second chance to make that connection. Some posts are simple, many are strange, but most of them are (or appear to be) earnest.
In our final episode, your host imagines the backstories leading up to several of these anonymous posts; the false starts, the sideways glances, and the inevitably missed opportunities.
Listeners be warned: portions of this episode are likely to contain adult situations including (but not limited to) international soap operas, pop music icons, alcohol and/or drug use, fast food, and casual sex in public places.
