How do we work with the people we're talking with to make conversation flow smoothly? What tools can we use to show we're engaged? In this week's episode, we talk about common ground: how we build it, whether it differs for face-to-face vs. online communications, and how memes and new turns of phrase can help conversations and communities along.
