"This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz revisit several favorite segments from Gabfests past to celebrate their 20th anniversary: the consequential and eye-opening "don't call the police" debate, the segment in which John shows Bill Clinton how to apologize with his characteristic eloquence and grace, and that time a data scientist definitively answered the important question: which host interrupts the others the most?"
"In the latest Gabfest Reads, David Plotz talks with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales about his new book The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last. They discuss how Wikipedia's culture of assuming good faith and shared purpose became a model for building trustworthy digital communities - and what lessons that holds for companies, social media, and politics today."
Favorite Political Gabfest segments are highlighted, including a consequential 'don't call the police' debate about parents being arrested for letting children play unsupervised. A demonstration uses Bill Clinton to model how to apologize and reflects on tone-deaf responses to #MeToo criticism. An interruptions segment employs data analysis to identify which contributor interrupts others most. References include Slate and Vox reporting on parental arrests and dangerous roads, plus a revisited 2008 segment about the John Edwards scandal on the Slate Plus bonus episode. Gabfest Reads presents Jimmy Wales on The Seven Rules of Trust and how assuming good faith builds trustworthy digital communities.
