1
I've literally never been on air without saying something embarrassing.
2
That's the charm of your show, right?
3
100% of the times I'm being recorded, I am embarrassing myself.
4
Why would you need to be a better human if you were perfect to begin with?
5
I'm starting at a very low place.
6
Hi, I'm Elise Hu.
7
I'm the host of TED Talks Daily.

Hi, I'm Chris Duffy, and I'm the host of How to Be a Better Human.
13
We are so cute.
14
We're like a little band.
15
Trying too hard.
16
That's so good.
17
Oh, no. I believe this.
18
Yeah.
19
Or please, please stop.
20
In good ways.
21
Oh, please.
22
Please, please stop.
23
The person willing to hide the body.
24
That is more than three words, that's actually disturbing.
25
Hide the body.
26
Exhausting, relentless, sparky.
27
Ooh.
28
Will break you out of a third world prison.
29
Wow.
30
Oh, you're a good friend.
31
Yeah, that's nice.
32
Because my best friend would say, always in a drive-through.
33
Oh.
34
A lot.
35
What I've learned is very few members of this audio collective know how to count to three.
36
No. And you all speak in prose as well.
37
We break rules.
38
That's so interesting.
39
I'm a bullet pointer.
40
Self-healing concrete.
41
That's a good one.
42
Absolutely fascinating.
43
If I will build a city and an army, I'm going to have self-healing concrete.
44
That's really cool.
45
Okay, mine's a question that was sparked by a talk, which is the wearables guy can measure socialization.
46
How do you measure socialization?
47
It's listening.
48
You haven't done the So it's the amount of time you're not talking?
49
Okay, so what you're talking about, sorry, exhausting, relentless, sparky.
50
He's my speaker this year, so he has his hearing aids, right?
51
Which I assume we can find out are recording all of his conversations and making sure that he's interacting enough with people.
52
Welcome to the world where we quantify all conversations.
53
That's a transformational idea.
54
That is transformational.
55
Well, Manoush came on my podcast.
56
This episode is not out.
57
And we talked about what it's like to be in an industry that just gets disrupted all the time.
58
And I think a lot of people are going through that and worrying that they're going to lose their jobs.
59
And my takeaway from the episode was, what would you do if you believed your job was always going to exist and always going to be needed,
60
needed, but the form it took was going to be really different.
61
Ah.
62
She's deep.
63
I was just talking to a branding guy downstairs who laid
64
some wisdom on me before I ran up here to talk to you all, and he said he always tells people what are the five things that you are most proud of doing,
65
and then what's going to be the sixth?
66
Whoa.
67
I know.
68
Literally never been on air without saying something embarrassing.
69
That's the charm of your show, right?
70
100% of the times I'm being recorded, I am embarrassing myself.
71
Why would you need to be a better human if you were perfect to begin with?
72
I'm starting at a very low place, so we're just trying to get me to zero.
73
We cut all mine out.
74
I just sound so...
75
Editing.
76
No, but that's part of it, right? it's like sounding a little like a little bit dumb
77
because you want to get the person to explain things to you
78
and you can never be sure like what your listener does know
79
or doesn't know and so being a little bit embarrassing and and
80
and vulnerable it's part of the host job description I really
81
hate mispronouncing people's names I think that's where I feel most embarrassed
82
because I get pronouncers and then I still have to like read like redo it over and over again, it's like, did your brain not get it the first time?
83
Like, let's do it again.
84
I also think that a unique thing about Ted's podcasts compared to other podcasts is that they're fact-checked.
85
I'm sorry.
86
Oh, that's so sad.
87
What unique is that?
88
Oh, very few other podcasts are fact-checked.
89
Really, that's really rare.
90
And so most of the things that I'm embarrassed by, listeners never actually hear, but I see in the edit where they're like, you said this very confidently, and that is in no way true.
91
So I say a lot of that stuff.
92
That's funny.
93
I think I've bad-mouthed my husband in episodes.
94
And in the end, it got through a fact check.
95
I was going back to more of the embarrassing thing, but yes.
96
I love the bromance between the tennis professionals, Carlos Alcaraz and Yannick Sinner.
97
They are rivals.
98
They are fierce rivals, but they're also friends.
99
And it's really fascinating to watch their evolution and how they support each other.
100
And I just love it.
101
I live for that bromance.
102
That's so sweet.
103
I'm really into sour gummy worms.
104
I've been making a lot of French toast casserole.
105
Like every weekend, like I learned, the internet taught me.
106
And so I make it for the family and I try to outdo myself every time.
107
I'm obsessed with that now too.
108
Yes.
109
Mitochondria, like really into mitochondria.
110
Part of the cell?
111
Very minutiae answer.
112
Okay.
113
But you guys, you thought it was the powerhouse of the cell, right?
114
It's so much more than that.
115
It is sending information.
116
And by the way, you get all your mitochondria, the genes of them are only from your mom.
117
Really?
118
Yeah.
119
Isn't that crazy?
120
So I asked him to.
121
It's a matriarchy.
122
Yeah, it's a matriarchy.
123
That's exactly right.
124
It is a matriarchy.
125
And it is like when you build muscle, it builds more mitochondria so you have more energy.
126
And then it sends it to all the different cells throughout your body.
127
I love medicine.
128
I know.
129
That's fascinating.
130
That's good, right?
131
That's really cool.
132
Yeah.
133
There is this amazing TikToker who does a whole bit about how she's the receptionist in heaven.
134
And she started it as like a funny thing.
135
And then she started getting all these inbound emails for people to do receptionist for someone
136
that died and for her to talk.
137
And now she's this grief counselor, basically.
138
She's writing obits.
139
Or performing obits.
140
And she wrote a book, and I'm obsessed with her.
141
Oh, that's really good.
142
We should talk about our favorite creators, or the creators that show up on our feeds the most.
143
Yeah, the creator that shows up on my feed a lot, who I really like, is maybe an eight-year-old boy.
144
I don't mean that in a creepy way.
145
His name is Easy Peasy Jordan.
146
And he cooks, and all his meals are cooked in a rice cooker.
147
It's really amazing.
148
Kids who cook are fascinating.
149
Easy Peasy Jordan, check it out.
150
Mine is SB Mowing, and he clears overgrown lawns.
151
Oh, yeah.
152
Very satisfying.
153
Huge fan.
154
Huge fan.
155
I bet.
156
Don't do it.
157
You should know how to log off.
158
Step back away from them.
159
I've actually got to think about my real answer.
160
Well, my answer is you've got to have a great team.
161
I don't feel like I am good at this without an awesome team.
162
And our producers and engineers and fact checkers, as you mentioned, shout out to the fact checkers,
163
and editors like make me sound and feel much more intelligent than I actually am.
164
So, shout out.
165
So, podcasts are like all on video now
166
or podcasts are moving towards video and I feel like something that gets lost is fidelity to sound.
167
And so I think you should still care about quality audio.
168
I also think that if, especially if you're doing an interview show, like all of us do some version of an interview show,
169
I think the number one thing you should think about is it not being about you.
170
Yeah.
171
But what are you actually curious about in the other person?
172
When are you going to start that, Chris?
173
Sunday soon.
174
Oh, burn.
175
That's true?
176
I'm just kidding.
177
I love Chris.
178
He's the best.
179
To the point, especially when we think of follow up questions, it's like you really have to think about what would my audience want to ask?
180
Like, what are they, if they were sitting in this chair, what would they want to know?
181
Yeah.
182
And so you're right.
183
It's not about you.
184
It's not about sounding smart or making it like an advertisement for this person.
185
It really is the Susie and Joe are listening and they've got this turned on and they're like, oh, see, I want to know this about this, about that.
186
Make three episodes before you decide you actually really want to do this.
187
Try it out.
188
See what it's like.
189
That's actionable.
190
Yeah, don't commit to anything.
191
You might hate this.
192
Or maybe three scratches the itch.
193
Or maybe you're like, damn, I am good at this.
194
I'm ready.
195
Just think we don't test things enough before we say like we're all in.
196
Yeah.
197
I think visualizing who you're making it for, having a person in your head who you're trying to talk to has been really valuable to me.
198
And I think also following your own natural curiosity just to make it all about me, obviously.
199
But like, if it's not interesting to you, then it's definitely not going to be interesting to someone else.
200
Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
