Malcolm Gladwell (author of bestsellers such as \u2018Blink\u2019 and \u2018Outliers\u2019; staff writer for the New Yorker and podcaster) joins Sue Perkins to discuss his latest book \u2018Talking to Strangers\u2019 - which is bookended by the story of Sandra Bland, who tragically died in police custody and is one of many names in the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Malcolm explains that Sandra\u2019s story is part of wider problem in how we all misjudge the wants and needs of people we don\u2019t know. Malcolm\u2019s inspirational objects include the Janelle Mon\xe1e song \u2018Hell You Talmbout\u2019 and the \u2018Friends\u2019 theme-tune. #PenguinPodcast
