The Art of Mingling explained for all of us! INTERVIEW - a podcast by Bob Andelman

Today's Guest: Jeanne Martinet, author of The Art of Mingling and Life is Friends.

JEANNE MARTINET podcast excerpt: "The old rule in Victorian days used to be that safe subjects were the weather and your health. That was the line. But both of these subjects now lead directly to politics. The weather leads directly to globe warming and your health to (Obamacare). I do have some techniques in 'The Art of Mingling' for defusing political situations. Don't talk politics unless you know you're not with a fanatic. You don't want to argue at a party."
