Coffee Break: New Conversations Day!

July 11, 2025

Saturday is New Conversations Day! The holiday encourages people to talk to each other (in real life!) and possibly spark a new friendship.
Starting a conversation with someone you don’t know can be intimidating, but there are lots of ways to get the ball rolling. You can talk about your hobbies or introduce someone to your favorite band. Sometimes even sharing a fun fact is enough to get the conversation started. Today, let’s create a playlist full of musical icebreakers.
So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what song with titles that could be conversation starters would you like to hear?
