You could even ask people to come to a “Dinner Pod-dy” with a subject they want to talk about, such as the topic of a podcast they listened to, something they’ve read that had an impact on them, or something they wonder about.

What’s something you gave up to be here tonight, and something you’re looking forward to? What’s something you love about where you live and something you’d change? If you had a microphone and the whole world was listening, what would you say?

If you had to eat dinner every night with a new stranger, what sort of conversations would you like to have?
