Description

Gen Z are accused of many things: that they’re chronically online, surgically attached to their phones, avoidant of eye contact and allergic to small talk.

They are, we’re told, the loneliest generation, and supposedly the one least able to hold a conversation with a stranger…

So, it may come as a surprise to learn that they, not the extroverted, freewheeling generations before them, are the ones bringing back communal dining!

Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss this is Leslie Shoemaker, Psychologist and Lecturer in TU Dublin and Gráinne O’Higgins & Dearbhaile Gaffney, organisers of Mingle Meets Supper Club.
