The Last Show with David Cooper · Are Extroverts Better Listeners? · 8 Apr 2026 podcast

Smart, sharp, and slightly unhinged, Late Night's Fresh Perspective, The Last Show with David Cooper.

Want to make a friend who's a really good listener?

Make friends with an introvert.

That is the common wisdom.

But what if a chatty extrovert in the room is actually better at listening than an introvert?

A new research study suggests that might be true.

I am here with Chris Winchester, a management professor at Texas Tech University, to discuss all of this.

Chris, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for having me, David.

I'm thrilled to be here.

Let's attack this stereotype that the quiet person in the room sitting there saying nothing is the best listener.

What made you curious to test that assumption?

So you went in a little arrogant.

You're trying to prove what you thought about yourselves, that we are a group of great listeners and you got humbled by the science.

Before we get to those results, though, how do we define good listening?

What makes a good listener?

Also, what are we talking about?

I lost my train of thought.

I really hope my mom is listening.

She's probably hearing this interview, but I'm not sure she's listening.
