This research examines the phenomenon of overlap in conversations featured on the Jay Shetty Podcast. The study aims to analyze the types of overlaps and their impacts on communication quality, using Sacks, Schegloff, and Jefferson’s (1979) theory of turn-taking. The descriptive qualitative method was employed to investigate three selected podcast episodes, with data collected through non-participant observation. The results indicate that overlaps often occur during moments of high engagement and simultaneous turn-taking. While some overlaps enhance the flow of interaction, others disrupt conversational quality when Transition Relevance Place (TRP) rules are violated. These findings offer valuable insights for improving communication strategies in podcast settings.
