What's the usage of this expression?
The other day I was listening to an interview, and I noticed that the expression "in and around" kept turning up throughout the conversation. I wrote down some extracts where it can be seen how it was used:

"(...) but I don't see you telling many of the stories in and around"
"delve into conversations in and around"

Answer

Your explanation was absolutely clear. Thanks a lot!

Answer

"In and around" usually refers to something specific as well as surrounding topics. 
For example, "delve into conversations in and around" could be referring to speaking about something specific as well as something related to the specific topic. Like "delve into conversations in and around computer science." This could mean conversations about computer science specifically or conversations related to computer science such as creating an app.
Usually I find this expression in relation to location. For example, "You can find a good taco place in and around the Dallas area." This would refer specifically to Dallas (the "in") as well as the surrounding area (the "around")
I hope this helps it is quite difficult to explain haha
