Empathy w/ Dylan Marron - Ep. 229

This episode is for anyone who has ever been on the receiving end
of mean remarks or straight up hatorade. Writer, podcaster, and
comedian Dylan Marron joins us to talk about the power of empathy
through lessons he's learned by talking to the people who make
nasty comments to him online. We talk about his podcast and new
book with the same name, Conversations With People Who Hate Me.
Plus, we break down the motivations for seeking out information
about strangers who hurt us on the internet. And once you get that
information, what power does it have? Also, Dylan shares his
thoughts on calling haters "trolls," shares his hopes for our
listeners, attempts to explain Turtle Bay, and more! Also, Carolyn
thinks she's found the queerest place in NYC while Melody ventures
to Astoria. Finally, we end with a question from a listener who is
having an impossible time trying to find someone to date. -Get
