Conversations with People Who Hate Me is a new podcast from the Welcome to Night Vale folks in which Dylan Marron, who voices Carlos the Scientist on Night Vale, tracks down the people who troll him online and has long, thoughtful, substantive (and funny!) discussions about where they're coming from.
His goal isn't to change anyone's mind, but rather to understand where people are coming from. "If we keep retreating into these chambers where we're just with people we agree with, then we'll only know how to catapult cannons over the wall," he says. "We'll never know how to walk to the line and shake hands and have a conversation."
