Empathy w/ Dylan Marron - Ep. 229

Author: Dyking Out - a Lesbian and LGBTQ Podcast for Everyone! March 29, 2022 Duration: 1:32:34
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 extra content EACH WEEK, Ad Free episodes, support the pod, and get to know other listeners by joining our Patreon community.

New York comedians Carolyn Bergier and Melody Kamali are at the mic for Dyking Out, a weekly space that feels like grabbing a drink with your funniest, most insightful queer friends. While the title proudly centers a lesbian perspective, the conversation and community built here are genuinely for everyone interested in LGBTQIA+ life. The format is deceptively simple: each episode, Carolyn and Melody bring on a special guest-be it a comedian, musician, actor, or even a personal crush-to dive into a specific topic relevant to the community. What unfolds is never just a dry discussion; it’s a lively, often hilarious, and deeply personal unpacking of pop culture, current events, sexuality, health, and the nuances of daily existence. You’ll hear authentic interviews that range from heartfelt to absurd, all filtered through a comedic lens that makes even complex subjects feel accessible and engaging. This isn’t about formal debates or polished takes. It’s about the specific joy and solidarity found in “dyking out” over shared experiences and new ideas. At its heart, this podcast operates on a simple, winking principle: having a great time while casually advancing the gay agenda. Tune in for the laughter, stay for the culture, and become part of the ongoing conversation.
