In this episode of the Horrible People podcast, we really dive into 'othering' through listener-submitted stories. We discuss the impact of political beliefs on personal relationships, particularly in the context of voting and community belonging. The conversation also delves into the challenges faced by hunters in the face of online hate and misunderstanding, as well as the experiences of atheists feeling judged in religious communities. I also answers listener questions, providing insights into my podcasting journey and encouraging audience engagement.
