Interesting #audiobook based on the author‘s podcast. Dylan traces his career from acting to media personality before digging into the conversations he has had with trolls on his podcast. He selected people who made rude comments but not dangerous threats and taped a dialogue with them, and surprisingly they often ended up having a productive conversation. Now he facilitates conversations between other media figures and their trolls.
Big note ⬇️
Though unfamiliar with the podcast that inspired this book, it sounded quite interesting! And it is a quick read that explores Marron‘s interactions with commenters across the Internet. While I‘m not certain that any life-changing moments will happen as a result, it‘s a bold move to open dialogue knowing that it will start from an adversarial place. I appreciated his sincerity but like the author, would have liked more dramatic conclusions!
Dylan Marron writes with vulnerability, clarity, passion, & empathy in this retelling of his ongoing social experiment of bring together folks who have quarreled online. There are various ways we react to opposition, but conversation is at the centre of this project, & I truly appreciated learning about the process of putting various types of media & how they impacted others. Reminders that people are all nuanced can both be exhausting & necessary
