In this episode, Jane and Yergz host their second guest of the podcast, David Beckemeyer, the host of Outrage Overload. Here, he tells us about "Anger Porn" and outrage, not only in media and social media, but in life, itself.
While there is no ONE person or movement to blame, David tells us where it came from and how we can be part of the solution instead of being part of the problem.
You'll learn about The Connors Institute for Non-Partisan Research & Civic Engagement at Shippensburg University. Yes, fellow Pennsylvanians, THAT Shippensburg University!
Next Yergz compliments both David AND Jane on their accomplishments as podcasters, but also as researchers about what we can do to Inspire, and as David puts it, "bring down the temperature."
That's when Yergz makes the point that he learned that there IS more than just outrage in the media, but outrage in LIFE!
Find out what we can do for ourselves, when enough is enough, and whether or not we, as a society, have hit "rock bottom." Reach out with us, across party lines, to have the necessary discussions with passion over anger, civility over hate, and lower the temperature with the host of Outrage Overload!
