Episode notes

"If you're not willing to be who you are, then nothing will ever change," he says. "Because i can tate, as god says, i can trace the sens, doesn't mean i hav to hate the center." 'Just because people will not accept you because you're fat, you're different, your minority, youre pancenters,' Ben adds. "'Don't let some stupid comment like the one i made, or the one e pretty sure a lot of people make' - that's what josh is trying to tell us here".

This week on Your Undivided Attention, we’re doing something different: we’re airing an episode of another podcast that’s also part of the TED Audio Collective.

Backing up for a moment: we recently aired an episode with Dylan Marron — creator and host of the podcast, Conversations With People Who Hate Me. On his show, Dylan calls up the people behind negative comments on the internet, and asks them: why did you write that?

In our conversation with Dylan, we played a clip from episode 2 of Conversations With People Who Hate Me. In that episode, Dylan talks with a high school student named Josh, who’d sent him homophobic messages online. This week, we're airing that full episode — the full conversation between Dylan Marron and Josh.

If you didn’t hear our episode with Dylan, do give it a listen. Then, enjoy this second episode of Conversations With People Who Hate Me.
