OUT NOW: The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks
It’s 1999, and sixteen years after its original release, a new Star Wars is finally coming. Fans have been camping out in front of theaters across the country just to be the first to see it. The beloved intergalactic saga is set to debut a slew of brand new characters, one of whom is a revolutionary CGI creation named Jar Jar Binks. Whispers begin to spread about big changes coming to the galaxy far, far away – and not everyone’s happy about it. Transcripts for The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks are available at go.ted.com/jarjar

NEW PODCAST: Introducing The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks
Jar Jar Binks became one of the most polarizing figures in cinematic history when he made his debut in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace in 1999. He was even named “the most annoying movie character of all time” by Complex Magazine. After the release, Ahmed Best, the man who played Jar Jar, was hit with the full force of the backlash — and it nearly destroyed him. The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks is a six-part journey through the early internet to understand how one of the first-ever online hate campaigns began, and to right what we got so wrong about Jar Jar the first time around. Coming June 28 from the TED Audio Collective. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

How to Be a Better Human
This is... NOT an episode of Conversations with People Who Hate Me. We're taking a week off, so instead we're sharing an episode of another podcast from the TED Audio Collective called How to Be a Better Human. It's a show hosted by comedian (and good friend of Dylan's) Chris Duffy, about how we can all learn to be a little less terrible. Dylan was interviewed by Chris last year and shares what he’s learned about apologies, forgiveness, and the benefits of taking the time to explore and establish our personal boundaries. If you want to hear more episodes, you can find and follow How to Be a Better Human wherever you're listening to this. And great news—they're hard at work on a new season and will be back weekly in June.

So good for my soul!
I have just found this podcast (thanks to Your Undivided Attention), and I am so looking forward to listening for many happy hours. I have been looking for different perspectives to help me better understand people whose lives are vastly different from mine. This podcast is stretching my mind.
I’m so grateful for Dylan and this podcast
I found this podcast two days ago and I have burned through about half of it already. I listen to podcasts while I fill orders for my etsy store and during the holidays, I basically work non-stop. This podcast has been great company, and it’s given me so much joy hearing two people with opposing views be civil and even kind to each other.
I’m guilty of feeling very emotional and angsty when I speak with someone who has opposing views, specifically politically. And on the 2020 Election Day, 3 out of my 4 best friends (including one who is basically a sister to me) told me they were supporting Trump. I felt like I’d been kicked in the gut. I’m a left-leaning lesbian who has spoken to them about politics many times over trump’s 4 years in office and I never imagined they would support him. They are all straight and it felt like an attack against the progressiveness that allows me and my partner to live openly and comfortably as a couple. I wound up handling it poorly and didn’t speak to my best friend for over 5 months.
My partner had a similar experience with her parents, and didn’t speak to them for several months because they voted for Trump. Thankfully she made up with her parents shortly before her mother passed away early this year. And that really put into perspective how we need to put our differences of opinion aside and remember to be kind to each other.
I want to see more good in the world. My partner and I make efforts to spread joy and connect deeply with other people where we can. But I honestly don’t think I’m capable quite yet of having this kind of conversation with someone who would support trump, reject the queer community, deny climate change, or take away women’s right to choose. That said, listening to Dylan and his guests’ conversations is certainly helping me feel less angst toward those with opposing views. It’s humanizing them and humbling me. And it’s giving me some vocabulary and tools that may come in handy the next time I encounter someone who challenges me on these controversial issues. So thank you Dylan. This podcast feels as though it is helping to smooth the sharp of edges of this divided society. At the very least, it’s making a difference for me. I’m really grateful for you and your work. Keep at it :)

Encouraged by your bravery.
As a young woman who identifies as queer, I find this podcast both educational & inspiring. I’ve recieved a lot of homophobia & sexual harassment because of my orientation. This show reminds me, that the people who are so easy to vilify are also, just people.
