The Hate Napkin Promo

Listen to episodes on AnchorFM at https://anchor.fm/thehatenapkin or search THE HATE NAPKIN on any podcast platform including Apple and Spotify.   

“THE HATE NAPKIN” is a humorous, weekly podcast featuring former congressional candidate and author ARIK BJORN, pop culture guru GARRETT KELLERHALS, and journalist PAULY FROM BALI. Also, the crew is joined from time to time by veteran radio and social media personality CARLA FROM BURNT CORN, ALABAMA.  

Years ago, author Arik Bjorn was sitting at the kitchen table, when he totally lost it. He started shouting all the things he hated. His roommate, Garrett Kellerhals, was in stitches. He recognized an opportunity to catch rage in a bottle: “Just grab a pen and start writing it all down!”  Bjorn reached out for a napkin and start scrawling everything that rubbed him wrong: from Tom Cruise to the pass interference penalty to cartoons to Colby-Jack cheese. For the next 15 years, Bjorn and Kellerhals continued to debate things that belong on THE HATE NAPKIN.   

All the while, Kellerhals became an increasing fan of podcasts, recommending many to Bjorn, who mocked the medium and threatened to add podcasts to THE HATE NAPKIN. But then Bjorn realized that THE HATE NAPKIN itself would make a terrific podcast. They recruited Asian expat Pauly from Bali because they desperately needed a decent sound engineer.   

The concept of THE HATE NAPKIN is simple: the pleasurable release of creative hate. The podcast details the things that are plain and simple idiotic about our world and lives; it’s also a show where serious subjects are sliced in half by banana peel opinions. 

Why not call out Drake for sounding like a Muppet, or gauge the civilization of entire geographic regions based on whether they allow people to wear shoes indoors (and trample chlamydia all over the carpet)?  

Each week, THE HATE NAPKIN hosts a ribald celebration of THE JOY OF HATE.
