Show Notes
Today's episode features David Beckemeyer discussing tribal identity and the outrage it brings. David is a bridge-builder and host of the "Outrage Overload" podcast. David and I consider topics as far afield as social media detox, street epistemology, and libraries lousy with drag queens.
