Why does it feel so hard to have a conversation across political, cultural, racial, or religious differences today?
In this episode of Rhythm & Roam with Benefsheh, Paul, & Trecia sit down with David Beckemeyer, host of the Outrage Overload podcast, for a candid conversation about American polarization, outrage culture, media literacy, and the human stories hidden behind the labels we use for one another.
David has spent years listening to both experts and everyday people about the forces that keep us divided. Together, we unpack the isolation problem, the danger of political caricatures, the growing fact gap, self-censorship, and the powerful incentives behind the "business of outrage."
But this is not just a conversation about what divides us. It is also about what remains possible when we choose curiosity over contempt, conversation over assumptions, and shared humanity over stereotypes.
