TTOFS EP 85: The Hate (feat. Cam Cronin)

Try This On For Size Pod

Welcome back to Try This On For Size, Episode 85, “The Hate.” We swear this topic is less depressing than it sounds, most notably because we welcome FIRST-TIME guest, Cam Cronin, to the pod!! In this episode, Cam starts us off with a story from his childhood (0:30) before we share the different ways we all met (2:45) (Note: This was very name drop-y for our BC folks, but Jim makes a confession at the 9:00 mark that is worth it). We then dive into our main topic, hate, by first discussing where it is showing up for us currently (10:30). Incidentally, we also discuss whether hate is just sustained anger (14:00), definitions of hate (16:45), what puts people on a path to hate (23:15), overregulation and catharsis (28:30), innate hatred (35:45), whether hate is an emotion (41:30), and the utility of hate and what it has wrought (45:15). Of course, before we get too negative, we close out with what we are Trying on For Size in our “Dressing Room” (47:15). As always, send us your feedback!
