Summary

Dylan moderates a conversation between two strangers who clashed online. Marcia is a stand up comedian and proud feminist who frequently writes things like “men are scum” on social media and Andrew is an “anti-feminist” who reached out to Marcia to call her a “bigot.” In this episode the two of them speak on the phone together for the first time.

This is a teaser of a new format. New episodes begin April 2, 2018.
