The Rage Pod

The Rage Pod

We all have rage, and if you don’t think you have it, don’t worry we’ll help you find it. And once you find it, we’ll also help you deal with it. This podcast is the intersection of all the life things (family, love, politics, sports, driving, loud chewing) and rage. Hosted by comedians Tara Erickson and Ebar, they talk to guests (ranging from neuroscientists to divorce experts to athletes to a neighbor) about how rage factors into their various areas of expertise. When they’re not doing that, they’re listening to calls from the rage hotline, screaming into a pillow or checking in with the show’s producer Friendy Wende who’s likely telling them to move on.

In this week's episode, Ebar and Tara talk to Alex Beattie, a divorce prep coach and founder of The Divorce Planner, who has helped thousands of people prepare in advance of divorce so they save time and money and walk away with confidence instead of rage. Also Ebar and Tara get a divorce and it involves Victor Hugo.

Why should we care about male loneliness? Because spoiler alert: it's not just a "him" problem. Loneliness doesn't care about your gender. Just like rage, it comes for all of us. In this episode, we seek a path toward herd immunity for the so-called "male loneliness epidemic" and gently (ok, not so gently) encourage men of a certain age to F.I.T.F.O. (Figure It The F*ck Out!)
