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.

People expect a LOT at the holidays whether they realize it or not. And we're not just talking about the perfect cranberry mold. We're also talking about emotional mold. On this Rage Pod episode, we get into why tiny disappointments feel so much bigger this time of year, why Ebar thinks you should replace your pepper spray for ice skates, and why we keep giving Thanksgiving way more emotional weight than it deserves.

I love traveling for Thanksgiving… said no one stuck in TSA lines, budgeting for airfare, or emotionally preparing to sleep in their childhood twin bed under a crocheted afghan of generational trauma. We’re unpacking the true cost of Thanksgiving: financial, emotional, and gastrointestinal, not excluding one Rage Hotline caller’s horrifying tale of turkey-induced salmonella and what we can only imagine ended with...

We’re back with neuroscientist Dr. Nicole Tetreault, who explains how to literally get rage out of your body without losing your mind. Everyone’s anger looks different and so does everyone’s release. You might find that smashing a bunch of sh*t in a rage room is your nervous system’s best therapy.

Just know if you're going to do anything in a group (vacations, dinners, projects), people are going to get irritable. Even if it's a success! That's just part of it. Nothing provokes rage faster than planning a group event with friends or family. Whether it's fly fishing on the coast or vacationing in an Italian villa, the following will emerge: the non-responder, the bossy decider, the one who wants to split the bill ten ways, an...
Sometimes you gotta get that D. Marriages and unions don't always work out and you need to get a divorce. 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!)
