Dave Nemetz is the founder of digital publications Bleacher Report and Inverse, both of which have been acquired. He's also a father to two kids he adores more than anything and got to spend way more time with during the pandemic than he might have bargained for. He even drove across the country with his family twice, though he admits his kids' nap time and modified screen time (on approved apps) are definitely sacred and very much needed. You can follow Dave on Twitter @davenemetz or read his essays and subscribe at davenemetz.con.

Intentionally Disturbing

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
