Dylan Marron is an award-winning writer & producer. For five years he hosted and produced Conversations with People Who Hate Me, a podcast where he called up the people behind negative comments on the internet. The show was selected as a Podcast Pick by USA Today & The Guardian, named "the timeliest podcast" by FastCompany, and won a Webby Award. Dylan’s TED Talk, “Empathy is Not Endorsement,” has been viewed millions of times worldwide.
Dylan’s book Conversations with People Who Hate Me was hailed by the Associated Press as “a fascinating meditation on human connection and on finding common ground with people you never thought possible.” It was published by Atria, a division of Simon & Schuster, and is in bookstores now.
Dylan is also an alum of the New York Neo Futurists theater company (Drama Desk nom.) and the creator of Every Single Word (Tumblr's "Most Viral Blog" of 2015; Shorty Award nominee), a video series that edits down popular films to only feature the words spoken by people of color.
He recently joined the writing staff of Ted Lasso and just released a six-episode audio documentary called The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks which is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
