Why We Need the Cringe

In today’s podcast:

I’m stepping up to the mic to expand on yesterday’s post about why we shouldn’t sanitize our literary past.

  • The Internet Magnifier: Why our modern “purity tests” aren’t actually new, but how the internet has turned human hypocrisy into selective outrage.

  • Cringe Culture: A look at how my 19-year-old son’s generation intersects with this hyper-filtered world.

  • The Map: Why leaving the cringy crap on the page is the only way to prove we are actually evolving as a species.
