5. Have We Forgotten How to Disagree with Each Other?

from Deviants · host Nyla Khan and Cole Paulson

In a world where political disagreement can feel like living in completely different realities, curiosity is becoming a lost skill.What happens when we stop trying to win conversations and start trying to understand them? Drawing on Cole’s “News Swap” experiment with his conservative brother, Nyla and Cole unpack how algorithms, outrage, and purity tests are quietly eroding our ability to stay connected across difference.The challenge: learning how to disagree without shaming, withdrawing, or losing our humanity — in dating, families, friendships, and anywhere intimacy meets conflict.A conversation about curiosity, containment, and what it really takes to stay in relationship when you don’t agree.Listen to all three "News Swap" conversations between Cole and his brother here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/news-swap/id1834581051https://open.spotify.com/show/6ncfiIkr2gjyzJkbkhtU9N?si=50ae53731d3a4cc9

Girls On Guys All Things Comedy Comedian Nina Tarr is completely unqualified to give sex and relationship advice. Her guests aren’t much better. A podcast where stand-up comedians, sex workers and various deviants, share stories while trying to offer dating advice based on their own positive and/or nightmarish experiences. So buckle up to hear hot takes from a room of lovable degenerates.  Like Minded Deviants Dr. Lindy Backues, Justin Stewart-Fritz, Jon-Michael Odean Like-Minded Deviants with Dr. Lindy Backues, Jon-Michael Odean, and Justin Stewart-Fritz is a podcast that seeks to deviate from the norm. As two of Lindy’s former graduate students, Justin and Jon-Michael bring an extended friendship with him cultivated over years, enriched by their present ministries, life as educators, a good dose of grassroots practitioning, and deep respect as close friends and colleagues. Each week these three come prepared to engage in a provocative conversation. A conversation that intentionally and sometimes irreverently unpacks events and ideas plucked from newspapers and headlines, unashamedly channeling these conversations through a theologically jarring lens.
