Dylan Marron Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Dylan Marron is a writer and content creator known as the host and producer of the critically-acclaimed podcast Conversations with People Who Hate Me and as a writer for the hit series Ted Lasso. Conversations with People Who Hate Me is a social experiment that brings together adversarial internet strangers through phone calls, which inspired his TED Talk, "Empathy is Not Endorsement,” viewed by millions. With the success of the podcast, Dylan turned the experience into a book, Conversations with People Who Hate Me: 12 Things I Learned from Talking to Internet Strangers, about finding common ground with people you never thought possible.

Dylan Marron is an IFP Gotham Award & Drama Desk-nominated writer, performer, and video maker. He is the voice of Carlos on the hit podcast Welcome to Night Vale, an alum of the New York Neo Futurists, 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. As a writer & correspondent at Seriously.tv Dylan created, hosted, and produced Sitting in Bathrooms with Trans People, Shutting Down Bullsh*t, and the Unboxing series. He hosts & produces Conversations with People Who Hate Me, a podcast where he calls up the people behind negative comments on the internet. It was selected as a Podcast Pick by USA Today & The Guardian, named "the timeliest podcast" by FastCompany, and won a Webby Award. Dylan recently gave a TED Talk and is currently writing Snowflake, a book about empathy on the internet, difficult conversations, and wielding softness as strength. Snowflake will be published by Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster with an anticipated release of Spring 2020.
