About this listen

We all have rage, and if you don’t think you have it, don’t worry we’ll help you find it. And once you find it, we’ll also help you deal with it. This podcast is the intersection of all the life things (family, love, politics, sports, driving, loud chewing) and rage. Hosted by comedians Tara Erickson and Ebar, they talk to guests (ranging from neuroscientists to divorce experts to athletes to a neighbor) about how rage factors into their various areas of expertise. When they’re not doing that, they’re listening to calls from the rage hotline, screaming into a pillow or checking in with the show’s producer Friendy Wende who’s likely telling them to move on.

    Breakup Rage: Why It Hurts & What Not to Do
    Apr 29 2026

    Breakups are hard, sometimes weird and awkward, even the amicable ones. And everyone has been unhinged over one. If not, congrats, you're perfectly actualized and we would like your recipe for existence. This episode, we talk rage over being blindsided, not being listened to for the 800th time, or being accused of emotional warfare you had no idea about. Along with getting into our own breakup rage, we also explore the science behind why it literally hurts and review some do's and don'ts.

    Miscommunication Rage
    Apr 15 2026

    Miscommunication is basically a personality trait at this point. People say they want honest communication, but do they really? This episode is a full rant on bad communication, wild assumptions, and how people will literally ruin a relationship instead of asking one clear question.

    Relationship Rage
    Apr 1 2026

    How do we make romantic relationships work? Does it matter if they snore? (Yes). Does it matter if your cat hates them? (Also, yes.) We get into the nuance of committed relationships and what works for us and what doesn't, what we can live with and what we can't and how Tara might marry you, but she will never, under any circumstance, live with you.
