Description
On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… main character syndrome.
As concerts and movie theaters have roared back to life this summer, so has a disturbing trend: bad behavior. You’ve seen the videos, probably — picking fights with neighbors, throwing things onstage, and taking videos during Barbie.
Some of these behaviors have higher stakes than others, obviously. But it’s clear that we’re in a new frontier of public behavior… and that it might be more difficult, and more dangerous, to chide our neighbors.
Freelance writer Sara Stewart joins us to argue that times have changed… and it’s time for venues to step up.
