    322. How Much Cancel Culture Lives in All of Us?
    Nov 5 2025
    Nearly all of us say we hate cancel culture, but in this episode, I explore the possibility that maybe we like it a little bit more than we let on. What happens when all or nothing combines with a dislike of being questioned? Often, we engage in a mini version of cancel culture. That is to say, we stop talking to the person because we don’t like something that they said about something we believe. What is the long-term effects of that? Let’s find out in this episode together. Episode 322 of The Joe Martino Show is live.

    317: How Do We Talk To Ourselves When It Isn't Working?

    Date night at Costco. Yep, you read that right. While strolling the aisles of free samples and bulk toilet paper, my wife and I watched a dad trying—really trying—to parent gently. It sparked a bigger conversation: when does gentle parenting cross the line into ineffective parenting? And what does that reveal about the way we talk to ourselves when what we’re doing isn’t working? If you have kids, this episode is sure to spark some conversation and thought for you. Don’t have kids? There’s plenty here for you too.

    316. Want Real Conversations Again? Try the Rule of Three
    Sep 17 2025
    Civil discourse feels harder to find every day. Last week, a prominent conservative figure was executed, and what troubled me most were the responses that followed. Not long ago, a young woman was murdered on public transportation, and the government tried to cover it up—afraid of how the public might respond. This episode isn’t about reliving those events. It’s about what they reveal: how quickly respectful conversation breaks down and how much we need to reengage across our differences. In Episode 315 of The Joe Martino Show, I share how we can get back to real dialogue by using the Rule of Three. My hope is to give you practical tools to talk with people you disagree with—without shouting, canceling, or walking away. If you’re tired of polarization and want to know how to have healthier, more constructive conversations, this episode is for you.
