When was the last time you had beef with someone? Do you remember how it even started?

In our newest episode of We Disrupt This Broadcast––the podcast co-produced by Center for Media & Social Impact and the Peabody Awards––we sit down with Lee Sung Jin, creator and writer of the Netflix series BEEF, to explore the inner workings of this dark comedy currently in its second season. We also dive deeper into the self-destructive potential of letting resentment consume you and the dangers of channeling rage in the wrong direction.

Additionally, we speak with Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism, for added insights and context on how class inequality fuels beef among people wronged by the very system that oppresses them.
