The Snarky Empath - Podcast

The Snarky Empath

Formerly Bryar Patch Media, we used to host the 5 star rated The Bryar Patch & Surviving Empathy Podcast. After hundreds of episodes & a family health scare, we went on hiatus and retooled things to include a YouTube channel. We're all about kindness & forward thinking values, robust living, good mental health, social issues and social justice, as well as pop culture, #nerdlife and #spookylife, and thriving in uncertain times. We basically talk about anything & everything relevant in our culture and times today. Hopeful believers, we're paranormal curious and sometimes talk about ghosts, cryptids, and all weird phenomenon because it's just fun. As "empaths," we just want the world to function for regular people, and for the hate and dysfunction be replaced with peace, joy, and normalcy. Good grief, who's got time for all that cultural hate and nonsense?! This show is about self discovery and unleashing our potential as human beings, and enjoying this short but sweet life we are given.
