Facebook, the greatest double-edged sword of 21st-century communication, brings people together and divides them all at the same time. For author and comedian Marklyn Johnson, Facebook is a vehicle for honest discussion. But it turns out "real talk" has real consequences. His new book, Facebook Conversations: The Good, The Funny, The Ugly, is a collection of discussions on every current issue we care about. Marklyn navigates the topics, some of which meander from thoughtful discourse to sheer verbal abuse. It's a high-energy read and in this episode, I talk to him about why he does it, his opinion on why people post on social media and his plan to bring veterans along for the comedy ride.
