In the mr redder podcast, a voice actor reads social media posts out loud. For every episode, the host selects submissions from listeners to read. The submissions come from the social media platform Reddit. In the "Am I the Jerk?" subreddit, people tell stories and ask other readers to determine who was in the wrong. In "Entitled Parents," Redditors share tales of brazen selfishness. Redditors who post in "Malicious Compliance" explain how they exposed silly rules. The host, in his best TikTok-style voice, reads the story out loud.
Podcast listeners hear stories of people who get their comeuppance for their poor behavior. Mr redder is quite fond of the term "Karen," and titles every episode with it, even when it's not used in the original story. One neighbor tries to convince landscapers to clear her yard of leaves for free. A coworker loses her job for cleaning up a neighboring cubicle. A young woman gets evicted for hitting on someone's boyfriend. A customer complains that an item is too expensive.
Mr redder is true to the original, reading word for word. Like on Reddit, the settings are mundane and the events are common. Listeners might enjoy the host's exaggerated singsong in this podcast. It has the unexpected effect of bringing out the ridiculous in every story.
On the computer screen, the tales are righteous. After the mr redder treatment, they become outrageous narratives, like low-budget soap operas. People who enjoy feeding on outrage might also enjoy this podcast. The "Karen" is always evil, and the writer is always an innocent victim. Episodes last about thirty minutes. Each episode contains three stories.
