HATE (n): intense animosity or dislike
A controversial radio DJ... A husband and wife at a therapy session... The fans of a soap opera... The passengers on a London bus...
What do they hate? And what does that hate breed?
Quartet: Hate - Four writers. Four actors. Four stories.
Hate Radio by Nick Myles
Welcome to the world of Dexter Amigo, a professionally loathsome talk radio shock jock luxuriating in spitefulness and devoid of conscience.
Claws by Aaron Lamont
Always whining, always shitting, always pissing - what will John do with that I need to stop swearing cat...?

Actor Paul Dowell becomes the most hated man on television while playing the part of a villain in a soap. Playing a part, Paul, you're playing a part...
Vigilante by Guleraana Mir
Amina's sick of everyday racism and Islamophobia. She's got a plan that involves a mate, a costume and some dodgy accents. She's even planning on live streaming the whole thing. What could possibly go wrong?
