The pearl clutching about “cancel culture” and “censorship” has become louder and more absurd while also getting more and more play in the media. Journalists Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi see this panic for what it is though: a grift. They take a closer look at these temper tantrums, dispelling myths, laughing at the most outrageous takes, and shedding light on which perspectives are actually being suppressed and left out of the conversation.

In our first show, hosts Katelyn Burns and Oliver-Ash Kleine jump headfirst into the fray by poking holes in the right-wing panic over cancel culture after the insurrection on January 6 from lawmakers like Sen. Josh Hawley and Rep. Matt Gaetz. Plus, they discuss whether the firing of New York Times editor Lauren Wolfe over an innocuous tweet has anything to do with this whole cancel culture thing or not.
