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.

Comedian Josh Gondelman was surprised to learn that he’s married to famous singer-songwriter Fiona Apple. After all, he’d just celebrated his eighth wedding anniversary with his wife, author Maris Kreizman. But Google’s AI summary of Josh’s personal life essentially scraped his professional Internet presence and misinterpreted the “data” from an old standup bit and a 2020 tweet. With big tech companies pushing AI into seemingly everything these days, what lessons can we learn from this massive, yet very funny error?
This week, Katelyn and Christine reunite! in! person! for a sit-down with Josh at Multitude Productions’ NYC recording studio. How can we protect our livelihoods and our lives from AI-ification? Katelyn, Christine, and Josh discuss how people like us can beat the machines.
