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 actual... more

    This is one of those podcasts people talk about when they say not everyone should have a microphone.

    I tried to get into it thinking it would be informative and worthwhile, but I was sorely mistaken.

    Katelyn Burns is even worse on social media than she is on her podcast. The way she responds to criticism is… well, it’s something.

    You’ll often see her on the “wrong side” of issues especially if any of her friends are involved. At the end of the day, she’d rather defend people she knows than s... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Right-Wing Media Is Dying (But Don't Celebrate Yet) (ft. Parker Molloy)
Q: Parker, what do you think is driving the drop in right-wing media viewership and how does this relate to the broader media ecosystem?
It's a combination of audience saturation, the migration to clip culture, and the reality that billionaires and big tech are reshaping what gets promoted. Traditional outlets struggle to stay relevant when younger audiences prefer quick, incendiary clips from independent creators who bypass legacy institutions.
The Onion Bought InfoWars. Now What? (ft. Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion)
Q: Why did it take a comedy company to bring down Alex Jones?
Because mainstream media had largely treated Jones as a subject rather than a threat, and the Onion could leverage satire, scale, and a different kind of narrative power to counter his influence and expose the business model behind his disinformation.
The Onion Bought InfoWars. Now What? (ft. Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion)
Q: Can you sort of give us a TLDR of how this takeover came about?
A combination of opportunistic asset auctions and strategic decision-making within The Onion led to bidding on Infowars' assets after recognizing the IP and brand value, with the aim of disrupting the extremist ecosystem by turning a provocative asset into satire and counter-programming rather than letting it continue unchallenged.
Epstein, Me Too, and the Justice We Never Got (ft. Lyz Lenz)
Q: What can we do to get justice for victims in light of the Epstein case?
Justice for victims involves listening to their stories and changing the systems that contributed to their victimization, rather than solely seeking punitive measures for perpetrators.
Can Free Speech Survive the Charlie Kirk Backlash? (ft. Kat Tenbarge)
Q: How do we, in your mind, get to a point where we can both dial down the temperature and actively respond to the quite frankly insane ideas coming out of the right right now?
There needs to be a balancing act of maintaining empathy while also holding individuals accountable for their harmful rhetoric and actions.
