Apple Podcasts5kathazellAustralia4 months ago - Anatomy of Cancellation is Brilliant
This is so so good. My favorite podcast that I’ve listened to in the new year. I would love this same format/journalist applied to other cancellation stories. Actually manages to really allow the nuance and complexity to stand and fact check the people speaking. I feel like it is what The Witch Trials of JK Rowling was pretending to do but failed, but here they really succeed as journalist approaches it with a real honesty.
