The pearl clutching about “cancel culture” and “censorship” has become louder and more absurd while also getting more and more play in the media.

    Epstein, Me Too, and the Justice We Never Got (ft. Lyz Lenz)

    How deep does the media’s complicity go? In this episode of Cancel Me, Daddy, Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi unpack the disturbing connection between the "Shitty Media Men" list, the MeToo movement, and the recently released Epstein files. While the world focuses on the spectacle, we dig into the systems that allowed abuse to thrive. We explore how names on the infamous 2017 "Shitty Media Men" spreadsheet—originally created to warn women about harassment and assault—surfaced years later in the Department of Justice's redacted Epstein list. In this episode we cover: -Why the Epstein survivors still haven't found justice -Lyz's own harrowing story of sexual harassment from a man who ended up in the Epstein files -What happens to women who become known for being victims of the men who they speak up against Featuring Guest: Lyz Lenz, author and host of the “Dingus of the Week” newsletter, joins us to discuss the bleak reality of seeking justice and why we need to stop asking "why didn't they speak up?" and start asking "why didn't we listen?"

    BONUS: Colbert's FFC Tala-RICO Investigation

    When CBS legal tried to kill Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico, they cited the FCC’s "equal time" rule. But instead of scrapping the segment, The Late Show pulled a strategic pivot that exposed the emptiness of legacy media gatekeeping: they dropped the entire uncensored interview on YouTube. In this episode, Katelyn and Christine unpack how corporate anxiety over Brendan Carr’s FCC is already shaping what you see on TV—and how Colbert’s move to bypass broadcast standards didn't just save the interview, it likely gave Talarico a bigger platform than the network ever could. We dig into: Why CBS lawyers are terrified of the "Equal Time" rule under a Trump administration. The history of the "news exemption" and why late-night shows are the new battleground. How moving content to YouTube strips away the "sanitized" framing required by broadcast TV. Why this moment proves that the future of progressive media criticism isn't on cable—it's online.

    Cancel Culture: The Lie That’s Making Media Grifters Rich (ft. Former Co-Host Oliver)

    It is Cancel Me, Daddy’s fifth anniversary! This week, former co-host Oliver joins Katelyn and Christine to discuss all the panic around cancel culture. Oliver and Katelyn pinpoint how they defined cancellation when the podcast started in 2021 and what has and hasn’t changed about it over the past five years. Some of the very same “cancellation grifters”—Bari Weiss, Dave Chappelle, and J.K. Rowling—from the show’s earlier days are still profiting from their so-called cancellation[s]. They’ve evolved into what Katelyn and Christine call “media villains,” which exist within the show’s increasingly focused media and politics lens. Oliver, Katelyn, and Christine scrutinize the cancellation-to-grift pipeline with the show’s trademark wit. Come celebrate five years of thoughtful analysis and verbal shitposting!

    BONUS: The Melania Flop

    Thank you so much for supporting the show! It's been an amazing 5 years! In this Bonus Ombudsmom Corner, Katelyn and Christine chat about the Melania documentary flopping, the leaked audio of Erika Kirk being almost gleeful about the money her husband's memorial service made for her, whether we need to do an Erika Kirk episode in the future, and the funny (and fake) Usha Vance couch meme.

    How ICE Turns Protest Into a Battlefield (ft. Jamelle Bouie)

    You can’t log onto social media or otherwise tune into the news without witnessing extremely disturbing images of masked federal agents assaulting and arresting people in Minneapolis. We’re talking bystanders, legal observers, passerbys, immigrants, citizens—everyone in ICE’s wake. This week, Katelyn and Christine welcome New York Times opinion columnist Jamelle Bouie to the pod. Jamelle’s work centers on history and racial politics. From the George Floyd uprisings to today’s violent campaign against undocumented immigrants and anyone who happens to get caught up in an assault or arrest, he brings moral clarity into focus. Katelyn, Christine, and Jamelle discuss how 19th century slave patrols became modern-day policing and the military-industrial complex led to the militarization of modern-day police—with the intent of suppressing free speech. It’s time to cancel—and abolish—ICE.

    Bonus: Patreon Bonus: Heated Rivalry, ICE and Birthright Citizenship, and the Media's Davos-Trump Fail

    When we started recording this segment, we weren't expecting to bring up Heated Rivalry at all, but it was top of mind for both of us. This week we talk about the lack of right wing backlash to the show. Katelyn talks about why the Birth Right Citizenship case before SCOTUS terrifies her regarding the future of ICE, and we talk about how the national centrist media resumed its position in the cuck chair as Trump stormed Davos embarrassing the US and overturning the post-WW2 world order.

    They Screamed “Cancel Culture” — Then Went Silent While Trump Gutted Free Speech (ft. Parker Molloy)

    Was the Harper’s “free speech” letter really about defending open debate—or about protecting powerful media elites from criticism and consequences? In this episode, we expose how the Harper’s letter, its transphobic signers, and the larger “cancel culture” panic helped shield figures like J.K. Rowling and Bari Weiss while the real threats to free speech exploded under Trump. More than 150 journalists, authors, and academics signed the infamous “Harper’s letter” in 2020. Published in Harper’s Magazine amid the George Floyd racial justice protests, the letter argued that the more serious threat to the nation was “an intolerance of opposing views, a vogue for public shaming and ostracism, and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty”—aka “cancel culture.” At the time, trans people were some of the letter’s biggest critics, highlighting its bigoted dog whistles. The letter’s signatories include a who’s who of transphobia, from Bari Weiss to J.K. Rowling. This week, writer Parker Molloy joins Katelyn and Christine to discuss how this so-called free speech crisis transformed how elite media covers—and protects—itself, from 2020 to today.

    BONUS: Matt Taibbi Sued a Writer to "Defend Free Speech." He's Full of Shit.

    Matt Taibbi is suing journalist Eoin Higgins for “defamation” — and calling it a win for free speech. 🤔So what does it mean when a self-branded anti-censorship crusader turns to the courts to shut up a critic? In this segment, we break down:• Why Taibbi says this lawsuit is about protecting free speech• What the actual defamation claims are — and what they reveal about power, reputation, and platform access• How this fits into a bigger pattern of “free speech” warriors punching down instead of up Then we zoom out to the global stage: • Venezuela: how war, sanctions, and U.S. narratives shape what you’re allowed to think about “democracy” and “regime change”• Trump’s Greenland threats: the absurd imperial fantasy that corporate media treated like a joke instead of a warning sign• The Grok porn scandal: what an AI meltdown tells us about tech billionaires, moderation theater, and who really gets punished online
