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 Oliver-Ash Kleine 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.

    Canceling Anti-Fat Medical Institutions (ft. Da'Shaun L. Harrison)

    Recent guidance has come out recommending children have surgery or go on drugs to lose weight. Why is this a problem and what's the history behind anti-fat politics in America? Katelyn and Oliver sit down with writer, journalist and theorist Da'Shaun Harrison to explore these questions and learn about how anti-fatness is rooted in and inextricable from anti-blackness. Da'Shaun is the author of Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-fatness as Anti-Blackness and Editor-at-Large of Scalawag Magazine.

    For our two year anniversary, we're of course canceling the bad wizard game with very special guest, gaming journalist Ana Valens.

Plus, Oliver opens up about why you've been hearing them less during interviews before cancelling gold start discourse, JAQ-ing off, AI and sharing their deepest fears about our incoming dolphin overlords.

    We're back and up to our usual hijinks! In this episode, Katelyn delves into this past weekend's transphobic article in the New York Times with the newly declared mascot of the show, Michael Hobbes. The two discuss this year's slew of anti-trans articles at various publications, why this disinformation keeps getting elevated and the concerning lack of trans voices in media. Plus, we cancel paperwork, bosses and Katelyn for making the worst joke in all of history at the end of out of context cancellations.
