Cancel Culture is the hot topic that seems to be in an endless cycle of debate, but that’s not why we’re here. To us, Cancel Culture is often the consequence of your actions, but unfortunately ‘Consequences’ isn’t as catchy.
This new scripted weekly podcast series is your one-stop shop to catch up on the full story of who, what, or where has been cancelled.
