Episode description

Jonny puts into dialogue examples of state sanctioned censorship and examples of so-called "Cancel Culture." He reviews a School Board banning the teaching of Art Spiegelman's Maus, Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill, a Mississippi mayor withholding library funds until the public library removes LGBTQ content, and a Georgia elementary school where the principal removed rainbow-themed art created by a student proclaiming "Gay is Okay" by comparing it to the Nazi Flag. He then contrasts these stories with artists leaving the Spotify platform in protest of the Joe Rogan podcast and the ways it spreads false information about CoVid as well as transphobic content.
