Patrons Only: The Washington Post Drags Us Down To A New Cancel-Culture Hell
Did you hear the one about the woman no one's heard of who wore an offensive Halloween costume back in 2018? You have now! Thanks, Washington Post. After doing shoutouts for their Permabanned patrons, Jesse and Katie discuss arguably the most indefensible journalism-led cancellation in recent memory, and debate consequences for the reporters and editors involved: perhaps a BAR-oriented re-education camp? There are no bad ideas in podcasting. (Katie's audio is slightly wonky at first but, worry not, resolves itself not long into the episode.)
