No this isn't an interview with One Republic, this is our follow up to our Cancel Culture episode. Can people redeem themselves from being “cancelled” by an apology? Are their actions enough? Or are they too far off the edge to be forgiven? Maybe there isn’t an answer, but damn we sure do try to attack this not so black and white subject.

In this episode we cover several sensitive topics like police brutality and eating disorders. These are honest and important conversations that may be triggering for some listeners. Our hot topic this week took us into a deeper conversation of the responsibility of our voices, of our addictions, and what lies underneath them.
