Ali’s on a mission to understand what’s up with this “cancel culture” thing and she has lots of questions: what the hell is it, where did it come from, is this a bigger social problem than we realize and perhaps most importantly, Is Cancel Culture Killing Comedy? Internet culture reporter Aja Romano tackles the social piece and then award-winning kickass comedienne Amy Schumer shares her point of view about cancel culture in the comedy world. They cover the growing pains of learning to be an ally, past mistakes, the best of what comedy offers people and why Amy is not afraid of being canceled when she gets on that stage.
