switch don pop is a weekly history podcast from cafe and the vox media podcast network. This week we explore free speech, censorship of the press and so called cancel culture. The first episode focuses on government restrictions on the free speech of individual American citizens. Our second episode will look at how access to a free press is central to american democracy, except when it isn't. And our final instalment will explore the idea of cancel culture and how it does and doesn't involve fundamental questions of free speech.
It’s not just Johnny Depp’s fans — it’s Amber Heard’s anti-fans, too. The Atlantic's Kaitlyn Tiffany explains the Depp-ressing social media hate campaign.
This episode was produced by Amina Al-Sadi with help from Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
