Hurty Words (with Stewart Lee)
Why are 'free speech absolutists' so keen to silence dissenting voices? Is censorship back? And what is 'consequence culture'?
Stewart Lee returns to the show, to join Armando in discussing 'hurty words'.
With Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, and in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, free speech is in the spotlight again. Those who railed against 'cancel culture' are now getting into 'consequence culture'. We also discuss how Marvel's superheroes might respond to the actions of their new owners, and whether you can pray in your own homes in this country anymore (spoiler alert, you can).
