All right, I'm Jack Greenlich.

I think you can listen to music from relaxing, to celebrating, to getting yourself prepared.

I like all sorts, honestly. I like hip-hop, R&B, and then house music as well.

So yeah, there's no guilt in places around here.

Jack wears the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra headphones, enjoying his favourite music,

with more immersive sounds than ever before.

Wow, the music's just everything, isn't it?

Search Bose headphones.

Bose, sound is power.

This is a word, a new podcast from Slate.

I'm your host, Jason Johnson.

Have you ever been canceled for using the wrong words, having the wrong ideas,

being racist when you didn't intend to be?

Often viewed as a weapon of the woke laugh,

cancel culture is now being criticised by everybody from centrist Democrats

to even some people who are occasionally called progressive.

If all you're doing is cast in stones,

you're probably not going to get that far.

Does cancel culture really out of hand?

Or is it just privileged people angry about the fact that they're suddenly being held accountable?

That's next, on a word.

With me, Jason Johnson.
