Summary

Note: This episode was actually recorded for my other podcast, Problematic. But I originally recorded the conversation when, for a short time, my podcasts were merged. So don't let the outtro confuse you!

Today I’m sharing my conversation with Seerut Chawla. We talk about her brief foray into cancelling someone on the internet, her change of heart, and both of our experiences waking up to the insanity and cult dynamics of cancel culture… It’s a good one!

THANKS! BYE! HAPPY BELATED MEMORIAL DAY AND/OR HAPPY TUESDAY

0:54.5	And the windows are open and you may even be able to hear the ocean and the ice cream guy with his little ice cream bell.
1:06.2	And the birds.
1:08.0	I don't know what you're hearing.
1:10.0	I'll have to listen back and hear what you're hearing,

1:24.1	talk all about her foray into canceling people and then her change of heart.
1:30.5	And both of our experiences kind of navigating this very intense, very culty, some call it woke world on the internet and how we've tried to kind of get ourselves out of that.
1:46.9	She has a very unique experience and perspective on all of this.
1:52.6	And I think you're really going to love, I think you're really going to love her.
1:57.2	And I think you're going to like the conversation.
