Episode Details

Matt Kibbe sits down with U.K.-based rapper Zuby to talk about coronavirus lockdowns in Britain, cancel culture, censorship, and the role of the arts in speaking truth to power. As bad as things have been in the U.S., Britain lacks a Bill of Rights and has a more centralized government, meaning that musicians and artists are even more afraid to speak out against the political class and stand up for free expression. The threat of cancellation helps keep performers silent even as lockdowns cost them their livelihoods.
