Cancel culture and transgender politics with Graham Linehan

Season 2 Episode 36 Published 2 years ago
Description

When laughter turns to controversy, it's a thin line that few dare to tread. But Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan joins me to share his unfiltered perspective on the whirlwind of cancel culture that's ensnared him due to his anti-transgender activism.

We tackle the harsh realities of speaking out against popular opinion, the reverberations of which he likens to the backlash faced by gender-critical figures like Posey Parker. While diving into the complexities of free speech, we dissect contentious issues such as transgender athletes in women's sports, and safe spaces for females.

Graham also navigates the murky waters of the UK's legal landscape, its intersection with 'wokeism,' and the strain this places on both personal and professional spheres. 

Tune in for a bold and unfiltered examination of one of today's most contentious cultural battles.
