Cancelled
Broccoli Productions
Cancel Culture is the hot topic that seems to be in an endless cycle of debate, but that’s not why we’re here. To us, Cancel Culture is often the consequence of your actions, but unfortunately ‘Consequences’ isn’t as catchy. This new scripted weekly podcast series is your one-stop shop to catch up on the full story of who, what, or where has been cancelled. We’re not here to judge or take ourselves too seriously and while some stories will have complicated themes that will leave us thinking, others will have us laughing out loud. Hosted by Leah Davis
Kate Forbes
On the 15th of February 2023, before a hastily assembled press pack, Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, informed Edinburgh - and the world - of her decision to resign after eight years in the post. The personal cost of political theatre had become all too high for the longest-serving first minister in Scotland’s history. Amidst the furore that descended upon the party, one forerunner in particular made waves: the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Economy, and the Member of the Scott

Alec Baldwin
How difficult is it to be damaged by the consequences of your own actions when you have power and profile to shield yourself from accountability? Case in point: Alec Baldwin. Over the years, the acclaimed actor has been emboriled in scandal after scandal — from tapes being released of Baldwin verbally abusing his daughter, to throwing around bigoted and racist slurs, and most recently, being at the helm of a film responsible for a woman's death. As this episode will delve into, legal and cultura

Balenciaga
In the spring of 2022, two Spanish towns were getting ready to celebrate one of their most famous sons. Hundreds – possibly thousands – of tourists would pack the usually sleepy streets of Javea and Getaria to visit temporary exhibitions displaying the finest haute couture. Intricate womenswear designs from the 40s, 50s and 60s, trimmed with the most luxurious lace, sequins and silk, creating intriguing feminine silhouettes that were considered revolutionary at the time. The occasion? The 50th a

James Corden
Celebrities can go from flavour of the month to persona non grata within minutes thanks to social media and a general shift towards more progressive views on accountability and responsibility. Few famous media and entertainment folk are as entrenched in this Camp of Public Hatred as Mr James Kimberley Corden. A renewed wave of anti-Cordenism hit last year after the actor-comedian-TV host was publically criticised by London-born restauranteur Keith McNally for his humourless treatment of staff at

Cosey Fanni Tutti
In late 1976, the Institute of Contemporary Art or ICA gallery in London unveiled its recent exhibition ‘Prostitution’, a retrospective group show by established art collective COUM-Transmissions. The collective, no stranger to confrontation, couldn’t have predicted the reaction their work would receive, but upon opening, the show was was immediately met with vitriolic reviews in the press, mentioned in the Houses of Parliament and censorship restrictions were placed on some of the pornographic

Ricky Gervais
This is the story of Ricky Gervais, a pioneer of sharp-elbowed comedy who decided to puncture his own legacy of speaking truth to power. In one fail swoop, catalysed by the release of his Netflix stand-up speical, SuperNature, Gervais made a series of jokes which could have been at home on a Republican conspiracy theorist's Twitter and annointed them comedy. In doing so, he exchanged a career's worth of political capital as someone who has ostensibly been a rock soild progressive, just for a cha

Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson — the TV motor man and newspaper columnist — was clearly feeling extra miserable last Christmas when he decided to pen one of the most offensive opinion pieces to ever grace a UK publication. An article so heinous that it not only helped unite the British public – a massive achievement in these divided times – it may well have cost him one of his biggest gigs. And all because he just had to let the world know he despises Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex... This episode was wri

Chris Brown
The American Music Awards, which have been running annually since 1974, occupy an illustrious spot within the American music industry. The AMAs sit within the Big Three music awards shows in the US, alongside the Grammys and the Billboard Music Awards. And so, it is little wonder that the cancellation of singer Chris Brown’s performance just a few days before the 2022 awards quickly became a big talking point. Infamy has cloaked the 33-year-old songwriter for over a decade as accounts of his vio

Virginia Woolf
In the first half of the 20th century the literary scene was dominated by now revered authors, whose books have since become classics. It reads like a roll call of greats - Ernest Hemingway, Marcel Proust, George Orwell, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, J.R.R Tolkein and, of course, Virginia Woolf, to name a few. Their books need no explanation. With a juggernaut of status behind them, these authors have outgrown their living credibility and become much bigger personalities since death. Time allows

Graham Norton
From radio show host to Eurovision commentator and best-selling author, Graham Norton is a household name in the UK - his position cemented by his irreverent, innuendo-laden style. He is, of course, most notable for his hugely popular comedy chat show which has seen all manner of celebrity names grace his plump red sofa. However, October 2022 saw a new term float into the lexicon used around the well-known TV presenter after he was posed questions on trans rights and author JK Rowling’s unrelent

Kathy Griffin
Some of the world’s best loved comedians have tiptoed on the edge of decency and political correctness from time to time. Take, for example, the acerbic wit of Joan Rivers, whose skits about the Holocaust regularly whipped her audiences into a tizzy and firmly established her as one of America’s sharpest mouthpieces. Before Perez Hilton blogged and mocked A-listers falling out of rehab, Joan was doing it on stage IRL. It may come as no surprise then, that the star of today’s episode, Kathy Griff

Baby it's Cold Outside
The year is 2004. George W. Bush is president, Britney is married to K-Fed, and the iPod Classic is the ultimate Christmas gift. But anyone about to upload Baby, It’s Cold Outside to their MP3 device might think twice after reading an article published by Canada’s National Post on December 20th, which argued for the song’s immediate ban from Canadian airwaves. Written by Rob McKenzie and Joe Bodolai for their humour column, the piece is widely regarded to be the first to publicly question some

Fairytale of New York
1987 is a pretty bleak Christmas. The year is marked by disasters. The British economy is wrecked. It is a time when everyone could use some yuletide joy. Challenged by their producer, Elvis Costello, to write a Christmas hit, the Irish-Anglo punk band The Pogues believe they are the ones to provide some egg-nog infused nourishment to the people. Fairytale of New York is what founding member, Jem Finer, and lead singer, Shane MacGowan come up with which will eventually be considered a holiday ha

Jade Goody
It’s January 2007: at least ten years before ‘cancel culture’ will become a part of our everyday life. The world is a less connected place. Twitter is yet to celebrate its first birthday. The iPhone is nothing but a rumour. Yet, we are about to witness cancellation on a global scale. In January, a new series of UK’s Celebrity Big Brother begins. On its third day, Jade Goody, a fan favourite from the civilian Big Brother House, enters. Over the next two weeks, her life changes forever, for a seco

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark
December 20th, 2010. It’s pitch black on-stage at the Foxwoods Theatre in Broadway. Stunt performer Chris Tierney attaches himself to a safety cable, and takes a deep breath. The centre of the stage lifts, creating a ramp. He’s done this many times before. Breathing out, he runs up the ramp and leaps from its edge. Immediately, it’s clear something is wrong. The cable hasn’t gone taut. There’s half a second as he floats in the air, realising that the other end of his safety line is unattached. T

Jimmy Carr
Sometimes, those who get cancelled predict their own fall. They tempt fate, because to risk cancellation usually means to incite infamy. Some look for hatred - and then brandish it as their weapon. Say or do something abhorrent, endure the criticism, and then cry that they’re under attack from the feral woke mob. But in the case of Jimmy Carr, it’s more complex. Comedy is always a dance with the devil. Sometimes, inevitably, you cross the line. To be a comedian is to be a shapeshifter - from en

X factor
“You’ve got 3 minutes to change your life”. This is the sentence that Simon Cowell used as words of encouragement to contestants of television singing contest, X Factor. With its title referring to star quality that you can’t quite put your finger on, the show vows to take ordinary, everyday people to the top of the music industry. For every rare appearance of a competitor praised as a superstar-in-the-making, there were thousands of wannabes who were mocked, ridiculed, and in some cases, had t

Abercrombie & Fitch
Originally founded in 1892 in New York City, by David T. Abercrombie, the fashion brand started as an outfitter for the elite outdoorsman. By the time we reach the 2000s, American mall culture is everything and Abercrombie & Fitch’s preppy clothes have morphed into the ultimate accessory for a US teen. After all, A&F aren’t just selling their customers apparel. The company's brand image is heavily promoted as a near-luxury lifestyle concept. For many teens desperate to fit in, donning any garmen

Jamie Lynn Spears
2007 was a hellish year for Britney Spears. It began with the breakdown of her marriage and culminated in a patchy buzzcut, stalking and public humiliation at the hands of the paparazzi, and a bitter custody battle. By the close of the year, she was widely reported to be no longer speaking to her family, an estrangement more significant for the fact that it was Britney’s success that lifted her family out of financial difficulty. The (celestial) stars were clearly not in alignment in 2007 for th

Blurred Lines
It’s 2013. Miley Cyrus has dramatically shed her Disney Channel persona with her hit track, Wrecking Ball. Daft Punk are dominating dancefloors worldwide with Get Lucky, and Beyoncé has broken all records by dropping a 14-track album with no advance warning. Despite all this, one song looms large over the year - dwarfing all that came before or after it. Its name? Blurred Lines. It’s a cultural flashpoint. The court of public opinion spins into overdrive, with the song’s creators Robin Thicke,

Sinéad O'Connor
At the beginning of the 90s, mainstream pop belonged to a handful of female artists; Madonna, Whitney and Mariah Carey all owned the airwaves with their provocative posturing and emotive power ballads which dominated the top 40 chart. Also emerging at this time, and striking a match amongst her contemporaries was the Irish singer songwriter Sinéad O’Connor. Sinead O’Connor broke the mould and the mainstream with her reworked version of Princes’ classic ‘Nothing Compares To You’. Her voice and im

H&M
Like most 21st century corporate crises, this one started with a tweet. On 8 January 2018, New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow took to Twitter to vent at H&M over their choice of model and product on their UK website. The model was Liam Mango, a Black boy. The product was a £7.99 hooded top emblazoned with the slogan ‘coolest monkey in the Jungle’ ‘@hm, have you lost your damned minds?!?!?!”, Charles digitally barked at the second-largest global clothing retailer. Cue the unholiest of backl

James Charles
James Charles felt, in a way, entirely original. And of course, for someone at the cutting edge of the internet, his cancellation had to feel unique too. Enter Tati Westbrook, James Charles (full name Dickinson) erstwhile mentor-turned-maker. A stalwart of the online beauty-influencer empire, a perceived slight on her honour led to influencer warfare - untrodden ground for which this conflict paved the way. Long before Oprah’s legendary “were you silent, or silenced” line came to prominence, the

In 2021, a record 493 new people became billionaires – on average there was a new billionaire created every 17 hours. Meanwhile in Britain, over the crisis, the poorest 30% of adults gained an average additional wealth of just £86, compared to £50,000 for the richest 10%. The rich have lined their already deep pockets further, while the poor have only gotten poorer. So, when multi-millionaires chime in with hot takes that essentially shame those on the losing end of wealth inequality for their l

JT Leroy
At the start of the millennium, Jeremiah Terminator Leroy or known simply as JT Leroy published his debut novel “Sarah”. Shortly afterwards, in 2001 a second book “The Heart is Deceitful Above all Things” was released to critical acclaim. As debuts go, Leroy’s books became an instant hit on both sides of the pond, and by 2004 had been published in over 20 different languages. His voice encapsulated a generation of kids, many of whom lived on the margins of society; queers, punks, freaks and sex

Kevin Hart
Although "The Slap Heard Around the World’ has secured the 94th Academy Awards’ place in the history books, the telecast had achieved momentous status before the cameras started rolling. For the first time, the Oscars had two African American celebrities co-host the awards in the same year – actress Regina Hall and comedian Wanda Sykes who now join Chris Rock in the hyper-exclusive club of African American Oscar hosts. You can count them on 1.5 hands. But one name that isn’t on this esteemed Bla

Jeremy Kyle
On May 10th, 2019, the final episode of The Jeremy Kyle Show aired. It was cancelled five days later, with all content wiped from streaming and catch-up services. But cross its 14 year run over one million people tuned in every day to watch its host, Jeremy Kyle, act as judge, jury and executioner over people’s personal traumas and crises. It was a circus of misery, and the public lapped it up. But what was going on behind the scenes? How did this show avoid cancellation for so many years? And,

Kate Clanchy
It’s January 2022. Demurely dressed, Kate Clanchy sits in the UnHerd studio, a platform that prides itself on ‘challenging the herd’. Why conservatives always try to frame themselves as courageous dissenters remains a mystery, but for now, it’s enough to know that they are all firmly rooting for Clanchy. Sat across from UnHerd’s executive editor, Freddie Sayers, Clanchy will pour her heart out to her white comrade in arms before it is uploaded to the platform’s YouTube as an exclusive. They wil

It’s hard to avoid the RuPaul’s Drag Race hype. The franchise seems to be constantly airing at least one of its {global spinoff series} at any one time, and the show has launched some hundreds of drag artists into mainstream success who enjoy fame and fortune and wield enormous influence. So what happens when Drag Race gives the power of that platform to someone who abuses it? In 2019, the show came under fire for casting Joey Gugliemelli, a [then-]28-year-old who performed as a drag queen named

Kevin Spacey
Kevin Spacey. The master of the Hollywood anti-hero. At the helm of some of the greatest cinematic achievements, from The Usual Suspects to American Beauty. That rare actor who imbued any character, no matter how grand, with a human frailty that made you root for him. And of course, that voice. On a par, surely, with Morgan Freeman’s, in terms of familiarity. His influence and sway permeated so thoroughly throughout his industry and beyond it, that the line between Kevin Spacey the actor, and Ke

“But it was supposed to be funny.” It’s an excuse we’ve ALL heard and probably used when we’ve been confronted by our past mistakes and gone immediately on the defensive. It’s easier than taking accountability sometimes. And that’s just amongst friends. But what happens when your past mistakes are documented on video? YouTube videos that you’ve put out there. That have accrued to form a brand in your name, made you a ton of money, and put you in a position of power and influence in the lives of

It doesn’t matter if you’re the darlings of ‘country’ and one of the most successful bands in the world. Don’t badmouth my president, especially overseas.

Today’s topic has had many tweets, think pieces, and much mainstream media coverage devoted to it. And while the subject matter was initially reported as yet another example of salacious {tabloid fodder}, it eventually took a more disturbing turn, exposing our ‘protagonist’ while also raising valid concerns about future press freedoms and the First Amendment. But how did the beloved Hulk Hogan go from being an ‘immortal’ icon to a figure of scorn and derision? This episode was written by Ouma

Daniel Caesar
A controversy-courting YouTube chat show, a twitter clapback, and a verbal gymnastic session with a move so bold, so bewilderingly audacious, that it’d probably leave Simone Biles a bit rattled. This is the story of Daniel Caesar, the rising R&B star whose commitment to catching stray bullets for his friend, Julieanna ‘YesJulz’ Goddard, got him CANCELLED with a permanent C. Sort of.

Art and controversy go hand in hand. Many celebrated artists tiptoe on the edge of taste, decency and political correctness as a means to explore emotions and boundaries. In the 1980's underground queer entertainment was grounded in shock value. But, by the tail end of the decade, the landscape looked and sounded very different. The prominent razzle dazzle doyennes found themselves in very different territory... Leigh Bowery included. This episode was written by Rhyannon Styles This is a Br

Janet Jackson
Think public takedowns or mass moral outrage, and social media is often the arena. A tweet, the weapon of choice. But people have been called out, vilified and openly flogged since … well … forever. And it usually involves some form of prejudice or privilege, either way. Let’s take one example: a WTF moment during one of the biggest events in live television. How an alleged wardrobe malfunction exposed much more than a body part, derailing pop icon Janet Jackson's career. It’s so contentious th

Summer 2020 was peak cancellation season and no one was safe. The murder of George Floyd forced people, who had otherwise had the privilege of ignoring racism’s pervasiveness, to begin to see it for what it is. Callouts on racial injustice became callouts on social justice across the board and a number of brands – and the people at their helm – were brought to reckoning and the fashion brand Boohoo were top of the hitlist.

Retweets are not endorsements. That’s what people say. It’s become a universal disclaimer in our online discourse – used to dodge criticism for, say, retweeting Trump during his Twitter heyday. Read: a retweet is not an endorsement, even if you’re retweeting a fascist. Unless, of course, you add a little message saying you agree with a fascist. That’s pretty much what Mumford & Sons banjoist, Winston Marshall - who once adopted the moniker “Country Winston” - did, out of the blue, on March 7th

If I could only choose one word – a polite, podcast-friendly word – to sum up the past 18 months, it’d be... ‘weird’. A global pandemic that had people fighting over toilet roll and governments telling us when we could leave the house or have sex? Weird. At times, tragic and necessary... except the toilet roll thing. But 100% weird. One celeb who has successfully capitalised on the social currency of ‘weird’ is Gen-Z’s fave singer slash rapper Doja Cat. But her ‘out of the box’ behaviour almost

But our question today is: how did Lana Del Rey become so cancellable?

You may EVEN know her as the shining star of the iconic, straight to TV, 2000 film... “Life Size”.

From the start of his campaign to his ungracious – at best – defeat last year, Donald Trump has called for a boycott of – well, quite literally – everyone. From Macy’s to Mexico, and Harley Davidson to HBO, the wrath of “The Donald” has – according to CNN – single-handedly tried to cancel over thirty people and organisations.

You can attempt to cash in too much, and then it all goes horribly wrong. Sometimes, sticking to what you know is for the best. And having insulted a whole section of society with her directorial

It’s important to remember that cancel culture isn’t only a phenomenon of the 21st Century, much in the same way that trans people weren’t all birthed in the year 2000. Although in today’s world, we do have transgender cover stars specifically chosen to celebrate and support the individuals, it wasn’t always the case. Nothi

A story about a woman who found her Eden, shared it with everyone and then promptly lost it all.

Morning television; It’s a medium built upon being the relaxing background music to your pre-breakfast routine. A light fusion of news, entertainment, and weather, wrapped up with soft furnishings and ambient intro music, with the melodious alto of a Scottish woman never far away. (Carol Kirkwood and Lorraine Kelly–holler). Hardly a bastion of excitement. But such tranquillity is fertile ground for a disruptor, and there is perhaps nobody more deserving of that adjective than one Piers Morgan.
