Katherine Brodsky was doxxed, harrassed and threatened because of a job posting on Facebook. She and Bridget discuss what happened, why she refuses to apologize, how it shifted the way she interacts with the world, and the private messages of support she received from people who were too scared to say anything publicly. They cover the toxicity of cancel culture, the long term effects in can have in your life, how other people's silence makes you feel even more isolated and alone, and how the incident gave Katherine the ability to be honest about where she was politically. They also discuss the importance of primary sources, how difficult it is for an institution to regain trust once it's been lost, the job of comedy in this day and age, Rogan as a gateway podcast, and the etiquette of heckling at a comedy show.
