No this isn't an interview with One Republic, this is our follow up to our Cancel Culture episode. Can people redeem themselves from being “cancelled” by an apology? Are their actions enough? Or are they too far off the edge to be forgiven?

In this episode we cover several sensitive topics like police brutality and eating disorders.
