Should we be cancelling people? Is cancel culture toxic? Does it even really exist? In our season’s penultimate episode, we answer these questions and more. We talk alternative models of justice, tools of the powerless, and sprinkle on some communication theory for good measure. Before we get the chance to be cancelled, we're asking do the kids know about cancel culture?

Do The Kids Know? is a series of conversations between friends, Prakash and Kristen, where we challenge our understanding of contemporary media, popular culture, and what it means to live as racialized millennials in KKKanada (That’s Canada spelled with three K’s) 

Our goal for this series is to have frank discussions about the stories and nuances missed by sensationalist media as well as to uncover the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is shaping our movements and behaviours. 

Keep tuning in to be a part of the conversation… don’t be a kid who doesn’t know!
