This week Katelyn speaks with Mikhail Klimentov, former head of the Washington Post's gaming vertical and writer of the Substack ReaderGrev, to talk about the streamer Guy Beahm, more commonly known as Dr. Disrespect. Several weeks ago, Beahm's career essentially ended after it was revealed that he had messaged inappropriately with a minor.

This week, Katelyn talks with Miles Klee of Rolling Stone about the annoyingly pernicious "p*ssy in bio" bots that have taken over Twitter lately before coming a popular meme format on the site. The bots have become the latest evidence that the social media site, and even the internet at large may be becoming worse. We talk all of that and more (along with the best out of context cancellations segment since Oliver left).

This week, Katelyn talks with legendary trans author and activist Julia Serano, who is coming out with a third edition of her trans feminist book Whipping Girl (March 30).

Hello Cancelers!
It feels like Taylor Swift is everywhere this year. She just broke a record at last weekend's Grammy's and this weekend we're likely to see numerous camera shots of her at the Super Bowl as her boyfriend Travis Kelce takes the field. Katelyn spoke with independent journalist Frankie de la Cretaz about everything Taylor, from the relationship, to Gaylors, and the roots of the weird right wing conspiracy theories that have popped up around her.
