I personally love 'woke' stern -- doesn't bother me at all in terms of dialing back the rougher edges and I feel like the result is better interviews where he actually listens and talks to people and the guest list is pretty absurd. I'd make that trade, personally. But the funny thing to me is that the genius, imo, of Stern is that the show has always evolved -- for better or for worse depending on your taste. I think if he was still doing stripper stuff and constantly fighting with people and trying to shock people all the time, it would be a bit weird for a guy heading toward 70.

As for Dasher's point -- I would agree that while we've become more politically correct, inclusive, and careful about what we say (again, for better or for worse depending on where you stand), it's become an accountability thing. You can say what you want but you often have to own it. I'd also add, that relatively few people get truly cancelled for less than criminal activity (a few politicians, televangelists, and celeb folks have seen this fate). I mean the Pauls are still making money boxing, O'Reilly (civil suits only, I believe, right?) still squawking somewhere, Franken has reemerged, Billy Bush is back on the air ... I mean, it's not great but not like these folks have disappeared from public life.

As for Dakich, he always seemed a little douchey to me but Doyel's piece felt a little thin. Not sure I really side strongly with either one of them on that one.
