From Shock Jocks to Social Shifts: Who’s Really Controlling the Mic?

What do Howard Stern, Sydney Sweeney, and the changing face of fitness culture have in common? More than you think. In this thought-provoking episode, hosts Jack Moore and Charles Hundley unpack the evolution of talk radio into modern podcasting, the blurred lines between free speech and cancel culture, and how media continues to shape — and shake — public perception.

From the golden days of shock jocks to the political minefields of today’s ad campaigns, no topic is off-limits. The duo dives into beauty standards, health narratives, racial disparities, and the cultural contradictions that shape how we see ourselves — and each other.
