Tell The Damn Story, ep 383: Is Free Speech Ever Really Free?

from Tell The Damn Story · host Alex Simmons & Chris Ryan

"Creative Rights, Risks, and Responsibilities in 2025"The dynamic duo of Chris and Alex dive headfirst into a topic that’s more relevant—and contentious—than ever: Is free speech ever really free? In a landscape where creative expression feels increasingly scrutinized and satire itself comes under scrutiny, our co-hosts examine the pressures and pitfalls artists and writers face when tackling polarizing issues.Drawing on decades of personal and professional experience, Chris and Alex examine how the right to speak one’s truth is shaped, restricted, and defended—sometimes all at once. The boys look back at pivotal moments in history, share stories from the worlds of late-night comedy, film, and literature, and unpack what’s at stake for storytellers today.Have any questions, comments, or suggestions?Then, please leave them in the Comments Section.Write: [email protected] follow us on ...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.TellTheDamnStory.comwww.Facebook.com/Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/ Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stories change lives.
