Public humiliation has became a blood sport online over the past decade. Pile-ons, performative punishment, apology rituals, and reputations destroyed in hours. But now that the dust is settling, what actually happened to us? And what did it do to the people on the receiving end? Clare Stephens spent years at Mamamia, Australia&rsquo;s biggest independent women&rsquo;s media outlet, copping heat from all sides and watching digital mobs turn ordinary mistakes into existential crises. She&rsquo;s since written a novel, The Worst Thing I&rsquo;ve Ever Done, and created a podcast <a href="https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/68c7a48244d0096b8787a6ed">The Pile-On</a>, to explore the phenomenon of public shaming, and the people who are the subject of it. Clare and Josh unpack what really drove the cancel-culture era, why it hit women differently to men, how shame works, and whether we might hopefully be entering a healthier phase of online reckoning.
