On Free Speech Nation: comedian Andrew Doyle talks to people who don’t hold back, people who think it’s better to be honest about what you believe, so differences can be resolved.

They feel that they have to self-censor, rather than say what they really think. Andrew’s getting the adults back in the room to chat frankly about difficult issues, without the threat of being shames, shunned or cancelled.
