It’s like being a fly on the wall at Hollywood’s most exclusive party, only much juicier. And let me tell you when I got to be there Live show September 25th in Baltimore at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall was even more chaotic and entertaining than I could have ever imagined.

What exactly is that? Canceled podcast?

Before I delve into the glamorous drama of that night, let’s recap a little. For those of you who are somehow still living under a rock, the Canceled podcast Hosted by Tana Mongeau, the reigning queen of Internet controversy, and her best friend Brooke Schofield, a cutie from Arizona whose clean-girl videos and fashion content have earned her a platform quite unlike Tana’s. The perfect balancing act. The premise? — Discussing the lives of influencers, celebrities and internet scandals in a way that is hilarious, raw and often downright scandalous.

The podcast has its roots in the world of influencer culture, and let’s face it: no one embodies that culture more than Tana. From her infamous TanaCon disaster to the endless string of internet pursuits, Tana has done it all been there. She’s the queen who gets “canceled,” and ironically, she’s fine because of it. This podcast addresses that. Each episode is a mix of juicy gossip, unfiltered opinions and candid moments covering the highs and lows of being an influencer in today’s world; If there is any drama, Tana and Brooke will definitely discuss it.

A night of chaos at the Baltimore Show

But back to that magical night on September 25th. Let me set the scene: Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, an iconic venue, was bustling with activity. The line outside was filled with the kind of fans you’d expect – dressed in edgy streetwear, oversized sunglasses (yes, even at night), and enough glitter to rival a Coachella crowd. As I waited and listened to the conversation, it was clear that everyone was prepared for the unfiltered chaos.

The hall was packed. Every seat was taken, from die-hard fans to people who had only seen Tana’s Instagram stories. When the lights dimmed and Tana and Brooke took the stage, the energy was electric. It was like watching two best friends casually sit down and spill the tea… only this time in front of thousands of people.

But the show wasn’t just a live version of their typical podcast episodes; No, that was much bigger. They started with an immersion exclusive Behind-the-scenes stories of influencer life that they hadn’t even touched on in the podcast. If you think the podcast is scandalous, imagine what they’ll say knowing they’re not being recorded.

There was this one moment where Tana was talking about a certain celebrity sliding into her DMs – she didn’t name any names, of course, but given the context, everyone had their suspicions. The crowd roared, gasped, cheered, and whispered speculative questions like, “Is she talking about Bryce Hall?” I swear, if this had been a reality show, it would have been trending on X.com (formerly Twitter) within minutes.

The drama that defines Canceled podcast

It’s been since his debut Canceled podcast has skyrocketed in popularity, reaching up to 3.5 million views and 2.41 million subscribers and entering the top 10 of Apple Podcasts’ podcast charts. With a dedicated fanbase and millions of social media followers, it has become a staple of pop culture, dominating discussions on platforms like TikTok and X.com (formerly Twitter). One of the reasons for this Canceled podcast is so wildly successful that it references something we all secretly love: watching celebrities and influencers live out the drama we can’t look away from. It’s about how Tana and Brooke respond, often throwing in their own random anecdotes and sarcastic views.

They talked about it at length during the Baltimore show concept to be canceled. Brooke, with her dry humor, delivered a line that sent the audience into a frenzy, implying that if you weren’t canceled you weren’t even relevant. This got me thinking about how the podcast not only comments on cancel culture, but also comments on the fleeting nature of online fame itself. People rise, people fall, and in the world of the Internet no one is safe from public opinion.

What does Canceled podcast The difference is that it’s not just these cycles that are reported. It embraces them with a confidence that’s almost meta, with Tana and Brooke openly acknowledging their own moments of downfall and playing with the concept of “cancellation,” which is both a joke and a reality they’ve lived through. It’s this raw, unfiltered self-expression that sets the podcast apart, making it not just a commentary but a performance of the highs and lows of internet culture.

At the live show, they expanded on that idea, delving deeply into recent internet scandals, from the questionable ethics of brand sponsorships to influencers “apologizing” without ever actually apologizing. The best part? When we watch them roast people, we all can’t stand it, but never say it out loud.

My personal Cancelled moment

One thing you should know: Being there in person is a completely different experience than just listening to the podcast in your AirPods while doing laundry. There’s something exhilarating about watching Tana and Brooke’s facial expressions, their chemistry, and the way they feed off the crowd’s energy.

At one point there was a question and answer session and you can bet I was one of the people waving my hand in the air like a madman. I didn’t get a call, but the questions ranged from “What do you regret most?” to “Spill some tea on THE HYPE HOUSE?” And let me tell you, the tea was spilled. Topics like Clinton Kane, Team Ten and of course the infamous Tarte beauty trip sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Even though I didn’t have the chance to ask a question, it felt like I was part of something that was shaking up our generation. It was this crazy, vibrant manifestation of pop culture that celebrated all of the chaotic, dramatic, and frightening moments that make the internet such a wild place.

The cultural impact of Cancelled

Love it or hate it, Cancelled is a reflection of our times. It’s not just about gossip – okay, that’s what it is mostly about gossip – but it also tackles important questions about internet culture, fame and responsibility.

During the live show, Tana even reflected on her own journey and talked about how she managed to navigate the murky waters of internet fame despite countless rejections. She spoke about the balance between trying to maintain one’s authenticity and putting on a show for the masses. Brooke chimed in in her usual dry manner, saying that often the show just doesn’t work and it’s a train wreck – but at least people are watching.

And isn’t that the essence of today’s pop culture? We’re all just watching, whether it’s on our phones, on YouTube or at a live show like this. The Canceled podcast manages to distill that experience into a messy, hilarious package.
