Heretical Thoughts on Identity Politics, Cancel Culture, and Academic Freedom

America’s most canceled intellectual presents a scorching defense of free thought and a devastating indictment of a left that has lost its way.

Norman Finkelstein and Briahna Joy Gray spoke on May 8, 2025 at the Francis Kite Club, which is also the home of OR Books, in New York City.

There are TWO versions of this audio on the Radio4All server: (-24 LUFS 192kbps Mp3)

Version 1: The full audio (01:23:31), optimized for RADIO PLAY. I did not add an intro/mid/outro. There was no Q&A.

Version 2: A 59-minute RADIO-READY edit, added on 5/21/25. Includes my intro/mid/outro. Unfortunately, this version excludes about 1/3 of the talk. But I did manage to find what sounds like a natural stopping point.

Contact me for a link to the full audio in .wav format, which is best if you want to do your own edit.
