About this listen

 Music journalist Eve Barlow was once at the center of the global entertainment industry, writing for outlets like the Guardian, the LA Times, and serving as deputy editor at NME. After becoming a vocal Jewish woman and an advocate for Israel, those same spaces began to close their doors. In this episode, Barlow sits down with Mathilda Heller to speak candidly about being pushed out of pop culture journalism, the limits of identity politics, and what changed long before October 7. She reflects on antisemitism in progressive spaces, the personal cost of speaking openly as a Jew, and why Jewish identity was treated as unacceptable while others were celebrated. The conversation explores cancel culture, media silence, the aftermath of October 7, and the broader implications for free speech, journalism, and Western society. Barlow also discusses why facts matter more than feelings, how propaganda spreads, and why she remains optimistic despite the backlash. An unfiltered discussion about belonging, betrayal, and what it means to speak when silence is safer.
