The Fall of Icons: Diddy, Kanye, Cosby, and the Memory We Can’t Shake →

What happens when the artists who shaped your childhood… fall from grace? From the sitcoms that raised us to the music that moved us, this is the story of what happens when memory collides with morality. In this special episode of High and Low Retrospective, we unpack the weight of complicated nostalgia—that gut-check feeling when the art you once loved is tied to someone you no longer recognize. From Bill Cosby and The Cosby Show, to Michael Jackson, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kanye West, Will Smith, and J.K. Rowling, we explore the moments that broke the spell—and ask whether it’s possible to still enjoy the work when the creator’s legacy turns dark. Is it still okay to listen? Can we ever watch the reruns the same way again? And who gets forgiven… and who doesn’t? This isn’t just about cancel culture. It’s about identity, betrayal, and what we choose to carry with us—even when the truth hurts.

Sex and the City: Female Freedom or Fairytale? →

Sex and the City wasn’t just a show, it was a movement. But as time passed, so did the fantasy. In this High and Low Retrospective, we revisit the show that redefined what it meant to be single, successful, and unapologetically female in turn-of-the-millennium New York City. From designer shoes and brunch tables to taboo-breaking dialogue and friendship that felt like religion, Sex and the City gave us a glittering version of liberation. But was it empowerment or just an expensive illusion? We explore the cultural impact, the criticism, and the legacy of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte, from the groundbreaking highs to the very narrow lens of who got to feel “free.” What happens when we rewatch the show that raised a generation of women and ask what it left out?
