Ep.254 - Cruise Ships & Killers Of The Flower Moon
Explicit content warning
11/23/23 • 64 min
In a week where:
- Sean Combs settles a civil case within 24 hours of being accused of rape and severe physical abuse by former girlfriend Cassie.
- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is fired only to be then hired by Microsoft.
- Kool & The Gang drummer George "Funky" Brown dies at 74.
- Far-Right libertarian Javier Milei wins Argentinian Presidential election.
- Happy 5th birthday "What's Good?"!
In Environment: (5:35) I was never into the idea of cruise ships when I was younger for a myriad of reasons, but with increasing evidence that cruise ships are THE worst when it comes to the environment - including this story about them not using long-established power sources - it's clear they got to go.
In Tech: (20:57) With Twitter getting worse by the day, it's beginning to show that there's a widening gap in the Social Media/News landscape. So what are the ramifications of a deteriorating news landscape?
In Politics: (37:53) Of all the reasons to hate Politics these days, one huge reason is the lack of empathy and how it only comes into play when it suits politicians.
Lastly, in Film: (49:12) I briefly talked about "Killers of the Flower Moon" a few episodes ago and the likes of Scorsese have since talked about the main issue with the film: A non-Osage, telling an Osage story. So am I being extra?

Ep.253 - "We Have The Language" W/ Tayah
It's a cold Saturday night and I just got out of watching the late Horace Ové's "Pressure" at the BFI South Bank. A while after, I began an interview inside the BFI South Bank that I've been trying to schedule for months.
In an admittedly not-the-best place to do an audio interview, I talk to one of my favourite discoveries of the year in Tayah, an on-the-rise singer/songwriter who wears as many influences (in her music) as her sleeve can fit. We talk her beginnings, inspirations, her love for radio; her music; radicalisation and of course her Top 5.

Ep.255 - Farage, Palantir & The Marvels
In a week where:
- Israel & Hamas agree on a four-day ceasefire & hostage releases.
- Dublin is set ablaze after three children & one woman are stabbed.
- Oscar Pistorius is granted parole from January, nearly 11 years after murdering girlfriend.
- Jean Knight, singer best known for the classic 1971 hit “Mr. Big Stuff,” dies aged 80.
- Young Thug's RICO trial begins.
In Politics: (11:50) Farage has received £1.5m to appear on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! with Ant and Dec. After everything he has done, he gets the opportunity to humanise himself.
In Health: (23:49) A big existential crisis the UK is having is the state of the NHS and with the recent £500M deal with former military/spyware company Palantir, I feel like the NHS as we know it is dead.
In Life: (34:28) Even though Suella Braverman is out as Home Secretary, I felt the need to find a piece that explains the spiral of being homeless. What better than a first-hand account.
Lastly, in Film: (48:50) The film nerds are back out of their holes to claim Marvel is dead after the poor showing of The Marvels. Whilst I don't care about the monetary wellbeing of a multi-million $ studio, I do care about filmmakers getting thrown under the bus. Burn the table.
