Explicit content warning
07/02/20 • 67 min
In a week where:
- Liverpool wins the Premier League and first top-flight trophy in 30 years after Chelsea beats Manchester City 2-1.
- The teenager who tried to kill a six-year-old at Tate Modern is jailed for 15 years.
- In a one-to-one with Kerry Washington, Sandra Oh says the UK TV industry is behind in diversity.
- The city of Leicester goes into its own lockdown.
In Film/TV: (8:52) Actor & Writer Daniel Lawrence Taylor delivers a great piece on how talk is cheap when it comes to the UK Television industry and how as a whole, need to fix up as it pertains to diversity.
In Sports: (19:42) The Queen of Sprint, Dina Asher-Smith, comes through with a thoughtful column on how she's experienced racism and how education is the key to long-term progress.
In Life: (35:11) Speaking of education! Somebody is already making moves to create a decolonised black University and I for one am gassed about this prospect.
Lastly, in Music: (51:27) 6ix9ine & Nicki Minaj went No.1 with their collaborative effort "TROLLZ", which is another glaring example of how the music industry can't help but shamelessly money grab and inadvertently kill the essence of Hip-Hop in the process.

Ep.83 - Little Britain, Black Women & Lockdown Easing
In a week where:
- Trump hosts "Cough-chella"
- Three people die & another three suffer injuries after a mass stabbing terror attack in Reading.
- Lewis Hamilton is starting a commission w/The Royal Academy of Engineering.
- Novak Djokovic tests positive for COVID-19, after months of hosting charity events and not staying inside.
- More than 300 black artists/executives call for Hollywood to invest more in black talent & stop glorifying police violence.
In Film/TV: (7:52) Historian David Olusoga talks "Little Britain" which has recently been cut off streaming platforms for its backwards comedy. But the story goes deeper than you think.
In Music: (23:06) There have been a few events that have gone down in the past week that have got me thinking about how black men talk to black women. First was J.Cole's super odd & tone-deaf "Snow On The Bluff" which was directed to vocal learner Noname. The 2nd and more important event was between Ray BLK & Ambush Buzzworl. There are levels to this, but the overall theme is that we still don't listen to black women properly.
In Sports: (39:53) The NBA is returning, all located in Orlando, in a "Bubble" format. While I understand the wanting to do all this, I can't turn my head completely away from basic logic.
Lastly, in Life: (51:33) On July 4th, England (Not the rest of the UK) is opening up more to include Pubs, Restaurants, hairdressers etc. Why? Why do you think?
