Ep.205 - Afro Hairstyles, White Noise & Iran

In a week where:

1. Elon Musk completes Twitter takeover.
2. Saifullah Paracha, the oldest prisoner of Guantanamo is released after 17 years.
3. Over 150 people die after a stampede in South Korea.
4. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been elected President of Brazil.
5. Migos rapper Takeoff dies aged 28.

In Education: (6:07) Why - in 2022 - are we still talking about Afro hairstyles in schools? And why are watchdogs having to state the obvious?

In Film/TV: (14:10) With the pandemic speeding up the process, its pretty clear that TV is superior to film. They got the money, they're getting the views and everyone has a device to view it all. So what's stopping TV?

In Music: (30:27) There's a type of music that's taking over the music industry - you may be like me and have never listened to it - but apparently white noise is the force that's putting musicians in a bottleneck.

Lastly, in Society: (48:31) It has been more than six weeks since Iran plummeted into public outrage. And even in this short time - it's giving "Arab Spring" vibes - insofar as, it's doomed to fizzle out.
