Ep.211 - 42 British Coups & Your Stuff

In a week where:

1. Dozens of people killed after a plane with 72 people on board crashes near an airport in central Nepal.
2. Distant cousin of Boris Johnson acted as credit guarantor while in No 10. 
3. Voters in May’s local elections will be required to show photo ID before casting their ballot.
4. UK Police are to be given the power to shut down protests before any disruption begins.
5. Met Police sack David Carrick after admitting to dozens of rape & sexual offences across two decades.

In History: (8:52) Did you know that Britain executed or planned 42 coups since World War 2? Well, you do now.

In the first of two Film segments: (24:10) The USC Annenberg Inclusion Institute are back again with a fresh report on race/ethnicity & gender diversity amongst directors and... It's not too great.

In the 2nd Film segment: (37:57) We have seen AI threaten Graphic Designers and artists, but with the advent of ChatGPT, can AI threaten storytellers?

Lastly, in Life: (54:25) We all participate in consumerism, but something we can't grasp as a collective is the dip in quality of even small things like underwear. Is there any ability to call it out?
