Ep.245 - Photojournalism & Cultural Appropriation

In a week where:

1. A police officer is to be charged with the murder of Chris Kaba.
2. Rupert Murdoch steps down as chair of Fox & News Corp.
3. Pro-EU protestors rally in London.
4. The WGA writer's strike ends after 148 days.
5. France end military presence in Niger and pull ambassador from country after coup.

In Music - (6:14) With the recent comments of Rolling Store Founder Jann Wenner making waves - leading to him being dropped off the RRHOF - it must be asked what is even the point of the RRHOF now?

In TV: (12:13) GB News somehow still exists even though every time I hear about them they're breaking Ofcom rules in one way or another. At this point, it's an unabashed misinformation machine.

In Photography: (31:28) One aspect of Photography I love is Photojournalism, some of my heroes did photojournalism at some point in their careers. But the form is a rare one these days, which makes the small number of them highly important in this digital age.

Lasty, in Culture: (44:55) The term "cultural appropriation" is one that has been sewn into cultural debate for years now. But is it a 'bogeyman' phrase? Don't we borrow from other cultures all the time?
