In Politics: (5:16) Kier Starmer's Tory Lite is producing just as advertised, its a shame that his vibes are so milquetoast that people haven't truly clocked how wack he is as a leader. (Article By Neal Lawson)

In Social Media: (21:15) As a member of the Guinea Pig generation - the generation that was handed raw Social Media as teenagers - I don't think we'll ever have a true reckoning about how it messed us all up. (Article By Lottie Elton)

In Culture: (34:10) I recently started an episode about saving Prince Charles Cinema which is under threat from its demon landlords. For this, we zoom out and use PCC as a case study for the death of the West End as a whole. (Article By Kate Mossman)

Lastly, in Life: (51:57) It should be common knowledge that the majority of stolen people from Africa eventually ended up in Brazil. Well now, Afro-Brazilians are going back to the likes of Benin. (Article By Tom Phillips, Tiago Rogero & Eromo Egbejule)
