Ep.297 - Tory Lite's Freebies & The Allergies

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Missouri murders death row inmate Marcellus Williams after evidence was found that he was innocent.
2. New York City Mayor Eric Adams is charged with five federal counts of bribery, fraud, and illegal campaign donations.
3. World's longest-serving death row inmate - an 88-year-old former boxer in Japan - is acquitted in 1966 murders.
4. Maggie Smith - Oscar-winning star of stage and screen - dies aged 89.
5. Israel kills Hezbollah leader Hassan Nazrallah amongst a Friday bombing campaign.

In Society: (6:13) Last week I talked about the admittedly little heard voices of the people that were close to the Summer riots in the UK to get a perspective that is worthy of hearing. But this week I talk about it from the perspective of the Imams & others that were subject to the riots. (Article By Neha Gohil, Aamna Mohdin & Robyn Vinter)

In Politics: (23:10) You may have heard that Tory Lite - f/k/a Labour - have been accepting freebies from the rich, acting as if bribery is fine. But not only were they doing this before they got into power, they just might get off scott-free because the Media isn't hailing this severe fissure in our democracy. (Article By Adam Ramsay)

Lastly, an interview for you to step to! (33:15) For this half hour chat, we talk to Macroy & Adam of DJ/Production duo The Allergies off the back of their new album "Freak The Speaker". (& if you like visuals, check their lyric video for single "Let Me Hear You Say") We talk their beginnings, how they gained and cultivated their music taste and - of course - their Top 5.
