A short one for you this week, but I want to portray my experience of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. It was an amazing spectacle, and an event that I always treasure going to. Hear about which events I went to, what I saw, and my three tips for attending such an event as the Commonwealth Games or the Olympics.

Here's my first episode of 2022! It's all about cancel culture, something that has definitely been more prevalent within the social media age. I discuss what it means, how being 'cancelled' can affect people, and the situation with Polly Vadasz (owner of Sighh Studios) being cancelled because of some absolutely horrific past tweets.
