BLM and the UK's History Curriculum


Listen Later

Hey everyone! Following up from the BLM announcement we put out earlier this month, we decided to take a look at what Britain is teaching us when it comes to black lives. Turns out there's not a lot. We go into detail further this week!

It's been a while; we're really sorry! After test week we all needed to step back and focus on school for a while, particularly Jess, who's having a bit of a break from the podcast.

Season 1 of the show is approaching its conclusion (I know, we're sad too), but don't fret! There's one more episode to go, and a blooper reel is in the works! Come September we'll be back at it churning out more content for you all.
