Day 14 of #PODMAS. there was a little mix up so I missed 2 days but las last we move. In this episode, I'm going off the musical theme to talk about music as a tool for politics as well as share some of my favourite songs that are hitting those notes of resistance resilience. Are there any songs you consider to be political?
