Welcome to the weekly episode! If you're new to all things Trends and Tings, prepare yourself, this week's episode goes deep. We chatted about: 

LeBron James led an NBA boycott after the shooting of Jacob Blake last week. But is it hypocritical for LeBron to be sponsored by Nike, known human rights violators - while also being pro-BLM? We chat human rights causes, and if it's all or none.

Digital immortality is the latest Black Mirror reality, with a trial set to happen in the US. We chat about being able to speak with loved ones... after they've passed. Ethical? Disrespectful? Good? Bad? We give it a solid unpacking!!
