Following the exposure of Matt Hancock (The ex Health Secretary) and his aid Gina colangelo affair, in this episode we delve into cheating. A recent report suggested that 25% of men admit to cheating compared to 18% of women. But when we look in the work place, nearly 40% of women admit to having an affair compared to 31% of men. Based on these statistics there is no doubt but both men and women cheat almost equally as much but women are most stigmatised, so so we ask the question - Does society allow men to cheat? and for those women with the confidence to own the number of men they've bagged - is ratchet the new normal?

The rapid growth of social media has for many created plenty of new opportunities to make a buck or 2. The rise of social media has also enabled the centre of gravity to shift away from the traditional methods of advertising via well established Hollywood celebrities and footballers and towards what some would say is your common man/woman also known in social media lingo as the influencer. This influencer can literally be anyone with a platform and a wide following and to some this has become the career path of choice for the current generation. But is being an influencer a genuine alternative to a traditional career and with it being an unregulated profession is there more responsibility on influencers to be content conscious towards the many vulnerable followers on their platform. We discuss in Episode 26.

Oscars, Grammy's, BAFTAs, Golden Globes and so on, all have one thing in common and that's their lack of diversity and in recent years pressure has been growing on them by those who have felt most overlooked, cheated and discriminated against for there to be change or outright boycotts. But in the age of the internet and social media where users clicks and likes are king are these mainstream awards still relevant when determining who is the best from films to music or is it time for move past the old way and create new awards that better reflect the views and thoughts of streets through such platforms such as GRM awards, YouTube awards, UKE Awards and others. We discuss in Episode 25. 

In recent times Dr Umar Johnson and Kevin Samuels have come to be known as 2 of the most controversial figures within the black community. While Johnson is very much pro black everything to the point it could be viewed by some as extreme, some believe Samuels creates the impression that dark skin women are not good enough and they seem to fare badly in his grading system which he portrays as facts - but is this true? Lastly and most interestingly, Dr Umar Johnson believes that interracial relationships are killing black families, but should colour matter when it comes to love? We discuss all this and more in episode 24.

May 2021 saw yet another iteration of the historical conflict between Israel and Palestine although it could be argued that it is in fact a conflict between Israel and Hamas with the citizens on both sides simply being collateral damage. At the time of recording this, it is reported that the total number of civilian deaths stand at 213 Palestinians and 12 Israelis. From land disputes to blockades, rocket fire to missile strikes, this conflict continues to be seen through the lens of political advantage and not human suffering and it can be argued that it is all the fault of the British and the legacy of their empire. So in episode 23 we discuss some of the history that has fuelled this conflict and understand the role the British government played and what responsibility if any they have to come up with a viable solution. Additionally we have a look at some of the perceived barriers people tend believe exist when seen to be critiquing Israeli government actions compared to the free thinking criticisms that can be levelled at other regimes around the world

Couples therapy is not common place in black or ethnic minority communities and if it is, it is very much kept on the hush hush. Blue Therapy is a YouTube mini series where couples share their journey with a therapist and in episode 22 we discuss some of our findings and overservations of those involved. We also ask the question - if there are fundamental difference in expectations, is there room for compromise or should both parties go their separate ways and find the match that can meet their individual expectations?

Well known for his ground breaking films, Kidulthood, Adulthood and Brotherhood, Noel Clarke is a very well known director and script writer in the UK movie space. He has broken down barriers and his work has influenced other top productions such TopBoy. The recognition for his contribution to the arts came in the form of BAFTA which he won in April, but also in this same month 20 women are reported by the Guardian to have come forward to accuse him of committing various sexual crimes and bullying. He has since been cancelled and BAFTA  revoked but no charges have been made. So in episode 21 we discuss Noel Clarke and explore whether trial by media is right way to deal with such sensitive matters.

Man United, Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham have joined other top teams from Spain and Italy to form a new competition called the super league. It is proposed that as the founding teams these clubs could never be relegated from the competition and of course they would also get the lions share of any profits. It is not an understatement to say that this proposal has caused an earthquake like response from the footballing community, with fans and both national and international regulators strongly apposing the move and threatening sanctions including banning those teams from other competitions like the Champions League and their players from representing their countries internationally. In Episode 20 we discuss the new proposal and try to explore whether there is any merit in the new competition or whether these clubs are simply acting in their own self interest without a care for the beautiful game and driven purely by greed
