Government debacle and cover ups make it seem as if the country is being ran by a professional outfit of racketeers. Every nook and cranny was turned over and exposed yet there have been no changes in the tory lineup.

Tender settlements to companies formed overnight, and associated with members of cabinet.

Speaking of lineups, Wireless festival released their plans for the festival taking place in September to many dismayed by the domination of male acts on the lineup. Some point out the history of their mostly male lineups, ignoring pleas for equality from women that work within the industry. The topic is broadening to radio, management, label representation and other areas of under representation. There was as study done by UK Music on diversity in 2020 highlighting what might be seen as contradictory to this specific messaging on social media today - www.ukmusic.org/equality-diversity/uk-music-diversity-report-2020/

Beginning with the rise of technology over the years, Mark and Jermaine look at how pockets of social media have transformed into a cult behemoths of unhinged and unparalleled proportions across the world. With the ability to connect (and disconnect), we question what is it that QAnon and the like are following and how they have developed a resistance.

Antivaxxers versus provaxxers

Pro-lockdown versus anti-lockdown

It's ideological warfare, and we want to cut through the middle of it. 

Mark, bemused by many modern fascinations queries Jermaine about cryptocurrency.

Jermaine has some experience in the financial trading sector and shares some of what he knows about Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum and alt-coins.

In this episode of Star Gazers, Mark and Jermaine chat with Cassandra London who's latest double release 'I Wanna Know' and 'They Don't Care' are out at 4pm today.

Cassandra London tells us about not only the story of the songs out today and her music, but how her experiences are aspects of a kaleidoscope of mirrored influences reflected in her community and life as well as how she's reconciled these growing into an identity she feels comfortable in. 

The Black Awareness Project, of which the two songs released today are a part of, sure has some strong representation, and the theme of awareness is very much in tune with current need. 

Awareness is surely a driving force behind change and Cassandra London along with the Black Awareness Project are onto a good thing.
