2 hr 23 min - IT'S QUIET (#MuteRKelly, Ariana Grande and Drake's Vegas Residency)
Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!
Last week was relatively slow one news wise - at least by the boys’ standard. No one was really moved by any of the major topics that buzzed around the music landscape in the last 7 days. Consequently, the episode structure is looser. Before officially kicking off the news section Eden asks Sope and Nic for their thoughts on whether artists in the UK are victims of incorrect genre categorizations (00:47:46). The boys then move onto the announcement that the Jonas Brothers are reuniting for a new album and share their thoughts on the new single ‘Sucker’ (01:08:48). A swift sidetrack sees the boys discuss the short-lived fame of OSH and what they think is next for people like him and Loz (01:16:46). The big elephant in the room is finally addressed as the boys once and for all offer their two pence on R. Kelly’s sexual abuse and child pornography changes (01:21:23). Next up Eden and Nic discuss their wider grievances with Ariana Grande’s persona in the midst of the recent controversy about her headlining Manchester Pride (01:48:55). Leading to a debate of what a ‘stan’ is and means (02:05:04). Lastly, the boys discuss the changing face and shifting connotations associated with performing in Vegas following the announcement that Drake will be hosting his own his residency there later this year (02:08:42).

- 'LOVE, PEACE AND SOUL' (Soul Train Awards, Childish Gambino & Radio 1)Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!For the penultimate episode of season 1, the news winds down and the boys follow accordingly, allowing for more free-flowing and tangential conversation.

The entirety of the Soul Train Awards is discussed in detail with Sope, Eden and Nic kicking things off with the soul cypher segment (00:44:50). Sope passionately preaches about the need to keep award shows like Soul Train alive as he verifies why Faith Evans and Erykah Badu deserved to be honoured for their indelible contributions to R&B (00:53:58). Once again, the boys share their mutual excitement and befuddlement when breaking down some of the acts that were nominated and won awards (58:53).

- 'PROCEED WITH CAUTION' (Tekashi 6ix 9ine, Justine Skye, Wiley, Mariah Carey)Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!For today’s episode, the conversation is more streamlined to focus on many of the controversial and worrying news that took place in the last week. With the possibility of an XXXTentacion fictionalised series apparently on the way, the boys ponder on the media’s obsession with glorifying abusers (00:47:30). Justine Skye’s implicit confirmation that Sheck Wes was the man behind her recent domestic violence situation is raised as the latter continues to have his breakout moment (00:55:25). Much to Eden and Nic’s happiness, Tekashi 6ix Nine has been arrested and is facing life imprisonment (01:04:42). The boys discuss why his punishment will set a good example to artists similar to him.

The guys lift Michelle Williams up in prayer after the alarming revelation that her husband to be Chad Johnson mistakenly conflated race with mental health (1:12:48).
