'Wake Up' by Arcade Fire - 2004

So this week's 'Echoes From The Void!' #EFTV has got a few things to say about a few different topics!

S'posed friends seem to turn on each other with 'Eternal' reunion fail. Tinder @tinder add a new feature, and two companies (Nissan & Lego) take a different approach to carob emissions! EA have a new football offering and the EU being dumb around information and X!!!

THEN, we cast our eye on 'Season Six' of Netflix @netflix long running anthology show, 'Black Mirror'!!!

This week:

- Eternal isn't forever, thankfully!!!

- £4,925 to 'Swipe Right', really Tinder???

- Nissan & Lego - Different views on carbon emissions!

- Is EA Sports FC really a gamble????

- The EU says X has the most 'Disinformation'.....duh!?!

REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATIONS

- TV: Black Mirror - Season 6 - thoughts

'Rap Shit' by Torae & Marco Polo - 2023

Yes, yes, yes, 'Echoes From The Void!' #EFTV is here again, for your thought provoking nonsense of the week!

We have Adidas' CEO and CNN telling half truths, Leslie Jones hates differing opinions, and Formula One & Felipe Massa are definitely not on the same track. We ask questions around the whole Russell Brand situation that people seem to be ignoring, as well as wondering how Neuralink may change the future!

THEN, we take a look at the first episode of the new Apple TV series 'Still Up'!

This week:

- The baffling Adidas & Kanye situation!

- Is Leslie Jones just trying to sell books???

- Massa vs F1, what should be done???

- Russell Brand, YouTube and the Law

- Neuralink - The road to cyborgs or improvement

REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATIONS

- TV: Still Up - Season One: Episode One - thoughts
