A political episode lamenting how money, status and nobility combine in our modern age to protect people from being held to account for harmful and/or criminal behaviours. I do this by observing Boris Johnson's performance in the House at the PMQ, the lawsuit against Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction as sex offender.

A review of the TV series Marcella and analysis of missing white woman syndrome.

This episode is a continued review of the film Encanto, a bit more commentary on Molly Mae, the discriminatory Nationality and Borders bill, and Netflix review of Stay Close.

This episode covers a variety of themes including the politics of repatriation for Black people living in the diaspora, Molly Mae's podcast comments, the metaverse and implications of wholly digital communities, the importance of recognizing culture as transient as opposed to fixed, the need to document history for future generations and the influence of capitalism on our approaches to our personal, political and professional lives.
