In the final episode of the Quarantine series, the mood has shifted from one of hurt and dismay to demands for action and solution. Statues have been toppled but where is the line drawn. Do evil deeds that have been neglected by history dampen any good that resulted from it. Does the greatness of a person overshadow the pains of the marginalised? One thing is clear is that more diversity is needed in powerful positions, but is if enough for real equality? It is important to buy from black business but are there more things to consider when the aim is to improve black livelihoods? Are there difficult topics the black community are avoiding? Will all of these actions and changes actually lead to a utopian world? Find out about all these topics and more in the final ep of the Quarantine series with our valued audience.

It seems like we all need to get used to the new normal following the  Covid-19 pandemic. With the government advising that the social  distancing measures could go on til the end of the year. TheNineToFiver  reflect on what it means for them and the world at large before  exploring the intracies of relationships with friends. From checking up  on them to mirroring their stances on certain people and topics. How far  are you willing to go for a friend? Most of us have gained more time  during this period and for many it is an opportunity to learn a new  skill or just be productive in general. There is a small but loud group  of people that say if you are not taking the once in a life time chance  to do this then you are wasting your time. TheNineToFivers discuss this  as they contemplate on their own actions during this time. There has  been a rise of negativity on social media at least and it begs the  question whether 'the devil make use idle hands'. Is mental health a get  out of jail free card regardless of behaviour? With the 27th  anniversary of Stephan Lawrence passing TheNineToFivers discuss what  actually sparks change in our society? Does it require a tragedy or  something catastropic or can it be achieved through positive mediums  too. One thing that has changed for most of us as we have aged has been  the relationships with our parent. It is interesting how the dynamics  have shifted as we have become adults, with many now claiming to 'parent  the parent' as they become older and more precious. Join us for another  engaging edition of TheNineToFivers Podcast.

Deep into the lockdown TheNineToFivers explore how they are coping  after so many weeks. Many people are stuggling to keep up with the rules but when the Government official themselves are floundering the rules it does not set the best example. It is only a matter of time however before the elephant in the room is brought up. In a heavy episode following the public execution of George Floyd and the emergence of various instances of injustice the question is brough up about what exactly can be done about racism. Is it here to stay? Or are things improving? It is discussed whether positions of power will help and whether the relationship with the police can ever be prepared. What is the best way to combat it? Systemic reforms, rioting, representation or a combination of these things? As these topics are discussed it develops into a discussion of whether you could be pro-black and interracial date or marry. TheNineToFivers share their views of the controversial topic and listen to their views of their audience members who stem from a variety of background. Naturally  this leads into a discussion on how piviotal it is for people of other racesto become true allies of the cause and continually use their voices and privileges to fight for equality. Lastly as the topic remains on equality, the question arises of how far people would be willing to go for gender equality in the work environment. Within the last year or so there have been high profile inquiries which have lead to male colleagues docking their own pay in order to have women on a level playing field. Do their high salaries make this easier or is this something the common man can and should do? Find out about all of these discussions and more in an extra-long and passionate episode of TheNineToFivers Podcast.
