Transatlantic Rebels

Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels.

In Episode 31, we take a look at two pivotal albums by one of Rochard's favourite singers, Bjork.

Jesal thought he was a relative newbie to Bjork... But it turns out Rochard picked "Post" (1995) and "Homogenic" (1997) - and Jesal was actually familiar with both!

Next week in Part II, we take a look at "Vespertine" (2001) and "Vulnicura" (2015).

Jesal is from the UK, and Rochard is from America. We like to talk in depth about albums, films, TV shows and books.

Rochard has a background in TV, acting, writing and many other areas of art creation. Jesal has a background in music: DJ, producer, artist, critic and other stuff.

Enjoy!

In Episode 28, we take a look at 2 wonderful albums by one of our favourite singers this decade, Janelle Monáe.

With brief discussions on her previous works, the main focus is on "The ArchAndroid" (2010) and "The Electric Lady" (2013).

There is also analysis on the underlying concept, and what lies next for the (now celebrated) actress. Will she complete the suites?

In Episode 26, we conclude our two-part look at the works of Madonna.

The second half of her career was (naturally) a tad quieter by her own standards, yet contained some of her best work and albums. With fewer attempts to dominate the silver screen, it's easier to focus on the "Music" (boom boom).

We also speculate on what lies next for Her Majesty.

In Episode 25, we begin a two-part look at the works of Madonna.

This part of her career was so expansive, with numerous albums, tours and ventures in Hollywood.

It's easy to forget how often Madge was on the front page of every paper, with imagery second to none and the ability to provoke like no other.

Next week, we cover 1998 ("Ray of Light") until 2015 ("Rebel Heart").

In Episode 24, we discuss the potential ramifications of Donald Trump becoming President of the USA. It's really happening. He won, YOU LOSERS!

Treat it as a time capsule for future generations/alien races to dig up and see what a couple of people thought, without filtering from the BIASED MEDIA YEAH BUZZFEED YOU FAILING PILE OF GARBAGE.

In other news, JESAL GOT HACKED BY RUSSIANS and they PISSED ALL OVER the audio quality.

MAKE PODCASTS GREAT AGAIN.

In Episode 23, we take our first look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Jesal is your average Marvel viewer, and Rochard knows every nook and cranny of the Universe.

The main focus is on four films (the three "Captain America" ones and "Age of Ultron"); discuss plenty of the other MCU releases since 2008; try to understand why they've been so successful; and look forward at what to expect next.

In Episode 22, we have a special guest returning to the show - Kage Sparks - for an in-depth book review.

"Black & White: The Way I See It" by Richard Williams is one of the most amazing books either of us have ever read, and we take you through why it's so incredible.

Richard Williams is the father of Venus and Serena Williams, but by the time you've finished with this book, you may well care far more about Richard... Shout out to Bart Davis, too.
