Today’s episode is serving up a little bit of everything — from politics to pop culture and a touch of Black Mirror dystopia. We’re diving into Trump’s grand plan to remodel the White House (because of course he is), the renters’ rights bill that could finally rebalance power between landlords and tenants, and the shocking Talk TV interview that reignited the conversation around racism in British media. Plus, this week’s long read explores the disturbing trend of influencers putting isolated Indigenous tribes at risk — all in the name of content.
