In episode 36 of Ruthie Me and My Dad, Ruthie celebrates her 18th birthday by giving dad the bad news that radio is dead. Also, she contemplates a boycott of Top Shop, 'but really it's such a good dress,' and has mixed feelings about the sacking of Apu from the Simpsons' Kwik-e-mart. Facebook's fake news comes under the microscope, as does the Afro hairstyle of dad's youth, and musically it's little-known Dutch singer of the '60s Therese Steinmetz versus hip-hop artist Jeremih.
