This week we're chatting about two pretty unique topics so you're definitely in for a treat. On this week's episode, we spoke about: 

Do POC actors have a right to voice animated POC characters? We chat whitewashing in animation/tv cartoon series, after Ricky & Morty creator Dan Harmon was quizzed about it last week.

It's an age old debate; does video game violence impact us in real life? We chat about that + the knock on effect it has on AI systems like Alexa and Siri.
