In today's episode I discuss the glorification of external beauty - this episode is so brief I think that's about as much as I should reveal.

In today's episode, I discuss the storming of the Capitol and why this major insult to America's ostensible democracy occurred. You don't have to go far back in the chain of events before social media's role in the act of terror that led to five deaths becomes evident. Social media have neglected their duties and are refusing to accept culpability, going forward this must change.

In today's episode, I discuss high and low pleasures and art forms. I thought it'd be nice to discuss something of a little less pertinence than some of the other issues I cover, just to have an interesting debate. Enjoy! 

In today's episode, I discuss freedom of expression to what extent we are entitled to voicing our opinion (at any time), the value of context and how to handle times where people transgress our ideas of what is politically correct.

In today's episode, I discuss the climate emergency, how real the issue is, and why I think we are at the point where we may need to start introducing laws which can limit certain businesses and even some personal freedoms simply to ensure the continuity of our kind on this planet. 

In this episode of the podcast, I discuss the trite, racist phraseology we use daily, the portrayal of non-white people in novels, and the dangerously divisive narrative of Caucasians versus everyone else. 

In today's episode, I discuss why feminism is not man-hating. This, despite some misandrists who spread hatred under the guise of feminism, despite the way feminists were branded historically to suppress the growth of the movement, and despite female feminists tending to, understandably, pay more attention to issues of female oppression than issues concerning men.

In today's episode, I discuss the persistent, systemic racism that exists in the US, the black lives matter movement and sufferances that make the movement a necessity. 

In today's episode, I discuss why the reelection of the incumbent, Donald Trump, would be disastrous and detrimental to an already struggling nation, and therefore not simply for him being Mr Trump's antithesis I'm 'ridin' with Biden'. Though, of course, I am a British teenager, and despite spending 3 years in the US, wouldn't be able to vote myself.

In today's episode I discuss China's 're-education' camps, simply one part of an iniquitous and decades-long crackdown on Muslims, - particularly Uighur Muslims - amid governmental fears of terrorism. I will provide testimonies from escaped detainees describing their harrowing experiences, the global response to the crisis, and what we can do as individuals to help.

In today's episode, I discuss why Britain's meritocracy is a hoax, with the stagnation of social mobility and children from low-income backgrounds unable to reach the heights of those steeped in privilege. 

In this episode of the podcast, I will be discussing the recent bans on hijabs, and other religious and political symbols in many public Belgian universities, and explaining why despite misconceptions about the hijab it is such a crime to repress this group of mostly young Muslim women. The ban has lead to the formation of groups such as #Hijabisfightback, and protest online and in person. Muslim women, especially Hijabis are already limited in their occupational prospects as they continually encounter discrimination, and are often subject to abuse and hate crime in Europe due to widespread Islamophobia. Having suffered at the hands of terrorist attacks, some Europeans wrongfully believe terrorists have any shared sentiments with other Muslims, where really, Muslim extremists are a fraction of the Islamic community and are wholly unrepresentative of the overwhelming majority.
