This week, THREE GENERATIONS are represented in the discussion about the TERRIFYING ASPECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA! Daddy-Daughter team, Big Tone & Lil' Tone first discussed this fascinating documentary last week, in episode 24.  But the tech gremlins struck and we were beset by audio problems - Li' Tone went AWOL & Big Tone was left all alone in Podcast Land! Meanwhile Coe family continued the discussion "off-air", and it turned out there was a young member of the family who couldn't wait to get on the show and start podcasting his views about this fascinating topic. So this week, Big Tone & Lil' Tone were THRILLED to be joined by grandson, Ben who was clearly born to podcast!

Will Boris's new Rule of Six prevent the UK from having to go back into a national lockdown?  Was it a good move by the government? Is Boris right to prevent people with no symptoms from getting tested when the USA's Chief Medical Adviser says it's a mistake?

This Daddy-Daughter, X-gen chat show was born out of the UK lockdown back in March. Since then, a lot has changed in the lives of Big Tone & Lil Tone; Big Tone's especially.  He & his wife, Kiki, have escaped to the countryside and bought a narrowboat called Tickety Boo. But now we are in the post-lockdown transition phase,  there's so much confusion about where the country is headed.  What the heck are the rules now?  Are we going to be forced back into lockdown?  Will life EVER be the same again? Listen to Big & Lil Tone as they chat thru these questions from their opposite ends of the generational continuum.

This MINI episode is a little CHEEKY one!  It's barely ten minutes long, so I'm calling it 13.5. Recording this on the fly - and all on my lonesome - allowed me to get away from packing up our Kensington property in readiness for our move to the countryside this week. And I felt that Lil Toni and I didn't leave enough time to wrap up this important topic about whether the CLIMATE EMERGENCY has been forgotten about. We agreed it had, but what can we do as individuals to avert a crisis for our species? I think there are three simple things we can do. But what do YOU think?

Another lively back and forth - Dad vs Daughter with some surprising outbreaks of agreement across the generational divide. BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT: Lil Tone gets offended and admits to having Tory friends - SHOCK/HORROR!  She admits to understanding how wounding her criticisms of the police service might have been. But Little Miss Anarchist hates the BBC & argues that the mainstream media fabricates video footage to prove a falsehood. Big Tone argues that ALL racism is wrong & questions the singular focus on anti-black racism to the exclusion of other forms of racism e.g. anti-semitism. They both rail against corporate & government lawlessness which is just another form of mob rule.  Ditto disgraceful apathy shown by MPs who are paid to represent their peeps!

After the appalling killing of George Floyd by a Minnesota cop, protesters in the city of Bristol, England pulled down a statue of Edward Colston (1636–1721).  They then beat it with sticks and chucked it in the river. Colston's statue was targeted by Black Lives Matter protesters because of his links to the slave trade.  Since the toppling, there have been calls for other statues to be brought down, including one of Winston Churchill.  But should we be judging ancient historic figures based on modern moral standards? Listen to Lil Toni robustly defend the protesters and find out what Big Daddy Tony thinks about it all.

Little Tone was in no mood today to tolerate any light-hearted banter from BigTone about his new narrowboat, nor any talk about his planned move to the English countryside. Instead, Little Miss Anarchist got right down to bashing the Police for institutional racism. Being a generation older and undoubtedly much wiser (can you guess who wrote this?), Big Tone mounts a spirited defence of the British Police.
