Ep.119 - "No Evidence of Institutional Racism"

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. The Suez Canal blockage that lasted nearly a week reportedly held up $400m worth of goods every single hour.
2. A Bristol protest gets violent as police assault protesters & journalists.
3. British Summer Time is here.
4. The missing person case of Richard Okorogheye is ongoing.
5. Myanmar continues to crumble as 2,000 people flee to the Thailand border after airstrikes.

In the first of two Music segments: (5:52) Spanish Live Music groups teamed up to host an experimental concert with 5,000 people in one arena, all wearing masks and all taking tests before they're allowed in. The results could pave the way for every other show in the future.

In the first of two Life segments: (19:46) Social Media blew up once people found out that the Home Office spent a dumb amount of money last year and offers up so many questions like "how much stuff do you need to buy to rack up 5k in Primark?!"

In the 2nd Music segment: (34:58) UK Festival lineups have been coming thick & fast in the past few weeks, but the gender disparity for a lot of them is woefully bad.

Lastly, in the 2nd Life segment: (51:31) On the day I record, the Government dropped a 200+ page report about Race in the UK and the deeper it goes, the more questionable the results get.

Thank you for listening! If you want to contribute to the show, whether it be sending me questions or voicing your opinion in any way, peep the contact links below and I'll respond accordingly. Let me know "What's Good?"
