Ep.143 - Little Simz & Channel 4 "Black To Front"

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Arlo Parks wins the '21 Mercury Prize.
2. A Royal Aide says The Queen supports BLM.
3. Emma Radacanu wins the US Open.
4. 12-15-year-olds in the UK will be offered the COVID-19 vaccine.
5. Prince Andrew gets served.

In Music: (8:05) The one album that has been on my mind in the past couple of weeks is Little Simz' "Sometimes I Might Be Introvert". So I thought I'd give Simz some flowers.

In a double-dip of Film/TV: (20:50) Channel 4 recently did "Black To Front" where a whole day of programming featured majority-black talent. So in this double-feature of sorts, we look at how they got it done.

And then we look at an analysis of the day itself.

Lastly, in Life: (52:33) A lot of global discourse recently has been what the fate of Afghani women will be in the new Taliban regime. And when we zoom out a little, we see that societies that treat women badly fare worse overall.

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?"
