Ep.181 - Rwanda & Grenfell, 5 Years On

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Justin Bieber reveals facial paralysis from Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
2. A former British soldier has died fighting Russian forces.
3. British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira go missing in Brazil.
4. Queen Elizabeth II becomes the 2nd longest reigning monarch.
5. Scotland will make another attempt for independence.

In Society: (6:44) The UK take a blow in their effort to ship asylum seekers to Rwanda. Activists, protestors and even the EU's best efforts have halted the first flight but this creates a new low for UK domestic affairs.

In the 1st of two Life segments: (18:58) It has been five years since the Grenfell Tower fire. Still no justice for the lives lost, still slowly moving through the meat grinder that is the UK Justice System.

In Podcasting: (33:50) Spotify has been going through it on the podcast front. But the source of relief for Spotify from the Joe Rogan fallout come from unlikely places. Batman & Scotland Yard.

Lastly, in the 2nd segment: (49:27) People are beginning to ditch dating apps wholesale, opting for more "real-life" interactions.
