Ep.193 - Mick Lynch & Skin Whitening

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Spain suffer days of wildfires.
2. Cineworld prepares to file for bankruptcy.
3. European Championships finish up.
4. Oleksandr Usyk beats Anthony Joshua via Split Decision to retain Heavyweight Titles.
5. Singapore will remove ban on gay marriage.

In Sports: (11:44) The European Championships end the six-week barrage of major champs in Athletics circles, the last word being one that has been echoed in recent years: female athletes & menstruation.

In Politics: (24:34) There are many people that I pray to have a downfall; one is Michael Gove who has come out of frontbench politics "clean" but don't get it twisted, his legacy should be noted as unashamedly crap.

In the first of two Society segment: (36:15) We've gassed the General Secretary of the RMT Mick Lynch before, and the longer the strike summer goes, the more we get to know the defacto face of the strike summer.

Lastly, in the 2nd Society segment: (52:10) Skin whitening is a billion dollar industry that preys on black people around the world; but now, those products are becoming lethal and giving even more irreparable damage.
