Ep.204 - PM Sunak & The Blue Check Black Market

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In A Week Where:

1. Liz Truss is gone as PM.
2. Rishi Sunak becomes Prime Minister.
3. Brittney Griner's appeal is rejected & will serve nine year prison sentence.
4. Multiple brands cut ties with Kanye West.
5. LGBT football fans told to be respectful at Qatar World Cup.

In Politics: (7:49) We have a THIRD Prime Minister in the space of a year. Rishi Sunak is finally in No.10, and whilst it's aesthetically interesting that he's British-Asian, it means jack shit when rubber meets the road.

In the first of two Tech segments: (20:14) We've all been involved in Phishing scams, but have you ever been involved in a Blue Check scam? Well, it's a thing now.

In Arts: (32:23) Since Lockdown, The UK Arts sector has been clawing to get back to 2019 levels, to no avail. Now, as the cost of living crisis drags on, orgs up & down the country are on their last legs.

Lastly, in the 2nd Tech segment: (48:02) I've talked about Voice Notes/Messages before on the show, I love them. But some people don't think so, which I find funny.

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?"
