Ep.258 - Arts Funding & Adapting To Winter

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Oklahoma 13-year-old believed to be first person ever to beat Tetris.
2. South Africa accuses Israel of Genocide via the ICJ.
3. At least 95 people were killed & more than 210 wounded after a pair of Islamic State bombings at an Iranian cemetery.
4. Head of Britain’s police chiefs says force is ‘institutionally racist’.
5. German Football legend Franz Beckenbauer dies aged 78.

In Law: (8:19) So British Israelis going to Gaza to participate in the ethnic cleansing/genocide. But why is there no word on putting these guys in jail? (Article by David Hearst)

In Education: (27:59) The Claudine Gay "scandal" is a great loss for higher education's defences against right-wing bullshit. But - as always - there's a bigger question worth asking: Why don't we bin these legacy Universities such as Harvard? (Article by Jon Schwartz)

In Arts: (41:53) I'm having a sense of Deja vu, but it seems that the message of saving the arts in the UK has once again fallen on deaf ears. Now, multiple local councils are all but killing their funding in the arts. (Article by Vanessa Thorpe)

Lastly, in Life: (56:15) As I write these full show notes, I'm cold as fuck. So let's find out together how animals adapt to winter since I clearly cannot. (Article by Peter Stenvinkel)
