Ep.277 - Societal Change & LaToya Ruby Frazier

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Two elderly Just Stop Oil protesters are charged after attempting to break into the Magna Carta.
2. The BAFTA TV Awards go down.
3. Northern Lights shine across the UK, US & Canada.
4. Egypt joins South Africa's ICJ Genocide case.
5. Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100.

In Sports: (12:42) My thirst for the Summer Olympics grows as we near towards the two weeks of non-stop sport. But with the positive of hosting, comes the inevitable negative of the vulnerable getting shafted somehow. (Article By Umer Hussain, Adam Ali, MacIntosh Ross & Shakiba Moghadam)

In TV: (29:13) The case for preservation is an essential one in my mind, especially in this day & age where shows/films can disappear from streaming sites in a flash. Enter a search for a VHS tape. (Article By Jason Okundaye)

In Life: (41:54) Year on year, life expectancy grows. With the prospect of more and more of us growing older for longer, it would be a great idea to future-proof potential problems with significant societal change. (Article By Martin Wolf)

Lastly, in Photography: (55:11) Got another Photography exhibition that I would love to hit: Artist/Activist LaToya Ruby Frazier and how she uses her art to shine a light on forgotten communities. (Article By Veronica Esposito)
