Ep.154 - The Nationality and Borders Bill
On the first WG of 2022: How music evokes memories, Apple's lukewarm interest in Film & TV; The backwards Nationality & Borders Bill, and the blk artists of Thatcher's Britain.
In a week where:
1. Ghislaine Maxwell, is found guilty on sex trafficking-related charges.
2. Betty White dies aged 99
3. Max Julien, star of "The Mack", dies aged 88
4. Winnie The Pooh, Hemingway, Agatha Christie novels & over 400k sound recordings enter the public domain.
5. It's the anniversary of the US Capitol Riots.
In the first of two segments on The Arts: (7:00) Music at it's full potential can be a time machine and when you find those songs after years of not spinning them, they can connect you to things you may have completely forgotten about.
In Tech: (19:13) In light of Apple breaking $3 Trillion in market cap, one side of the tech giant is baffling industry people. Why is Apple so content for having a mid-tier streaming service?
In Current Affairs: (34:56) The Government are so close in their effort to push into law the "Nationalities & Borders Bill", a law built to make migration harder and in it's essence, rooted in Empire.
Lastly, in the 2nd segment on The Arts: The Blk Art Group, a briefly bright collective of UK Black artists, built to combat Thatcher's Britain, are gaining a new audience via an exhibition at the Tate.
