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

On Ep.204 of WG: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, The Blue Check Black Market, the slow death of UK Arts & Voice Notes.
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.
