Ep.223 - TERF Island, Dorothy Ashby & Grey

In a week where:
  1. Cancer and heart disease vaccines ‘ready by end of the decade’. 
  2. Jon Rahm wins The Masters.
  3. Classified US Intelligence documents leak on Discord servers. 
  4. NBA Playoffs begin. 
  5. Reggae Sound System Pioneer Jah Shaka dies.
In Society: (9:40) Trans people are facing continued static from all corners of society. It's very obvious that it's risen significantly in recent years, but 156% in four years???

In Music: (26:14) One of my favourite albums of the year so far is "Harpista" Brandee Younger's "Brand New Life". And just when I thought the album was great, Brandee Younger herself dropped a little history lesson to make it even more great.

Lastly, A Long Read! (34:07) We head to WePresent for "Fade To Gray - Why is color disappearing from the world?" by Neelam Tailor. The title explains itself, detailing the slow death of colour in many shades of life.
