In Politics: (9:17) The US is ran by old people, their upcoming Presidential election will literally involve their two oldest incumbents ever; who knew that US officials with dementia would pose a security risk! (Article by Ken Klippenstein)
In the 1st of two Culture segments: (18:47) One of my more recent additions to my "heroes" list is Cultural Theorist Stuart Hall. Even though he passed away in 2014, his ideas still permeates in academia & wider society, punctuated by an unpublished manuscript discovered in his archive. (Article by Donna Ferguson)

Lastly, in the 2nd Culture segment: (48:04) If you've spun WG for a while, you quickly understand that I'm a Hip-Hop guy, but sometimes it's worth getting back to basics. So let's talk about the political roots of Hip-Hop. (Article by Dwayne Oxford)
