    A LIVE REVIEW OF BEYONCÉ'S 'RENAISSANCE' - 2022 LONDON PODCAST FESTIVAL

    A LIVE REVIEW OF BEYONCÉ'S 'RENAISSANCE' - 2022 LONDON PODCAST FESTIVAL

    Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!

    On 17th September 2022, we were blessed with the opportunity to finally bring ‘Don’t Alert The Stans’ to the stage as part of the 2022 London Podcast Festival.

    As heavily teased on our social media accounts in the lead-up to the show, we chaired an in-depth discussion on all things pertaining to Beyoncé's latest album ‘RENAISSANCE’.

    After 4 years of doing the podcast, this marked our debut live show and we had an absolute ball. It was truly an honour and a dream come true.

    We want to send the maddest love to everyone who bought tickets and came down to share this moment with us in person. But of course we had to ensure that those who weren’t in attendance were able to listen to the insightful and hilarious conversation we had.

    So we’re happy to present the official live recording of our conversation…

    Not one to miss!

    R.E.S.P.E.C.T. (Cleo Sol x KOKO Live Review, Jamal Edwards’ Cause Of Death Revealed, Lil Nas X Beefing With The BET Awards, Rolling Stone’s List Of 200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums)

    Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!

    The Season 8 finale is here! It’s just Eden and Sope as Nic is in Madrid getting some well-deserved rest. Kicking things off is a review of Cleo Sol’s headline show at KOKO. The boys share their individual experiences of the concert and what it meant to hear particular songs in a live setting. They also reflect on Cleo Sol’s decade-long journey in music, and how she’s found herself at this watershed moment in her career (00:04:02). The news agenda begins with Jamal Edwards’, whose mother Brenda released an official statement confirming the cause behind his premature death in February was due in part to the use of recreational drugs (01:04:00). Next up is Lil Nas X, who has taken The BET Awards to task on social media and via an impending diss track, after it was announced that he received zero nominations for the upcoming ceremony later this month (01:22:19). Closing off the episode and the season as a whole is Rolling Stone Magazine, who published their list of what they believe are the 200 greatest Hip-Hop albums of all time, which of course resulted in many a contentious debate online (01:40:08).

    ‘DO THE SHADOWING’ (N-Dubz Sell Out Reunion Arena Tour, Isaiah Rashad Comes Out As Sexually Fluid, Halsey’s Music Under Hostage Until She Goes Viral on TikTok)

    ‘DO THE SHADOWING’ (N-Dubz Sell Out Reunion Arena Tour, Isaiah Rashad Comes Out As Sexually Fluid, Halsey’s Music Under Hostage Until She Goes Viral on TikTok)

    Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!

    For this week’s episode, it’s just Nic and Sope as Eden enjoys a well deserved break in Portugal. Before proceeding with the planned agenda, Nic and Sope ease into episode by having an open catch up. Elaborating on how they’re both feeling as they juggle work, writing, side projects, mental health and adulthood (00:01:02). Kicking off the news section this week is N-Dubz who’s recently-announced reunion arena tour has completely sold out. Leading to a hilarious conversation about the memories of their early days on Channel U and Tulisa’s solo endeavours (00:41:35). Next up is Halsey who took to social media to reveal that her label is refusing to release new music from until she can engineer and fake a viral moment on TikTok. Nic points out that Halsey’s post was possibly an ironic spoof but demonstrates a growing trend among artists who are being pressured by their teams to be more active on the platform (00:58:45). Rounding out the episode is Isaiah Rashad who during an in-depth interview with Joe Budden came out as sexually fluid. Sope takes Budden to task for asking ignorant questions that implicate negative stereotypes about queerness, while Nic points out possible the motives behind Isaiah’s stating he’s fluid as opposed to a more defined category (01:14:41).
