    Peaceful Protests Don't Work

    Peaceful Protests Don't Work

    “A riot is the language of the unheard” - who said this MLK or Malcolm X? 
    Whether the early Civil Rights Movement or the Women’s Suffrage - in every uprising or upheaval, there seem to be those who opt for more peaceful methods and others for more “violence”. Which is more effective for making actual legislative changes? It’s A Continent Pod’s Chinny debates lawyer and content-creator, Tashan, as we compare and contrast the effectiveness of peaceful and violent protests.

    Pressed: Athletes can't pick and choose their press interactions

    Pressed: Athletes can't pick and choose their press interactions

    "I'm here so I won't get fined" - Marshawn Lynch
    Fancy cars, huge endorsements, grand salaries ... all are in the name of the game of being a top athlete in today's day and age. We missed out on one thing though... press interviews - the bane of an athlete's career. Athletes' participation in press conferences is an old-age delete which frequently comes back up - Naomi Osaka's decision to not engage sparked outrage everywhere and accusations of snowflaking. Consequently, athletes have started taking the narrative into their own hands with the likes of Paul Pogba and Michael Jordan. Chatterbox Podcast's Ayowande debates sports enthusiast Okemdi as we determine: Do the press abuse the access they're given? Are athletes entitled considering how much press boosts their career?

    True Friendship is the Only Ship That Won't Sink

    True Friendship is the Only Ship That Won't Sink

    It's no secret that we generally center romantic relationships in our society. Whether through TV, Music or even Academic Research - however friendship - the other relationship that we get to choose seems to get pushed to the side. Content creator, Reni (xoReni) debates I Dunno TBH's Veronica as we determine whether the centring of friendships would see fewer issues in loneliness and connection that we see today? Or is it more that we need to expand our notions of romance to be more expansive to gain the much needed healing from them? Should we hold all relationships equally in our lives?

    The Motion: Who's The Pettiest Of Them All

    We're taking a pause from some of our champion debates to reflect on some of The Motion community's pettiest debates with siblings or roommates. Have you ever had a fallout over toilet roll? Not ordered a meal because you know your sister's gonna copy it? Stolen your sister's food and argued with her about the amount you stole rather than whether you stole it or not?

    Political Indifference: Progressive or Pathetic?

    Political Indifference: Progressive or Pathetic?

    We’re told our vote has power - but is this just illusionary.? People who don't vote are easily scrutinised, however, the political system ostracises so many - why should they be forced to engage? Do you save yourself stress & disappointment when you stay politically indifferent - or is it selfish & a privileged mindset? The Motion's Fé Oj debates Brown Sugar's Hannah as Twenties Squared's Nicola hosts!

So good!! Worth a listen

I love this podcast. It’s smart, considered and short! Not much of a podcast person but The Motion has proved the exception. Can’t recommend it enough. Listen to laugh, learn and argue with your earphones.
