Did you ever imagine what the last couple of years would be like? Yeah, so did we. Was it what we envisioned? Er, nope.
Whether it's Covid-19, war, systemic racism, politics, celebrities or the general public, there's a lot of disappointment in our veins.
Come and share in our woe - it'll be therapeutic. But be warned, this is not an objective show.
We have views.

Fascists & Heretics
We're back after a few weeks hiatus (because, you know, life), which was probably at the wrong time given the amount of election stuff happening.
Paul is worried about the increasingly mainstream right-wing populist noise and the potential for it to turn in to votes. As the campaign starts to reach its climax, events are starting to get wild.
Even though Phylecia is playing with wild animals in Canada, she's still got her finger on the pulse of the US political shifting plates, again towards the right, as views and legislation starts to really get heretical.

Trump Convicted
What starts off as gentle analysis ends with a discussion about what is legalised slavery and why people excuse those with power.
A smattering of UK election news, but Paul is bored of it already.

Sororities
UK Election news update: Sunak wants to send kids to war.
US Trial news: 45 may be convicted.
What he needs is a sorority. In this episode, Phylecia talks through what a sorority is and why sisters are denouncing them and their activities.
What has this got to do with worshipping your husband like a god?

Election called
Rishi Sunak has called a general election for the UK on 4 July 2024.
Join us on this special episode, as we start to cover the first UK general election since this show started.
We look at the optics of the announcement and discuss the process of UK elections. This is just a lay person's interpretation of what's about to happen, but Paul is excited nonetheless.
Discover just how much Phylecia knows about British politics.

Poop Transfers
Paul made Phylecia watch Finland's Eurovision entry before the show. She was not prepared.
Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nidDtyS0Wo
The 2024 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest turned out to be a bit of a Euroshambles in the end with boycotts, disqualification, booing and a suggestion of dodgy televoting.
This modern day propaganda technique is having an impact on culture and audiences across the divide. Can we escape it? Probably not. We discuss what's happening in the Republic of Georgia and many examples of governments wanting to prevent 'foreign' involvement of their media. What are they scared of?
In other interesting journalism, a woman received a fecal transfer from her brother to solve her IBS symptoms and how has acne like him. What makes someone do this? How does that conversation go? Why are there so many unanswered questions in the article?

Would Paul be prepared to donate his poop to Phylecia and what would she start to suffer from as a result? These are the important questions.

Rap Battles
UK Labour's victory in the local elections pretty much guarantees there's no general election any time soon.
We get a HEM bookclub update from Phylecia on the new cold wars at play and learn more about what's happening that we don't know about. We also worry that Phylecia is being sucked into a deep hole from which she will not emerge.
What's this got to do with rap? Again, it's down to Phylecia to explain.
