Two and a Mic - The Social Podcast

Relationships, experiences, places and thoughts. I speak with individuals I have met along the way, talking about personal stories, impressions, life and dreams. Society is the sum of ups and downs, some we share, most we never hear of. Here some voices rise above the rest to tell their unique tales and I thank you all for allowing me to listen and record your stories. Find me on Twitter @TwoandaMic1 Cover Art photo by Nassos.

    The #AfD’s educational policies are dangerous and divisive - Pre-election 2025 Miniseries Part 2

    Educating our kids has a profound and long-lasting impact on the future of their generation and the nation. There is no way to underplay the importance. In the same way that we have carried forth the emotional and psychological distresses of our youth to varying degrees, so too shall our children. As we struggle to come to terms with the world as we find it, they will further struggle with a world confused and confounded with a total lack of reliable news sources, the guilt of their elders for having so acutely failed in our responsibility to pass on a better world than the one we found and on top of all of that attempting to wade through the chaos of division, climate change and growing uncertainty. Alternatively, we could try to find a way of reversing this polarising track and finding ways to bring our fractious communities together for the sake of our children.

    The BBC is broken, MSM has been hijacked, Information is filtered, the truth is MIA!

    When news stories broke, investigative news stories, controversial news stories, they broke for good reason. They were backed up by evidence and by courageous editors. They were stories which rocked the establishment, not because they were designed to rock the establishment, but because the stories needed to be told, regardless of who was affected by them. Here are some reasons I have come up with why stories should not be covered up: National interest – wrong National security – wrong To protect the integrity of office – wrong Because the object of the investigation has a lot of money and power – wrong Because the object of the investigation is influential – wrong Because the object of the investigation knows the owner of the paper – wrong Because the object of the investigation is a sponsor of the paper – wrong Because the object of the investigation contributes to the governing party – wrong Because the object of the investigation is a good person, usually – wrong Because the object of the investigation is a ranking official of an ally – wrong Because the object of the investigation has diplomatic immunity – wrong None of these reasons is an excuse to either cover up a story or avoid taking someone to court. If any of these excuses are used to cover up a story or to not drag someone before the courts, then we do not live in a democracy. This is for two reasons: 1) In every acceptable definition of democracy, there is a rule of law. 2) In every acceptable definition of democracy, the law is applied equally and fairly to everyone. Any divergence from this path, for any reason, is a sign of a failed democracy. If our main national news providers are involved in a programme of deliberately hiding the truth, the objective reporting of their journalists from the public, then we truly live in a failed state. Then the public is simply not considered mature enough or capable enough of understanding what is happening in the world. That is plainly wrong. If we want to have a media that represents the quality of reporting we deserve as intelligent and analytical beings then we need to demand that. Alternatively, we walk away from it, and stop paying the license fee. Thank you as always Esheru for your knowledge, analysis and your time. TwoandaMic clocking out. Enjoy!
