Season 3 Episode 1 - What the heck is a custard apple?!
It's that time again... We've emerged from our extended hiatus to signal the end of hot girl summer and reunited on the airwaves to bring you our first instalment of season 3! We wanted to give you some lighthearted content as the days get darker (and shorter), so this week we'll be discussing pivotal moments, phases, and *cultural resets* that are meaningful to each of us to celebrate Black History Month!
Before we get into it, we unpack a few events that have dominated the newsfeed and insta explore page this month, including; the unveiling of the statue commemorating the windrush generation, THAT blackfishing incident and the news of Matt Hancock's bizarre and fleeting job promotion.
Tune in to hear us get nostalgic about some key moments in Black culture...

Is Love Island trying to ruin our Black Hot Girl Summer?
This week we will speaking about race and reality TV!
It’s that time of year when Britain showcases it’s newly developed top export, the Love Island series.
We have some die hard reality tv show fans in this joint, and this week we’ll be exploring how we view and experience reality tv shows as Black women. Does the way reality tv producers interact with race and diverse or "un-diverse” casts determine how much we can enjoy our reality tv?
How do these choices reflect wider patterns with racial socialisation and concepts of desirability in general? Is looking to interact with racial discourse in Love Island reviews a barrier to our hot girl summer? Or is it naive to think we can ignore blatant racial undertones in reality tv? Tune in to hear our thoughts!

Let’s talk about accountability...
In this week's episode, we'll be doing a little “newsround” format. We'll be discussing 3 topics in current news, and our thoughts and opinions on them largely relating to the theme of accountability. This week you can hear out thoughts on the Grenfell tragedy, In the Heights casting controversy, and the Twitter ban in Nigeria.
Can minorities communities move forward without our oppressors taking accountability? We explore this question and how it relates to various facets of our lives, from what we read on social media, see on our tv screens and hear from our governments.
This week was also our 1 year anniversary as a podcast! So a huge thank you to everyone who has listened, commented, followed and interacted with us!
