Ep.155 - The Colston Four & Method Acting

In a week where:

1. Novak Djokovic and Australia compete in the "how can I root for both to lose?" competition.
2. The "Colston Four" is acquitted from criminal damage charges.
3. Citizens of Kazakhstan protest. State responds with a violent response.
4. Actor Sidney Poitier dies aged 94.
5. Calvin Simon, the co-founder of Parliament-Funkadelic, dies aged 79.

In Race & Society: (3:53) "The Colston Four", four people involved in the dunking of Bristol's Edward Colston statue, were acquitted by a jury. And whilst we can conversate about whether this "sets a precedent", I just want to gas up the collective of people that decided to do what Bristol councillors were, for some reason, hesitant on.

In Music: (15:25) The UK Music Industry is still reckoning with The Exit and la di da, the Government isn't providing much help.

In Film/TV: (31:42) I personally have always been side-eyeing the concept of "Method" acting but never really looked into it. But luckily for me, my hunch was right. The process is not what you think it is.

Lastly, in Education: (44:09) We finally have some evidence of school students being taught a more diverse curriculum. And as it turns out, they bloody like it.

Thank you for listening! If you want to contribute to the show, whether it be sending me questions or voicing your opinion in any way, peep the contact links below and I'll respond accordingly. Let me know "What's Good?"
