Ep 98 - Frida Kahlo: Talent Vs Fame

from Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong) · host Josh Leuner and Sean O'Callaghan

In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean discuss the cultural legacy of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo ahead of a new opening of her work at the Tate in London. What is it about her art or perceived personality that still generates such infamy, decades after her death?The pair also discuss whether a disconnect exists between the influx of new members to the Green Party and what the political party actually advocates for. Are people throwing their support behind the Greens for single issues and, if so, is that a problem? And could Labour’s Andy Burnham actually turn out to be a progressive leader who pushes inclusive agendas?This episode also includes a bit of comic relief as Josh and Sean ask each other questions from the official Life in the UK test. Do they have what it takes to prove their Britishness?Enjoy the ride!#podcast #popculture #LGBTQ #CurrentAffairs #FridaKahlo #AndyBurnham #Greens #LifeInTheUK #UK #LondonAbout the HostsJosh Leuner is a London-based singer and plant-geek.
