'LOVE, PEACE AND SOUL' (Soul Train Awards, Childish Gambino & Radio 1)

Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans! For the penultimate episode of season 1, the news winds down and the boys follow accordingly, allowing for more free-flowing and tangential conversation. Radio 1’s poaching of Rickie, Melvin and Charlie from Kiss FM and what this means for diversity in broadcasting starts off the news agenda (00:40:00). The entirety of the Soul Train Awards is discussed in detail with Sope, Eden and Nic kicking things off with the soul cypher segment (00:44:50). Sope passionately preaches about the need to keep award shows like Soul Train alive as he verifies why Faith Evans and Erykah Badu deserved to be honoured for their indelible contributions to R&B (00:53:58). Once again, the boys share their mutual excitement and befuddlement when breaking down some of the acts that were nominated and won awards (58:53). Randomly this leads to a fiery dialogue about whether is correct to term Childish Gambino as a singer or rapper (01:04:26). Not one to miss!
