Obama on Wokeness & Our Love for Modern Love <3

from The High Low

This week we discuss Snapchat dysmorphia, the data-collection of period-tracking apps and why Dolly wants&nbsp;to shag Autumn. Also today we discuss Obama's speech-gone-viral on wokeness - which wasn't really about wokeness but on seeking not to shame, or humiliate others, in the name of&nbsp;progress. Is there space for Obama's brand of gradualism - or do we actually need radical change?And we talk about&nbsp;Amazon Prime's Modern Love, based&nbsp;on the New York Times column, which we have both fallen hook, line and sinker for - because we are but sentimental fools.E-mail&nbsp;[email protected] @thehighlowshowLinks&nbsp;Modern Love on Amazon Prime&nbsp;https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Love-Season-1/dp/B07VNF5351Modern Love, Edited by Daniel Jones&nbsp;https://www.waterstones.com/book/modern-love/daniel-jones/9780307351043One Dimensional Woman, by Nina Power&nbsp;https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Dimensional-Woman-Zero-Books/dp/1846942411Sabotage, by Emma Gannon for The Pound Project&nbsp;https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/poundproject/the-pound-project-part-six-emma-gannonExposure, by Olivia&nbsp;Sudjic&nbsp;https://peninsulapress.co.uk/product/exposureA Woman's Beauty: Put Down or Power Source?
