In Life: (11:38) After Assata Shakur's death last month, I wanted to find a solid article about her life, struggles and the lessons she leaves all of us. After a bit of searching, I found one. (Article By Destiny Washington)

In Society: (30:29) There has been a myth spread about the events preceding Windrush that the UK Government at the time asked members of the Commonwealth to come over. Turns out they never wanted us. (Article By Arthur Torrington & Bill Hern)

In Music: (42:20) BBC jam their foot in their mouths again, gassing up an AI song for their platform built for upcoming artists when they easily could have not done that. (Article By Nick Reilly)

Lastly, in Sports: (52:44) What happens when a shoe with your name on it comes out but you aren't in the best place to market it? Enter the litany of NBA players currently injured but have shoes to hock. (Article By Ian Stonebrook)
