🎙️ Today on TDA (The Day After): E781 - 19/08/25

We kicked things off with some tech hiccups - static, buzz, and mic hums - but the community held us down while we tested Discord calls live on air. (Naturally :))

From there, Brent shared stories about his early music days, writing for Tom Grennan, and why he’s planning to return to his first love - music - once Phase 3 of TNB is settled. Expect exclusive unreleased tracks, reference vocals, and archives dropping soon on Patreon 👀

Big shoutout to Ed & Energy for stepping up as our new TNB community managers, helping build the family stronger every day.

Headlines covered:

• A gangland shooting in East London that left a 9-year-old girl injured.

• Critically ill Palestinian children being evacuated to the UK for treatment.

• Rent in England hitting crisis levels, with London tenants paying over 40% of income.

• Ukraine’s $100bn US weapons deal proposal.

• Hamas reportedly accepting a ceasefire/hostage deal framework.

We also debated whether cosmetic surgery and artificial wombs in China show progress or a worrying obsession with image and control.

💡 Reminder: Full replays won’t stay on YouTube - catch the visuals only on Patreon. Audio will always be on Spotify & Apple.
