🎙️ Today on TDA (The Day After): E782 - 20/08/25

In this episode, we welcomed Temi (Gin & Gist) and Fizzy (director & producer) to the studio, and the vibes were flowing from early. From banter about Brent’s “angelic” singing and live show petitions, to family stories and creative hustles, the energy was all the way up.

We also tackled the topic of the day: identity and belonging - looking at Jamaicans of different backgrounds, “white Yardie,” and whether diasporans project their own struggles onto others. The conversation got deep about Britishness, Nigerian roots, and raising kids with culture.

📰 Headlines covered:

• High Court injunction halting asylum seekers at the Bell Hotel.

• Trump’s Ukraine “security guarantees” and Europe’s response.

• Congo’s M23 rebels suspending peace talks.

• Norwegian royal’s son indicted on serious charges.

• Russia’s biggest drone and missile attack this month.

• Labour’s betrayal of Diane Abbott, Britain’s first Black woman MP.

We closed with an update on Dr. Umar Johnson’s school drama, the $76k auction threat, and what it says about leadership, accountability, and community trust.
