In Sports: (6:25) Whilst the NBA All-Star Weekend has been & gone, I still wanted to talk about it because the dialogue & solutions around it all are patently wrong. (Article By Jesse Washington)

In Photography: (26:44) As my photography journey continues, you begin to hear about certain names over and over again. One of which is Saul Leiter who - whether you've heard of him or not - made New York his canvas. (Article By Christian House)

In the first of two Music segments: (37:19) Hitting on a story I had saved, this is all about a Black nightclub that somehow existed in what was a very far-right East London back in the 80s. (Article By Daniel Dylan Wray)

Lastly, in the 2nd Music segment: (45:06) For the past couple of weeks I have been wanting to talk about this group, so now I can finally tell you about the story of Cymande. (Article By Shaun Curran)
