Comedy
The quarantine is over in the Czech Republic and to celebrate the gang is back with a very special live episode on the subject of the recent Black Lives Matter protests in the USA and around the world. Releasing a little later than usual due to technical issues, Grant Gallacher, our comedian host, is joined by Phil Micallef, our one man house band and Kristýna Haklová, our stand in anchor while Katie Anderson is away. Also guesting on the podcast this week is: Erik Beckett - our Trends correspondent, here to talk about the history of riots in the US and what that means for today, Sean Ríordáin - our Brooklyn correspondent, here to talk to us about defunding the police and a city that has already tried exactly that, a surprise mystery guest (voiced by Meredith Clarke) who is related to our Conservative American correspondent Alan Henderson and has similarly hilarious yet appalling views. In addition to this fantastic line up of comedians we also have Téaira Marque, a black activist who spoke beautifully at the recent BLM protests here in Prague and who was invited on the show to prevent us from whitewashing this issue in a famously homogeneously caucasian country. This episode is funny, fasinating and hopefully will give our listeners a greater understanding of exactly what the BLM movement is about, what it is not about and why you should never mess with Big Momma.
