501 - Prince Harry, CheckTate and Benedict's last plantation party.

Black in a Box

The episode about broken social contracts. We begin our first pod of 2023 with Prince Harry's media blitz about his stripped royal status. He thought he was the Prince who was promised until the reality of falling in love with and marrying a mixed race woman revealed royal status is not unconditional, nor is it afforded equally (4:41). We then discuss the rise and elevation of misogynist huckster Andrew Tate to internet sensation status by a generation of men feeling as though they were promised more than what they have (21:17). The family of Benedict Cumberbatch may well be about to have less than they have. We talk about Barbados its high profile plans for reclamation of generational lands used for slave plantations (37:19). Finally we finish on Home Sec Suella Braverman's reported Windrush generation betrayal (53:11), before closing out on the music that made our 2022 (1:01:05). Like. Share. Subscribe.
