Ep.285 - UK Athletics & Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. The General Election goes down.
2. Reformist Masoud Pezeshkian wins Iran presidential election.
3. French Left coalition New Popular Front win French Parliamentary elections.
4. Sir Lewis Hamilton wins a record 9th British Grand Prix.
5. Hurricane Beryl rips through The Caribbean & Southern US.

In Politics: (6:52) With the dust settled on the General Election - and in effort to talk about stories/commentary that aren't being brought up in regular news - the left is making ground and with the way Tory Lite are going, can fill in a gap. (Article By Nicholas Beuret)

In the first of two Sports segments: (23:07) The Team GB Athletics squad has been announced and some athletes who didn't make the cut are being very vocal about the unfair nature of it all. (Article By Jeremy Wilson)

In the 2nd Sports segment: (33:11) UK Athletics have faced the situation head on and the UKA Chair pens a response. So who is on the right here? (Article By Ian Beattie)

Lastly, in Health: (48:54) I can be a bit of a daydreamer; I love staring into empty space, but is it all part of something called Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome? (Article By Alex Nurse)
