In this the most spontaneous of my recent episodes, Esheru, the gallant, the informed and the flexible, joins me, from a cafe in Sweden no less, to analyse as quickly as his cappuccino would allow, the result of the US Election 2024.
We talk about some of the race dynamics, gender breakdown and why things turned out the way they did.
Is there any solace to be found from our discussion? We have opinions and no more. We hope to have given you food for thought and I welcome your thoughts by way of response. How do you see President no. 47 doing? What changes will his election have on the world? And where next for the Democratic Party? Answers in a tweet please...
As always, thank you Esheru for your time and knowledge.
Enjoy!

This episode delves deeper into the human wonder that was Thomas Sankara in part two of our podcast on Burkina Faso. Sankara was a visionary, a dedicated Burkinabe and someone who genuinely wanted to make the world a better place. Even when in following the letter of the law, some people who failed in a coup against him were executed, he was dismayed. He did not want them to be executed. Yet he accepted the rule of law.
In the next episode of our trip through the history of Burkina Faso, we will venture into a story that looks at the demise of Thomas Sankara and the dictatorial rule of a friend and ally who turned his back.
It is interesting to note as an aside that none of the information referred to in our podcast is secret, designated confidential or indeed hard to find, yet the horrific violation of sovereignty by western nations is remarkably underplayed by mainstream media. There is a dissociative characteristic that does not allow us truly to fathom the actions conducted by western authorities on other nations. We ignore the severity and illegality of them because they were done by our ‘side.’ Yet when any similar activity occurs from another state there is absolute outrage
Let us look at two examples. France, a former colonial power and current neo-colonial power, creates a backstory of corruption and treachery against a leader in an African country and with the help of allies like the UK seeks to introduce a regime change to bring about a more amicable trading partner. The media is relatively silent on the whole thing. Russia sends two spies to the UK to murder a person they have labelled a national security risk, and the UK media goes crazy, and it is thereafter always referred back to.
In my opinion both of these actions are wrong. The difference I refer to is the prejudicial role the media plays in its reporting. I would invite people to reconsider many of the truths they believe they know, especially if they were taught such things at school. If we are to allow our opinions to dictate our actions, then we are responsible for making sure our opinions are based on facts. That also means do not automatically accept whatever you hear on a podcast. What we talk about, if they are topics that interest you, should inspire you to do a bit of fact checking yourselves. The world today is highly volatile, and understanding why this is the case, and how to diffuse the situation is fundamental if we wish to try to pass on a habitable world to the next generation.
I am as usual joined by Esheru, who I shall dub “Esheru the informed” because of his amazing depth of knowledge in all topics concerning colonialism and global injustice. Esheru is an activist and a friend, and I thank him dearly for his time.

This episode begins the multi-part journey that is the story of post-war Burkina Faso. It is so full of characters, twisting plots, love and deceit, violence and intrigue, it would have been a bestseller, had it ever been reported properly. Always remember the name Thomas Sankara!
That is the way unfortunately. Once-colonial powers will cling on any way they can and on this occasion, the clinging-on is achieved through disinformation tactics.
Burkina Faso is a remarkable country, like so many other African nations, which if left to themselves can prosper in ways nobody thought possible. The world is at a crossroads and we need to make the right choices. We need to become active to guarantee that the indigenous rights of nations are upheld. We need to start today for we should have started years ago.
Thank you Esheru once again for your time.

We don’t always seek alternative perspectives to our own when we are engaged in heated debate. We don’t reflect how our words may strike others. We don’t always focus on what is happening around us when we have something to say ourselves.
With Lulu we discuss on the topic of feminism and how through incorporating feminist ideals into how we live, we can achieve elevated levels of understanding and cooperation for everyone, regardless of gender.
Communication remains a significant stumbling block in many situations, at home, at work, in international politics. We are constantly told to accept what we are told and not to question the efficacy of that limitation, let alone the veracity of the information we have been given.
As an exercise, let us try occasionally to listen more than we speak, question what we do not feel to be true, and express what we know in our hearts needs to be said. Today is not a day to remain silent. If we are to achieve gender equality, and if we are to extend that sense of justice to encompass other areas of life, we need to make a concerted effort to introduce these principles every day, everywhere.

In this episode I am joined once again by Esheru to continue our journey through the continent of Africa and to combine our thoughts on the political, social and economic factors that plague and influence the fortunes of the nation.
In this episode we look at the Democratic Republic of Congo and glance occasionally across its borders and sometimes further afield when attempting to gage how far the grating winds of enforced change have travelled and why.
Thank you very much Esheru for your time and thoughts.

Activism knows many faces. As does racism, prejudice and discrimination. We live in societies where colour is political, social and economic. It is family and it is enmity. It is a call to arms. It is a fight for justice. It is a struggle against oppression. It has long since been the latter.
In this new series, I am joined by the activist who inspired it. Esheru is an activist who is indefatigable in his determination to represent the cultures of African origin. This series will try to introduce people not only to the struggle that African nations and peoples have faced for centuries, but also to what could have been and what could be, if pro-African policies are truly applied.
Thank you Esheru for your time, wisdom and patience.

Randall Jarrell was a poet who died far too young at the age of 51. There are far too many who have died at the tender age of far-too-young. Today that list grows and grows anew.
This poem, entitled The Refugees and published in 1942 resonates loudly in the world that we have created or that we have allowed to be created in our name. We have not become a society overtaken by spreading apathy, we have allowed it to become the norm because to do otherwise was inconvenient. Yet I minded of the threats we have welcomed into our societies and communities. The hatred that engulfs our social dialogue is creating immeasurable inconveniences which will soon come knocking. By then our democratic laxness will receive the judgement it deserves.
Randall Jarrell wrote often of war, of society and of that most intense quality, the human condition in relation to others. Over the next few weeks, I will narrate more of his work so that people can once again become familiar with him. Jarrell is one of those poets who should never be overlooked, lest he one day be forgotten. Such art should never be allowed to fall upon the ignominy of the dusty shelf.

In continuing the “Why the Right dislikes…” series, I take a look at a few topics in one go. The main emphasis is on the xenophobic slant of most right-wing rhetoric these days, but there is also a fair chuck of attention paid to where that xenophobia comes from, why, and what the purpose is. I don’t believe my thoughts here can be applied to every right-wing extremist; I doubt that such a generally applied rule exists. However, I do believe that a good portion of dissatisfied, underrepresented and mistreated white British people have been made to turn down this path as their only means of getting attention.
The reality is that a small minority of racists exist in the UK and other countries too, that are loud, hate-filled and are working on an agenda set by powerful establishment figures to their own detriment. Yet their satisfaction is found in the feeling of power that their hatred gives them. These cowards, the ones that attack peaceful, law-abiding citizens in mobs and armed gangs are the real threats to society, the real criminals, and should be treated as such.
Hate-policies have no place in decent society.
A message of peace and a call for unity from TwoandaMic.
I will look at some of the statements making the rounds in the mainstream from right wing commentators and attempt to give what I feel is a more accurate perspective.

The genocide that Azerbaijan committed against the Armenians of Artsakh is not a question of debate. Armenians lived in their ancestral homes of thousands of years until one day they did not. They were not politely asked to leave, they did not sell their homes, they did not leave because they wanted a change. They were attacked by an aggressive dictatorship and forced to leave or die after a 9-month blockade. They received no help from the UN and no support from the EU. Why would they when the EU and many powerful UN nations line up with palms facing the sun for Azerbaijan’s black gold to pour between their greedy fingers. Human dignity has little value. Oil is everything. That is the price of democracy.
In this very brief initial conversation with Vartoui from Marseilles, we talk about the UN and COP29 and Vartoui speaks a little about Marseilles and the Armenian community there.
Thank you Vartoui for your time.

I love reading some of these classic short stories. They serve as a record of human lives through the ages and from different perspectives. In the 1830s the sale of opium was rising rapidly under the Qing dynasty, Australia’s creation is decided and Melbourne is founded, Charles Masson conducts his excavation work around Kabul Jalalabad where he notes that Kabul in 1833 is a model of tolerance. In New England Hawthorne penned The Ambitious Guest.
In this short story Nathaniel Hawthorne tells a well-known story of those parts in the Willey tragedy in New Hampshire. On August 28, 1826 an entire family was killed while fleeing to safety. The home from which the fled remained undamaged.
Commentary on the story has suggested that the real protagonist is nature itself (Christopher Johnson) and “The Ambitious Guest” is really Hawthorn expressing his own desire to become someone famous, at the beginning of his career (Brenda Wineapple, Hawthorne’s biographer).
It is a wonderful tale despite the tragedy that follows. There is so much hope and happiness in the home, and then…

In this 200th episode I am joined by my kids to talk about their lives and interests, where they are, and what they think about topics such as education, football (Mo Salah), games consoles (Xbox and Playstation) and the planet.
More importantly, I am just happy to record a snippet of our interactions so that I can revisit these days in the long distant future.
Thank you boys. I love you!

This is an introduction into a long running story that some people in the west may have heard of in the periphery of their political consumption. Armenia and Azerbaijan have since the fall of the USSR been at loggerheads over Artsakh or Nagorno-Kharapagh. In the aftermath of the fall of the USSR, the populus of Artsakh implemented their right to self-determination, voted of their own accord to become a free and sovereign state and became a Republic with their own elections and rule of law. It was a poor nation but a nation created by a democratic instrument and maintained by similar principles.
In recent times Azerbaijan, with its superior wealth and support from a glut of foreign powers salivating over Azeri oil, undertook a brutal advance to wipe out the Armenian population of Artsakh. With drones and advanced weaponry, brutality and no mercy they wiped out entire villages and forced those that survived to leave their ancestral homes. This sounds unfortunately quite familiar in this day and age because it is happening elsewhere in the world too.
Hostages have also been taken. In response to this barbaric act of genocide Azerbaijan has been rewarded by hosting COP29. Not only is Azerbaijan one of the world’s worst human rights violators, it has committed genocide against a sovereign state which it has since wiped off the face of the earth, it has zero respect for climate crisis plans and it is the host of COP29.
This is how the modern world behaves.

Ever since the first cavewoman kicked the first caveman’s ass at monopoly, there has been discrimination, and the patriarchy was established.
The series is entitled Why the Right Dislikes…In future episodes I will look more specifically into various related topics and voice a few thoughts with diferent perspectives.
This first episode is about why the Right dislikes...Diversity. These are but a few thoughts put together with the sole intention of proposing a different perspective. We don’t always share the same views because we always look at the developing threat from a different position.
The intention of this episode is to show that diversity is not the threat some people think it is.

In this next episode of the Book Club with Greg, we take a lingering glance at Dissolution, the first Shardlake novel from author C J Sansom. This is Greg’s recommendation and in true delight we attack it with gusto.
To set the scene, it is England in the reign of Henry VIII. Anne Boleyn has just been beheaded and Henry has taken the bold step of separating England from Rome. He also needs case and the Catholic monasteries are rolling in gold. Dissolution deals with how Thomas Cromwell takes down the first of the monasteries in his great purge.
Thank you, Greg, for your time.

Ever wonder why scientists don’t always know how best to communicate with the general public? Among the many interesting topics we discuss in this episode, is an enthralling insight into the mental process of presenting an idea, from the scientific community’s perspective, and it makes a lot of sense…naturally.
One of the many benefits for me in doing these podcasts is to temporarily transport into the minds of my guests, to see through their eyes, listening to their words and giving them the freedom to elaborate on their thoughts however they feel best. In this podcast, I am able to share that fascinating journey because of the complete openness with which Hannah speaks. Her answers are analytical and deep. She does not run away from the challenge of presenting complexity to a lay person and the message is all the better as a result.
We use Cixin Liu’s 3 Body Problem as a backdrop to discussing one of Hannah’s essays about the Fermi Paradox, game theory, and some chap’s theory of evolution.
Hannah is a biologist and neurotech venture capitalist, and an artist too.
Thank you, Hannah, for your time.

In this third and final part of this mini-series with Kenyan artist Omish Njash we begin with me putting to Omish the welcome activism GenZ have picked up and carried forward and how the government has tried to disrupt them. I mention unity as a key principle behind this movement, and here Omish begins the landslide of his thoughts. I could have added all of his text here as quotations but instead I will leave simply a few notable ones for you:
“The greatest gift the younger generation has given this country is they have shaken us out of an apathy.”
“It was a revolution, but it wasn’t a evolution that liberates all the people who deserve liberating.”
“There were aspects of our togetherness that were not there. “
Thank you so much Omish Njash for your time and wisdom. I ask all of those who can, to buy this Kenyan artist a coffee or two. He and his friends, and the millions like him around the world, need our support.
Thank you Omish for your time.
Enjoy!

Omish Njash explains this sentiment during the podcast: there is difference between art and content. There is a realisation that there is a need for the creation of a new currency that is neither art, nor wisdom, or even sensible, to even be content. They jump on the moment to create content, which has a shorter life span and less meaningful value.
“An artist is faced with their own honesty or dishonesty, at a moment that has become political.”
“We take democracy seriously.” I am not sure many politicians want to hear this, even some of those who welcome criticism. Democrats (I am referring to any democracy advocating politicians, anywhere) want to believe in democracy if it brings them to power. They will believe in it again when the election cycle comes around again. What they do in between is anyone’s guess.
Tell us it isn’t true, tell us we still have a country…powerfully meaningful words. These are the sentiments that describe how I feel often when thinking about politics in the UK and EU. Tell us we still have a country. Tell us the country we live in which claims to uphold democratic values, really means it. That this is not just a slogan for domestic use. That these are views that travel with meaning…
There are so many powerful sentiments in this short episode I could include the entire transcript. Instead, I urge you to listen.
During this episode I play a short excerpt from a demo version of the song Ochongorio by Omish Njash and produced by Lescoin.
Thank you, Omish, for your time.

It is not often that I can speak with someone in the middle of a historical event. For a start they are usually far more concerned with the maelstrom going on around them to take time out to talk about things. Yet Omish is reflective, perhaps because he is an artist, maybe because he is a philosopher, and in part because as an activist, he is aware of the need to spread the word, lest someone else spread lies instead.
Omish has also shared with us some of his art and I am extremely grateful to him for doing so.
Thank you, Omish, for your time, and good luck in your activism.

This is an episode about a Russian student, interested in art, rebellious in nature, who moves to Berlin and realises she has room to extend her arms and take in a deep breath, and continues her passion as she knows best.
It could easily have been a podcast about a librarian creating a podcast about librarians (there is also famously another librarian making positive waves in the US).
This podcast could also easily have been about learning to embrace your own culture even when the political tides push you away from the shores of home.
We touch on all of these in parts, and stay focused on the source of all, Lulu, a humble, creative and open woman looking to share the fantastic impressions of art as she sees it, with the world.
Enjoy.
