Episode 3: Speak of the Devil! Feat. Mat Hick
Episode 3
Saturday, 10 April, 2021
Rather than covering three main news items as we would normally, we decided to dedicate this episode to discussing Lil Nas X's new release 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name)' and its accompanying video, which has caused quite a stir online. Don't panic though! We still found time to chat a little about dancing grandpas and the power of flight in our Nice News and Zoomer of the Week segments. Please note the following content warnings for this episode: homophobia, racism, xenophobia and use of strong language. As usual, you can find the sources we spoke about on our resources page, which you can access via www.linktr.ee/takezedpod. As we discussed, we wanted to platform the following organisations supporting Black queer people: Black Trans Foundation - @blacktransfoundation on Insta Exist Loudly - @existloudly on Insta and @ExistLoudlyUK on Twitter African Rainbow Family - africanrainbowfamily.org; @AfricanRainbow1 on Twitter, @africanrainbowfamily on Insta If you were affected by any of the issues we spoke about today, please feel free to reach out to the following: Switchboard LGBT+ helpline (UK only): 0300 330 0630 Asylum Help UK: 0808 801 0503 Mental health resources for people of colour: baatn.org.uk For urgent help, NHS: 111 International resources: checkpointorg.com/global/ We'd love to keep chatting to you about what we've discussed today - follow us on our socials: @takezedpod on Twitter and Insta, @elliecheevers on Insta, and @jessslsmith on Twitter and Insta.
