My Parallax

|Episode 23| I interviewed my mam. This is probably my proudest episode. My mother spoke about her favourite moments throughout her life, her trials and tribulations, as well as her prioirities and the things she values most. She spoke about her experiences growing up with her mother who had manic depression and the culture of shame and fear around mental health. Mam highlighted her friction with the catholic church. Growing up with femenist views she clashed with the ignorance in the church. She also talked about being an introverted, slightly anxious child and the growth she has accomplished in these areas of life.

|Episode 22| In this episode I broke down some of my favourite songs of all time. I talked about the lyrical, musical and story telling aspects of these songs and why I just fucking love them. I also talked about some connections I have to these songs. Certain songs can remind of you of different times in your life and that's just one of the maddest feelings of nostalgia. These songs are just unreal man. Listen to these artists. They are some of the most talanted artists in the history of music (IMO). Links down below. I don't own the right to any of the music featured in this episode other than my background music. I'd encourage you to support these artists if you can.

|Episode 21| Wiley was recently removed from Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube for anti-semitic hate speech. This is the latest point of conflict in a long history of tension between Blacks and Jews in the music industry. Etta James, Professor Griff of Public Enemy, NWA and countless other artists have all had conflict between Jewish Business people in the music industry. Should Wiley be villified? Or should we change the environment of social media to allow people to be educated on their fallibity and to help them achieve personal growth?

|Episode 15| Wiley is the Godfather of Grime. He is the original virtuoso of Grime. Recently he has been acting out online and has sent for many artists such as Skepta, Stormzy and Dot Rotten. Some people think he has lost his mind, some think he has become encapsulated by drug abuse. I have a different theory.
