This week on America's Podcast, we're turning up the volume and cranking the stereo to eleven with our special guest, the one and only Eric Lussier! He's here to dissect the new House of Lords album “Full Tilt Overdrive.” Is it a banger that will make you want to do the cha-cha or a fizzler that leaves you feeling as flat as a soda left open at a family reunion? No spoilers, but let's just say we've got more suspense than a cat watching a laser pointer! In our Tracks of the Week, we've got a lineup that's tastier than a five-course meal at a fancy restaurant! Marc is digging into “Kitty” by The Presidents of The United States, which we can only hope has nothing to do with actual cats in suits. Mooger is vibing to “Ghost” by D.A.D., reminding us all that sometimes you need a little spooky in your rock repertoire. Eric's choice, “Ignite The Fire” by Becoming Wolves, might just have you wondering if you're more wolf or more sheep when you hear it. And we wrap it all up with Jerry's pick, “Grove Street” by Florence Black, which we can only assume is about a really cool neighborhood or alternatively, an epic debate club. So until next week, folks, let's play some pinball, crank up that rock music, and have a cocktail—or three! Who knows, maybe the combination will lead to a harmonious musical experience or at least some really funny dance moves! Cheers!

"As I grew up, I realised I had to look after myself because no one else was going to do it for me."Baroness Lola Young of Hornsey joined the House of Lords in 2004, becoming one of its first Black female members. But from the age of eight weeks old to eighteen years old, she moved between foster care placements and care homes in north London. In this episode, she tells James about her upbringing and her recent journey to discover more about her childhood. Eight Weeks: Looking Back, Moving Forwards, Defying the Odds by Lola Young is out now.

Is your measure of success focused purely on your own achievements? Maybe you're at a time in your life when you're questioning legacy, purpose, and who you are beneath your job title. Maybe you're thinking about what it means to contribute and to matter in society. Baroness Lola Young was one of the first black women members of the House of Lords. She's been an actress, an academic, and a cross-bench peer. She's also an active campaigner against modern slavery and unethical fashion. Her new book, Eight Weeks, an account of being raised in foster care and children's homes between the ages of eight weeks and 18 years. In this conversation I talk to Lola about the influence of her challenging past on her identity and choice of career. We probe into what it means to matter – I'm curious if mattering might be an antidote to the hyper-individualization, loneliness and disconnection so many people are feeling. What could “mattering” look like in your own life? Could being of service (more intentionally) help you to feel enough? Let's find out. 00:00 Intro 4:47 Who is Lola Young? 6:08 Lola's thoughts on identity – being black, female and “in care.” 7:45 Jerry Colonna's big question, “To whom do I belong?” 8:21 How Lola's early experiences shaped her identify and feelings of enoughness. 14:46 Description of her book, Eight Weeks: Looking Back, Moving Forwards, Defying the Odds. 18:45 The connection between enoughness and the hyper-individualistic society we live in. What is “mattering?” 20:40 Mattering and enoughness. 23:14 Her peers growing up were tuned into the public need and public service. 24:43 Did Lola's challenging upbringing influence her choice of career? 28:39 Does Lola feel enough in this season of her life? 31:31 Lola's Brick of Wisdom 32:43 Outro 34:04 Sonia Choquette is my next guest.

With the Government's controversial Rwanda Bill currently stuck between the Commons and the Lords, this timely special episode focuses on the UK's asylum policy. Nish takes up an invitation to speak about the issue at the House of Lords. The event has been organised by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Refugees, in conjunction with the makers of a new film called Io Capitano - which follows the perilous migration journey of two young boys travelling from Senegal to Europe in search of a better life. Nish joins Labour peer Lord Dubs, the co-chair of the APPG on Refugees, in his office afterwards to hear how he and his colleagues are “digging their heels in” to try and amend the Rwanda Bill. Lord Dubs tells Nish what he learnt from a recent trip to Calais to meet asylum seekers first-hand. They also discuss what a more humane asylum system might look like and whether the next Labour government can deliver it. Back in the studio, Nish and Coco discuss the extent to which arts and culture can have the power to bring about change.With special thanks to Altitude Films and Think-Film Impact Production. Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media. Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukWhatsApp: 07514 644 572 (UK) or + 44 7514 644 572Insta: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTwitter: https://twitter.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/podsavetheworld Guest:Lord Dubs, Labour peer and co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Refugees Useful link:Io Capitano trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6fLvLN2EqM

Time to get those lighters in the air, Slackers!From the late 80's into the early 90's, there was no shortage of amazing live music. The “hair” bands of the time were hitting on all cylinders, with live shows rivaling anything that came before or since.

Happy Friday the 13th! Join us as we head over to Video Shop to pick out a frightastic flick! That's right, we are going to rent some tapes and we're prepared for blood n' gore n' frights! Did you ever hear about rock bands selling their souls to the devil, and if you listen to their music or play their albums backward you will turn into a demonic zombie??? The 70s, 80s, and 90s were full of films about horrific demons and metal n' punk bands either having their songs featured in the movie or were themselves featured as the subject of the film. Grab your Reeses Pieces, large Coke, a severed limb, and hum along.What is it we do here at InObscuria?
