MK327: Breaking News! (Passing, Recognizing Native American/Indigenous Heritage Month, AstroWorld, #FreedBritney, Astroworld)

Episode notes

Lauren Carter is here with Breaking News from Twitter… about Adele. Britney is free (#FreedBritney) and we couldn’t be happier but Jessica Simpson might need to read the room, with her announcement of her also being free. Drake and Travis Scott owe us answers as we discuss the tragedy that happened at Astroworld. Then we discuss Passing starring Tessa Thomosn and Ruth Negga an important movie that needs its roses! It’s Christmas, which means Mariah Carey is resurrected this time of year and our Queen of Christmas has a new partnership we didn’t know we needed.  And then in the main korner with Thanksgiving here, which is often an uncomfortable time knowing the genocide of Indegenous folks, James attended a Native American/Indegenous Heritage talk and is downloading the insights to you, with ideas of how to appropriately partake in the holiday while giving true thanks, and respect to who’s land this truly is.
