A Functioning State? Never Seen One of Those feat. Sanjana Varghese

Look, lots of things have happened that have made the content of this week's episode a bit out of date. This week's episode features Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice catching up on the Cummings scandal, the abomination of a tech house DJ collective made up of bankers, and a bit more. However, we also have an extended interview with freelance journalist Sanjana Varghese (@sanjanamv) on the topic of the socialist Indian state of Kerala and its success with controlling covid-19. We hope you enjoy.

Sanjana's work can all be found here: https://sanjanavarghese.com

We also want to pass along a link from ActBlue that lets you donate to a bunch of bail funds, Black Lives Matter local organizations, LGBTQ+ care organisations, trans rights organisations, and many more. These are all based in the US and are helping to relieve the financial burden place by America's terrible legal system on protesters and vulnerable people. Get it here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd

Also, please help us save Nour Cash and Carry from the band Housekeeping. Yes, literally the horrible pricks we mentioned in this episode are trying to gentrify Brixton Market. There's a petition here: https://www.change.org/p/lambeth-council-save-nour-cash-carry-brixton
