The Tragedy of Kanye West
Is Kanye West wanting his divorce to entertain you? We speak to Atlantic Journalist, Spenser Kornhaber who has been following Kanye’s career and rise to fame for over 20 years. Kanye separated from Kim Kardashian in early 2021. Kardashian began dating SNL star Pete Davidson, 28, in the final months of 2021, prompting Kanye to share posts encouraging his followers to publicly harass Pete. Is it the spillover from Kardashian’s own brand of fame, which turns living rooms into TV-show sets? The difficulty of knowing how to deal with mental-health crises, which West has experienced in public previously? Or just voyeurism—the fun of watching the Kanye show?

What Russians are being told about the war in Ukraine
Daria Sukharchuk is a freelance Russian journalist living in Berlin. She’s been following the unfolding situation in Ukraine closely. Russians are hearing a very different story to the one we’re getting about the war in Ukraine. As Russia bombed a maternity hospital in the southern city of Mariupol last week Russians were being told the building was abandoned and had been taken over by neo-Nazis. So if the story is so different, how do Russians know what they’re actually supporting, or opposing?

Calling shotgun with George Ezra
George Ezra is an English guitarist, singer, songwriter and also one of the nicest guys in the biz. His smash hit ‘Shotgun’ is, incidentally, about time he spent in Australia - he sings about being south of the equator, being at the beach, drinking larger and life in ‘the yellow and green’. But it’s not his only song about another country. His travels make up a huge part of his music. So what happens when your art is inspired by the world around you and that world suddenly becomes very small. So small, in fact, it’s pretty much the size of your UK flat and nothing else. Where does the magic come from? In this conversation, Jamila and George go deep on his new music, staying inspired and his upcoming performance at the Queen’s Jubilee.

More stories from the Northern Rivers flood fightback
We go back to our amazing story of Australians rallying together …when the authorities don’t offer the support they should….and the struggle for residents of the north east of NSW devastated by floods. Jack Bailey, a northern rivers local has been hiking in to some of the communities that have been cut off since last Monday; Sophie Marsh has also been volunteering in the clean-up and says it’s heartening to see so many locals pitching in to help; and Harry Dudley who’s been helping his neighbours around the Mullumbimby, South Golden, New Brighton areas. This is an incredibly inspiring story. While NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has conceded rescue efforts should have been more readily available….the locals are rolling up their sleeves to lend a hand.
