    Welcome to the first episode of our brand new podcast, where two thirty-something blokes from Sunderland talk about politics, culture and music from a Mackem perspective.

    What's been in our ears, in front of our eyes and grinding our gears recently:

    Matt Hancock's embarrassing performance on Good Morning Britain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liAR6-DSHRg\ The Home Office sends LGBT+ people back to Uganda for not being camp enough https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-56182769 Medicine at Midnight by The Foo Fighters https://www.foofighters.com Suddenly Remixes by Caribou https://caribouband.bandcamp.com/album/suddenly-remixes-ep Binging Taskmaster on All 4 in lockdown https://www.channel4.com/programmes/taskmaster The origin of the word Mackem https://wp.sunderland.ac.uk/seagullcity/mackem/ 

    Thanks for listening, and we hope that you enjoy the pod. It will evolve over the weeks and months, but when we're as big as Peter Crouch and Richard Herring you'll be able to say you were there at the very start!!!
