In Society: (5:55) The Kenyan youth are making a racket after their government introduce a IMF-backed Finance Bill and like most 21st Century protests, digital activism is the key. (Article By Job Mwaura)

In Life: (16:11) The term Neo-Feudalism sounds like something that George Orwell would've had in one of his books but la di da, it's a real life possibility. (Article By Joel Kotkin)

In Arts: (32:14) Satirical writer Marina Hyde got on her Podcast "The Rest Is Entertainment" and talked about a specific example of a progressive entity doing what they do: raising a voice about bad corporations. So what's the argument here? (Article By Russell Warfield)
