In Politics: (12:42) Blue Wave, Bluenami, Bluekakke! Whatever you call it, Democrats were handed a mandate from the American people. But there's a strong possibility that they'll once again bottle it...

Lastly, in Environment: (55:50) You've all seen plastic bottles on the floor wherever you go. But have you ever thought that the corporations that make the bottle should pick up the bill? Well, a legal doctrine might bring us to that reality.

Another interview for you to step to! For this one, I head to a studio in North London to talk to a South African Folk/Soul artist whose new opus "Ipasi" is furthering the reach of a burgeoning subgenre in the overall South African music diaspora. We talk his beginnings, his deep love for the historically clashing sounds of Gospel & Hip-Hop; his adoration for writing, his multi-lingual application of lyrics, his latest works and of course, his Top 5.
