In general chat, we recommend books and films and discuss what we've been up to. We debate on whether automation should become a part of our daily lives and what downsides and benefits this could have on society. Clemmy reads her short story The Waiting Room as well as another extract from a work in progress in our literature section. And we talk to two passionate listeners in our interactive section!  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aga-and-clemmy/message

Welcome to the new podcast: Culture Strike!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited to be back, and stronger, with our new podcast. This week, in general chat we discuss books, meals and how to keep good mental health, and in our debate we discuss "pupils should study classical literature instead of modern literature."  DISCLAIMER: In our debates, we take opposing points of view to demonstrate the different ideas that can be taken on about the motion. This MAY NOT BE WHAT WE ACTUALLY THINK. In our literature section, its Agatha's turn as she reads out a story she's working on about the lives of three interconnected young friends, going through difficult times, threaded together through their families and incredibly different situations. If you would like more information about the novel or would like to ask Agatha about anything to do with the story, please email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to answer anything.  And finally, in our interactive section we give you an opportunity to discuss what poetry means to you in a new competition that you can enter.
