Leading Britain's Conversation.

You're listening to our podcast of Steve Allen.

Morning everybody.

Welcome along to your free podcast for today.

Friday, the 19th of November.

As it gets colder.

But actually, I didn't think this morning was too cold.

But apparently over the weekend it will drop like half.

But anyway, we've got the weekend to look forward to to I've got a lunch to look forward to today and then going to a party later on with

one of our fellow presenters in this building and they're having some sort of drinks do so I've been

invited I don't know why it's very odd but I'm quite looking forward to it actually.

If I make it that far, because you know generally on a Friday, I mean, I'm having lunch at 2.30.

And so you can guarantee by 4 o'clock I'll be asleep or comatose.

There's not much difference between the two.

Anyway, it's nice to have you company, and here we go. This is the one that's going to take you into the weekend. Madonna, pictured swigging gin during a workout at a home gin. And she's had her hair braided. Now, there's a name for this, isn't though. I can't remember what it is. Cultural appropriation. And I remember seeing a YouTube video years ago of some bloke on the underground,

I think he was a busker or something, being confronted by this woman saying,

you're not supposed to have dreadlocks and all the rest of it.

And Adele got told off, Madonna's doing exactly the same.

Exactly the same.

Mind you, whether they're real or not, it's still cultural appropriation.

It doesn't make any difference, actually.
