Boys to Men? Are we infantilising our youth? The Black Spy Podcast, Season 19, Episode 0009 Have you ever wondered what your children think.

Could Gaza become the USA's 51st State?
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 18, Episode 0010
In this week's Black Spy Podcast we attempt to answer the question on most people's lips who have an interest in geo-politics - could Gaza really become the US's 51st State:
President Trump's proposal for the U.S. to "take over" Gaza and transform it into the "Riviera of the Middle East" has sparked widespread controversy and criticism. The plan involves relocating nearly 2 million Palestinians from Gaza to other countries, with the U.S. assuming ownership and redeveloping the territory into a luxury destination. While Trump claims this would bring peace and economic prosperity, the proposal has been condemned as a violation of international law, akin to ethnic cleansing, and a threat to regional stability . Arab states, including Egypt and Jordan, have rejected the idea, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution and the protection of Palestinian rights . Critics argue the plan is impractical, risks radicalizing Palestinians, and could destabilize neighboring countries . Despite Trump's assertion that "everybody loves" the idea, the global backlash suggests it is unlikely to gain traction and may further complicate Middle East peace efforts.
Once again this week's Black Spy podcast has attempted to today’s burning questions, from which we might all learn.
