THE PODCAST FOR
BLACK LONDON!
The Culture London is a podcast featuring hosts El Cooke
and No Name as they discuss the issues affecting ethnic
minorities in London, from knife crime, black businesses,
black validation, unemployment and plenty more.
Co-founder of The Culture Podcast El
Cooke describes himself as a "...black man
in my 40's from Britain with something to
say!"
Whereas No Name is as mysterious as his
name, "The point is, I have a point of view
that I'd like to share with you! My name? It
doesn't matter, only what I say and how I
say it".
Overall, the goal of the podcast is to
educate people with the duo's views on all
things London.
In one of their discussions the pair explore
validation and how it works in the black
community. They encourage people to
not seek validation of any kind. Instead
they argue that the work that we produce
should be about what message we want
to send to the world, not about getting a
prize. As it is that 'message' that will bring
about the change we want to see in the
world.
