Plus: Bad Bunny speaking out against queer baiting accusations, Chioma Nnadi as the first black woman to lead British Vogue, Brian Eno calling out James Blake for using the asshole chord, and a new Spotify feature that sounds a lot like payola. The Week is a production by Telekom Electronic Beats and ACB Stories.Host: OttO Kent Writers for this episode: Aaron Gonsher, Carlos Steurer and Jacob SperberEdit and sound design: Marc ÜbelLead Producer: Isabel WoopFollow OttO Kent. Follow Rachel Grace Almeida. Listen to Rachel Grace Almeida’s radio show on NTS. Watch “Talking Robots Into Heaven – a conversation between James Blake and Brian Eno”. Watch the documentary “Future Sound Of Mzansi” (Part 1, 2, and 3). Watch “The Scare Tactics of Spoek Mathambo: at TEDxSoweto 2011.
