But there is still some news talk! Including:&amp;nbsp;  CW: This episode contains a discussion around the actions of ICE, in the USA. There's no easy way of going over this.&amp;nbsp; Closer to home, the Council of Europe has voted to ban conversion therapy, despite the best efforts of a certain anti-trans group... In fact that particular group had a double-whammy of deserved disappointment and we'll tell you all about it in Loser's Corner. Followed by a considered conversation about how, in these difficult times, are we to rest. Maybe there's ways of passing time that are in and of themselves radical. From the immortal Terry Pratchett: &quot;It's not worth doing unless someone, somewhere would much rather you weren't doing it.&quot;  References: https:\/\/whatthetrans.com\/ep148 &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"What The Trans!?","author_url":"https:\/\/whatthetrans.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/40000245\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/1d1639\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/198240765"}
