Music
This week we talk about a whole bunch of stuff that has been happening lately with each of the 1D boys: -Harry Styles collaborated with Calm, the meditation app, and recorded a relaxing sleep story that you can now listen to! (We recorded before it was released so we will let you know our thoughts on the story next week.) -You can now recreate the patchwork sweater Harry wore for his Today Show soundcheck right at home! The designer, JW Anderson has released a PDF with in-depth instructions on how to make your own. Send us pictures if you do! -Niall Horan is featured on Ashe's new song, Moral of the Story. We talk about its popularity on TikTok and the lyrics that Niall helped rewrite for the remixed version of the song. -It is Talk Direction's 5 year anniversary! We reflect on the past 5 years: the friendships we have made, how we have grown, and our favorite memories. We also discuss the future of Talk Direction and predict what we will be doing 5 years from now. -For our BLM segment we talk about he inspiring Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She was a queer, black woman who is considered the "godmother" of rock music!

This week we talk about Harry Styles and Ben Winston shopping in London (maybe for 1D reunion?), Watermelon Sugar soaring up the pop radio charts, and #LetTheMusicPlay, a petition to get the UK government to financially support the music industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. We reflect on why we both LOVE live music so much!
