It's been another hectic week in transatlantic news.

On 16 April there were bombings of the Boston marathon causing the tragic fatalities of 3 people including an 8 year old boy and injuring over 140 others (CNN)

On 17 April Lady Margaret Thatcher is laid to rest in London - amid continuing debate over her controversial legacy.

In other news: Jay-Z 'pens' and Open Letter on 11 April, addressing his recent 5 year wedding anniversary trip to Cuba with wife Beyonce, that stirred up so much comment.

And of course Tesco - the UK supermarket Goliath, tucks it's tail and runs out of the USA.

In the Yinka and the ID tradition the music is cross-genre - check out the storming Ike and Tina version of the Stones classic Under My Thumb.

I tackle these topics in my own (un)usual way. This is a must hear edition - you may agree or vehemently disagree with any or all things i say - please leave a comment and weigh in- and if you enjoy the show please share and spread the word.
