In this episode Maya, Veerle, David and Malene will go a step further than talking about and appreciating the arts. We ask the question: Can we separate the art from the artist?  With the #metoo movement, thousands of women in the movie and music industries have come forward and told stories of sexual assault, often committed by well-known directors, producers, actors and musicians. It then raises the question: Can we still appreciate the art created by people convicted of sexual assault?  Moreover, in this episode we discuss whether we can appreciate art that is culturally appropriated. Where do we draw the line between cultural appreciation and appropriation? With cases on Selena Gomez and Rihanna.

"In the first episode Re:Voyager is not only travelling through space, but also through time. We discover all kinds of music as we are returning to the 70s. Even though the music of today is vastly different, it seems that many artists still take a lot of inspiration from this decade often by sampling 70s songs.  In this episode, David, Malene and Veerle have a fun talk about their love for 70s music, the wide array of music genres that emerged during this decade and they have a little discussion about why we continue to sample music.
