Can pop music ever be a political? I'm Tristan Redman and I'm Asma Khalid, and together we host the global story podcast from the BBC. One of the most successful pop stars in the world, Ed Sheeran, is facing the biggest controversy of his career because the rapper MacLamore has been dropped from tour after he made pro-Palestinian comments on stage.
Now, all of Sheeran's supporting acts have dropped out too. For more, listen to the Global Story on bbc.com or wherever you get your pods.

How are real‑life billionaire bunkers described and why are they being built?
Right now, under the aching surface of the earth. Miles deep out of sight. Billionaires are building. Luxury bunkers in Hawaii. New Zealand. Locations undisclosed. Not in a novel. Not in a film. In real life. It's called doom prepping and it's very popular among the US tech leaders. I've read reports of billionaires building underground
shelters, mansions, self-sustaining bunkers. They could live down there essentially for an unlimited amount of time, but all of that is kind of padded with luxury.
What job does Charly receive and what does it involve in the underground bunker?
Self-sufficient apocalypse proof. Reinforced. And hiring. Because when the end finally comes, someone still has to teach the children, serve the meals, fix the machinery. And it won't be the owners. A phone call? An offer? The job of a lifetime in a luxury underground paradise. All you have to do is teach the children of one of the richest men on earth. What could go wrong? Prediction models vary, but we know that sooner or later the surface will be unlovable. But contaminated air isn't the real threat.
What strange events begin to unfold once Charly starts teaching?
It's scarcity. Who's that? See What are you doing here? Turn around. How did you get in here? The deeper you go, the more secrets you discover. The way I look at it, if you're already going to hell, why not enjoy yourself? Um not sure I follow. Well so many people don't get to be here. Be alive. You can suffer but
How do the characters reveal the hidden secrets and threats underground?
Why be haunted? The past has been buried too, and all of our ghosts are waiting for us underground. You didn't know about the ghost? It's true, basically. Listen to Underground, an audio drama from BBC Radio 4 on BBC Sounds.
