In this week’s episode we cover Machel Montano’s weekend at the Apollo and his push to keep Calypso at the forefront even though his thesis is submitted and he now holds the keys to New York City.Several soca stars received awards and recognition at the Caribbean Music Awards including Patrice Roberts, Nailah and The Mighty Sparrow as he received a lifetime achievement award presented by Machel.Much ado is being made about third parties and political alliances as Gary Griffith and Karen Nunez Texiera are shaking up their parties but for now everyone including Kamla Persad Bissessar are denying any alliances with the UNC - and well PNM don’t like nobody so no link ups there either.The discussion on who holds the keys to our cities rages on as the consultation on street names and statues continues and men say Columbus must stay!We take some time to pay respects to Joey “The Flagman” Richardson as we take in some songs that ushered us into Independence as we show appreciation for our nation.

Apparently the Coat of Arms debate rages on as the Tassa Association wants the real Trini instrument on the emblem instead of the imported steelpan. Brilliant!
It’s an episode of dualities as we discuss the mourning as the news of the closing of the famed Carrat Shed in Marabella spread against the backdrop of apparent celebration of the woes of Movie Towne.
It’s a mixed bag when it comes to the reactions to the passing of Lawrence Duprey, once heralded as one of the greatest businessmen in the region. We do a deep dive into his legacy and the unfair tainting of his name and the hostile takeover of his businesses masked as a financial bailout.
The music in this episode is a direct response to the divisive statement made by the Tassa Association of Trinidad & Tobago suggesting that Steelpan isn’t 100% Trinidadian.

In this week’s episode we weigh in on coat of arms changes as the Columbus’ ships make space for our national instrument. We look into what other emblems of the wicked we can remove to better represent our history from our perspective.We also explore the recent increase in police killings as we hear from a father of whose two sons were killed by police and another father who was the victim of a home invasion that lead to the killing. To top it off we look into the increase in extortion particularly int he doubles industry and hear from a family who has chosen to migrate after refusing to pay extortionists or succumb to threats. It’s a tipping point in the crime situation in our opinion as while some are choosing to flee the attitude toward police eradicating criminals before they get to the judicial system seems to be changing. You decide if that’s for the better.On a lighter note we congratulate the recent successes of the National Under 14 team and salute friend of the show Reagan Rowe, Coach Densill Theobold and his squad as they sit unbeaten in their CFU campaign. Jack Warner came out of the wilderness to dash our hopes though. He’s convinced that T&T will never qualify for another World Cup in our collective lifetimes.We also has the pleasure of facilitating a podcasting class at Starr Broadcasting over the weekend and to my surprise none of the youths in the class know who’s Brigo. Of course we fix that in this episode as all the music is from the great Samuel ‘Brigo’ Abramham.

In this week’s episode we celebrate with the pan fraternity as we recognise World Steelband Day by playing some of the greatest panorama winning songs. We explore the 80’s in particular as the golden era of pan music.Maybe we should try to get pan playing registered as an Olympic Sport as we once again walk away without any medals. Fazeer and Ato are passed while the heads of TTOC are calling for change in every area except the mirror.We also celebrate Dominic Kalipersad on receiving more well deserved awards. Are also had some critique for the World Steelband Day celebrations.On the heels of Bounty Killer collecting a National award we celebrate him by stopping him from entering the country ahead of his concert performance. Trinidad immigration remains undefeated!! All was well in the end as The Poor People Governor went on to rip Summer Stage and has joined several dancehalll artistes who have been calling for peace in T&T.

In this week’s episode we discuss our recent travels to Disney and compare some of the experiences we had there to the way we do things back home - how you think that’ll go?
The World Boss was freed on Emancipation Eve but as much as we anticipated his freedom this host has mixed feelings about the Teacher’s release.
Of course we spend some time celebrating our athletes and catching up on the Olympics and covering everything we’ve missed and look at what’s to come.
To round it off, Angostura is making a push into the Chinese markets and we take a look back at CL World brands and how big a step it was for Lawrence Duprey to take Angostura global. Can’t help but think that under his stewardship Angostura, by now, would have been a global force to reckon with. We also celebrate some of our other home grown global brands such as Chubby & Sacha Cosmetics.

In the week’s Labour Day special we take in some tunes about hard work even though we home for the holiday. We also take a moment to salute Kwesi ‘Hype Hoppa’ Hopkinson, one of the hardest working men in entertainment as he hosts the inaugural Caribbean Musicon.We salute Kamla Persad Bissessar as one of the hardest women in politics as she and the Stars won the internal election and maintain and will lead the UNC into next year’s general election.The King Sparrow has licensed his name to a rum brand, working well into his golden years.Of course, without trying to be a agonist and blighting the side, The West Indies seems to have put in the work that puts them on the winning track for the World Cup.We round off the episode with some selections from Machel Montano, the hardest working man in Soca.

We came out and shake a leg over the weekend. While others went to the Savannah to take in legends like Shabba, Maxi Priest, Barrington Levy and Anthony B, we got an up close and personal concert from Synergy Soca Star winner Valentine ‘Chynee’ McCoy. This week we’ll find out whether or not Kartel could be one of the concerts we attend in the near future. We have some suggestions for how to throw concerts for the 40+ crowd.In local news the BakingRoomTT managed to edge out the late great BakeryTreatz for the bottom spot in local pastries as their ‘baked fresh daily’ beef pies were found to be seasoned with maggots and eggs.Gary is offering his services to the PM as the number one Police Commissioner and the best ever Minister of National Security although the statistics might say different.We might want to enlist Angus Eve for the position as he has a quick draw and figured out how to run up the numbers much more effectively than Erla or Fitzy.We take in a mix of music today lead by some of the hits from Synergy Soca Star over the years.

What happens when a renowned Calypsonian sets the tone for a podcast episode filled with humor, personal stories, and pressing current events? This week, we kick off with a lively introduction from King Obstinate, which leads us into some amusing anecdotes about navigating new eating habits and the thrill of short work weeks. We then shift our focus to the vibrant streets of Trinidad, guided by popular YouTuber Chris Must, as he explores the raw realities of areas like La Horquetta and Gonzalez.

Along the way, we discuss the rising popularity of the dating and robbery app Grinder in Trinidad and its profound impact on modern relationships.

Modern dating apps like Tinder also come under the microscope, as we discuss the inherent risks and rewards of meeting strangers through these platforms. From there, our conversation gets serious, diving into the alarming violence that plagues Trinidad and Tobago, and illustrating our points with recent events in Gonzales Belmont. The narrative takes a gripping turn as we analyze the arrest of Chris Hughes, aka Chris Must, during his filming in Trinidad. We explore the potent mix of social media, the attention economy, and the real-world consequences that content creators face, emphasizing how likes, shares, and subscriptions can drive their actions.

Our discussion doesn’t stop there. We tackle the challenges faced by local content creators in gaining recognition compared to their foreign counterparts, highlighting the efforts of Michael Mondesi to bring attention to talented locals like Certified Samson and Jr Lee. We wrap up with the controversial arrest of Hughes on sedition charges, drawing parallels to crime dramas like Narcos and questioning the broader societal issue of locals feeling like foreigners in their own land. All this and more, underscored by the timeless relevance of Lord Nelson’s song “Foreigner,” making for an episode that’s as engaging as it is eye-opening.

We cover the tales of two tourist experiences as a German national walks across T&T while a British tourist suffers a shark attack in Tobago.
On the local front, Jowelle De Souza, business owner, animal lover and philantropist was the victim of a home invasion and of course the comments focused on none of these accolades or job titles or accomplishments or the fact that a home invasion was what the story was about, and narrowed the issue down to gender identity.
Young Markos is back in the news as he is being taken to court over an alleged $500k investment gone sour.
We also have an action packed weekend ahead as we look forward to Legends such as Lately, Yorke, Stern John and Leonson Lewis in the stadium against lesser known players such as Kaka, Rivaldo & Cafu in the Stadium.

In this week’s episode we celebrate the 102nd Birthday of The Grandmaster, Lord Kitchener.We revisit Jamaica Carnival as they’re reported to have hit their highest revenues ever but it’s less than 1/3 the revenues of the carnival it’s supposed to be taking over.While that debate rages on, some reggae legends sold out a show over the weekend while the reggae all stars reunited to put out a call for peace among the youths.No peace to be found in Massy as Mrs. Parisot-Potter’s claims have been more or less dismissed and it’s claimed that she asked for a $100m golden parachute. The TTPS is undergoing Ai training and we look into how well they’ve embraced and used technology to this point - or not.On a more serious note we discuss mental health among men as we saw a soldier allegedly attempt su***de by stepping out in front a moving bus . T&T is being reported as having a higher su***de rate among men than the global average so we have some suggestions on little things we can do to uplift our men.We salute the young legends Certified Sampson and Kyle Mark & Jr. Lee as they build their brands as social media comedians and bring some levity to the nation.Of course we threw in more than a sprinkle of the some of the sweetest songs from Lord Kitchener over the years.Enjoy!!

Party done! Back to work.

Does the name Reshmi Ramnarine ring a bell? Well we’ve been here before with the SSA and the powers that be seem to always be shocked by what’s happening at this institution.We take a minute to celebrate the legacy of the great Gervase Warner as the reports are in on the Parisot Potter raised concerns but we shouldn’t allow that to totally eclipse his contribution to the country.The RIC is recommending a whopping 130% increase in light bills by 2028 so we brace ourselves.We close off the episode by joining the great Sherwin Gardener in hitting 1 Billion streams of his hit song Find Me Here pretty much silencing the notion that Trinibad is the only route to success in entertainment.

We should offer courses. It’s the same for organic foods. Who know more bout organic food than we?The IMF says we’re good to go and headed toward sustainable growth but are we? At least Philip Alexander is sustaining his call to stay as far as possible from Gary Griffith as he puts his foot down and gives Kamla an ultimatum.We also throw in some classic calypsos with women’s names in the end.

Someone by the name of Alex Mouttet, not speaking on behalf of the family of course, came out and made some disparaging remarks about doubles vendors and roti shop owners that seems to have added fire to the calls for a PHL boycott.We take a look at some Econ and Marketing theory to explain why boycotts based on price are unlikely to work and what makes this one different.The Caribbean heads have taken a stance on violent and vulgar lyrics in the music so we revisit our position on this and try to see whether or not it’s likely to work.On a lighter note we ‘re asking for some feedback on weight loss drugs like Ozempic and surgical procedures like BBLs as they become more and more popular down here.Looking forward to your thoughts!

We discuss two of his biggest writing successes, Machel and Bunji’s Buss Head and Destra and Yung Bredda’s Rosie. Both songs are firmly rooted in the drums and chants of the stick fight arena. We also discuss the state of carnival and where it’s going. Marsha, a lover of culture and an avid mas player claims this is her last time playing mas and we get into why.

The Podcast Episode 171| "Skinner Park" is now available❗️

Pan Semis was last weekend and the fresh warders are here in there numbers. The traffic is crazy and there are no more rentals available in the country. Roadi's are selling and the beaches are full in the middle of the week. Canaval is back in full swing. In this week's episode, -babb covers the epicness that was Rise & Roast and looks forward to another weekend outside. Of course if pan semis was last week that means Calypso Fiesta is on Saturday so we take in some of the heaviest hitters in the calypso monarch semis. With mixed feelings about Double M's Semis berth we think he's about to have a hard time in the gayelle.Cro Cro might be regretting not entering the competition this year as he might just need the prize money to settle some debts. Jack Warner (remember him) is also back in the news as he's asking for a breakdown of the amount spent to extradite him and almost as soon as he made the request we heard of the passing of Ish Galbaransingh. We also take a minute to congratulate the West Indies on their test series win in The Gabba and look into a worrying story about England loaning stolen artefacts to Ghana.

Corie Sheppard-Babb We continue our fete and music reviews with our stories from Soaka Till Sunrise. Experience and CIC fete were also this weekend and Destra seemed to have an up and down weekend. In terms of songs Mical Teja's DNA has a grip on the carnival thus far with the closest song waaaay behind. Nadia Batson said she had the whole basket and it shows as she has the sweetest grooves for the carnival along with Kerwin DuBois.
In a Machel-less season the fetes are in full swing and the void isn't felt but Machel dropped a Kaiso on us as we head in to Pan Semis weekend and we couldn't close out without taking it in.
