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.

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.
Enjoy!!!

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.

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.
Enjoy!!
