In this week's episode we celebrate International Women's Day with some calypso classics by women and about women as we recount a weekend filled with music.
We get into the new drive to increase sustainability in business when in fact this is not at all new to us in Trinidad & Tobago as we have some of the most sustainable practices in all the world. 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. Happy Women's Day to. all the CSP ladies.
Enjoy!!

We get back into the swing of things this week!
As T&Tec spends time saving cats from trees we ended up without electricity which lead to a chance meeting with an electrician who turned out to have written one of my favourite songs of all time.
Fire Services may have been able to help if only their million dollar ladders were working but we're here to save the day with some of the best calypsos about cats in honour of Prince the Cat.
We get into the salaries of the parliamentarians and discuss why they should be raised even higher. Seems strange against the backdrop of higher youth unemployment rates but we'll get into why one might be the cause of the other.
Of course Michael Mondezie always gives us something to celebrate as we congratulate Leon 'Smooth' Edwards on becoming the arranger with the most Panorama wins.

In this week's episode we recap Calypso Fiesta and wins and losses of the weekend  as we're forced to eat back a lot of our words from last week.
We get into Gypsy, the chairman of the NCC entering and winning competitions sanctioned and run by the NCCC but not seeing it as a conflict of interest.
The elitism associated with carnival has reached our shores and some words from the great Wendell Manwarren fall in we garden.
Some of the most popular songs this year are taking a lil borrow from songs of yesteryear and we take a listen to compare the old with the new.
Tune in & Enjoy!!

We're joined by friend of the show and Brooklyn Caribbean Literary Festival (BCLF) founder Marsha Messiah as we kick back and talk to Keegan Taylor, a Bois Man both in academia and in the gayelle, song writer, movie producer and business man among many other hats. 
We discuss two of his biggest writing successes, Machel and Benji's Buss Head and Desert 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.
Enjoy!!!

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 we cover the epicness that was Rise & Roast and look 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.
Enjoy!!!

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.
Enjoy!!!
