We're back this week after a needed hiatus. Very grateful for everyone who checked in and we're happy to be back.

In this week's episode we touch the greatness of Nadia Watson as a song writer composer and performer against the backdrop of Iwer George giving up on his pen that people already questioned to basically sing the national anthem as his newest release.

We get into the education system and try to see whether or not it's really serving us or is it still designed to feed the colonial masters.

In this week's episode we discuss a weekend well spent playing at a tribute for Joy Ceasar by the Southernaires Choir. Taking in amazing performances by the UWI Arts Chorale and UWI Arts Steel conducted by the likes of Jessel Murray and Peter Lockheart.

We take a look at Machel's performance at the Kennedy Centre and discuss his singing ability as we look at some of the most distinct voices in Soca. 

Of course but wouldn't be Trinidad if there wasn't some bobol and scandal but we all still managed to act shocked when we discovered corruption in Licensing Office & ANSA Bank. Maybe they could run some of that money to Tobago Carnival as they're suffering from budget cuts and the quality drop is showing.

Join me as I share my first-hand experiences at Yung Brother's 3/10 album launch. Of course, at my age, it took me forever to realise that 3/10 was his birthday and that was why I had to be out my house that hour on a Tuesday night.

As we on birthdays we celebrate the birthday of the greatest calypsonian of all time and take in some of the best listening tunes from Shadow.

Switching beats, we're getting deep into a wealth of topics like budget allocation, minimum wage increases, and wage differences. Be prepared to be surprised as we unravel the intricacies of these subjects and their real-world consequences, all while drawing from the Big Mac Index! Plus, we're shining a spotlight on patriotism among expatriates and exploring how their love for home remains despite wage gaps.

Mieledy is no longer representing us and now that we got her out of the way we're back to caring absolutely nil about the lady who is actually representing us - as if we ever cared. We wanted a local representative so bad but now that we have one nobody even  cares to learn her name.

We take the time to highlight some Trins who are doing some great work at home and abroad and send a special salute to the organisers of Japan Carnival.

Enjoy!!!

Ready for an all-access pass to the most hot-button topics in the Caribbean? This episode is a vibrant blend of sports, music, politics, and societal issues. From the exhilarating victory of the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League and the unity it brought, to the controversial selection of a Venezuelan-born contestant in the Miss Grand International pageant, we've got you covered. 

We don't shy away from tackling tough issues too - we discuss the impact of Majah Hype's domestic violence charges on the Caribbean community and the urgent need for reform. And if you're wondering about the state of crime in Trinidad, we're going there too. We shed light on how Prime Minister Dr. Rowley  and Opposition Leader Kamla Persad Bissessar are spearheading crime talks, and why it's starting to feel like a reality TV show.

And that's not all. What's the link between a massive retail conglomerate, including KFC, Pizza Hut and Subway, and a political platform? You'll be surprised at the connections we draw. 

We also dive into the beauty pageant world, looking at the xenophobia and historical influences that may have played a part in the selection of a pageant winner, and the wider implications for the Caribbean society. Stay with us, as we pull back the curtain and reveal the inner workings of the Caribbean region. This is a discussion you won't want to miss.

Walk Good Denyse!
