  • Episode 71: Reading The Stranger: Albert Camus, Absurdism & the Outsider
    In this episode, we discuss Albert Camus’ The Stranger — a novel that raises uncomfortable questions about morality, meaning, society, and what it means to be an outsider.
    We share our thoughts on Meursault, his choices and worldview, and the ways Camus challenges us to question how we understand emotions, social expectations, and the search for meaning in an indifferent world.

  • Episode 70: Jamaica Kincaid, Lindsay Clancy Case, Mental Health & Motherhood
    In this episode, we jump between a few very different — but surprisingly connected — topics.
    Amongst those topics, we discuss Jamaica Kincaid’s Putting Myself Together Again and the deeply disturbing Lindsay Clancy case, exploring some of the difficult questions it raises around motherhood, mental health, relationships, and society.
    As always, the conversation isn't necessarily about having all the answers. It's about exploring our perspectives and the complicated ways humans make sense of love, relationships, identity, and difficult realities.
    ⚠️ Content note: This episode includes discussion of the Lindsay Clancy case, the deaths of children, mental health, and other potentially distressing topics. Listener discretion is advised.

  • Episode 69: After the Storm: Resilience, Reality & Rebuilding Jamaica
    In this deeply personal and reflective episode, we unpack the emotional, psychological, and political impact of the recent hurricane that struck Jamaica.
    Our guests share their own experiences — from worrying about family to grappling with helplessness — while exploring broader themes like the role of media, the gap between tourists and locals, and the geopolitical forces shaping disaster response.
    This conversation is both a critique and a celebration: of resilience, of community, and of the Jamaican spirit that refuses to be broken. 🇯🇲🖤💛💚
    We also discuss the need for stronger infrastructure, community support, youth engagement, and personal responsibility in creating a more self-sufficient future.
    “Out of adversity comes unity.”
