From Bob Marley to Chogyam Trungpa and Ram Dass, David and Raghu explore the many paths that lead us back to one love.This time on Mindrolling, David and Raghu discuss:David's work filming Bob Marley The attempted assassination of Bob Marley in Jamaica, 1976 David's encounter with Bob after his cancer diagnosis The profound impact of Bob Marley on David Silver's lifeThe many forms that transformation comes inAn explanation of Mahayana Buddhism How Chogyam Trungpa made complicated concepts more practicalTrungpa's teachings in Training the Mind and Cultivating Loving KindnessRam Dass's book There is No OtherCheck out the book recommended by David in this episode: A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James “Bob's friendship had metamorphosed my whole life. His magnitude as a divine messenger was enough to change me. That coupled with the most potent music I'd ever heard was enough to seep Bob's special essence into my own heart and recover me so often from despair, doubt, or depression.” –David SilverAbout David Silver:David Silver is the former co-host of the Mindrolling podcast. He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries. Be on the lookout for David's upcoming book! “The idea that we are alone and striving alone is corrosive. As soon as we can overcome that, we find an even deeper pleasure but it has nothing to do with acquisition, competition, and matters of repeated forms of hatred and animosity.” –David SilverSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Does having children determine who you should date—or is love more complicated than a checklist? This week on Oh That's Deep: Black Women Conversations, Jănine and Nicole kick things off with the joyful recap of Nicole's wedding weekend in Port Antonio, Jamaica. From unforgettable food and nonstop dancing to heartfelt vows and a beautiful new chapter, a time was definitely had! In “What's on Our Timeline?”, a viral debate sparks some real questions: Should women with children leave childless men for childless women? Jănine and Nicole unpack dating preferences, double standards, blended families, and the importance of understanding the why behind your relationship requirements. Are your boundaries protecting your peace—or closing the door on a meaningful connection? In “Letters From Our Listeners,” a divorced mother says she's open to dating fathers—but only under certain conditions. Is she being honest about what she can handle, or expecting someone else's parenting responsibilities to fit neatly into her life? The ladies weigh in on compatibility, co-parenting, and protecting the stability you've built for yourself and your child. Finally, the “Motivational Moment” invites some honest self-reflection: Having preferences doesn't make you a hypocrite, but are you willing to offer the same acceptance you're asking someone else to give you? Until we meet again… Pray. Work. Slay. And show off your melanated excellence. Find more shows like this on the Mean Ole Lion app. Follow, rate, comment, and share.

Kaffet bär på kolonialismens arv – och nu hotas produktionen av klimatförändringarna. Shora Esmailian berättar om en vardagslyx med bitter eftersmak. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Efter färden på smala serpentinvägar stannar bilen. ”Vill du komma upp i bergen måste vi gå härifrån”, informerar guiden. Jag är i de blå bergen på Jamaica – en lummig bergskedja som sträcker sig från Port Antonio i norr till Kingston i söder. Fyra sekler tidigare sökte förrymda slavar skydd här och det var i blå bergens vildmark som de fria slavarna, så kallade marooner, anlade sina samhällen. Med ledaren Queen Nanny i spetsen bjöd de under 1700-talet på motstånd mot de brittiska kolonialherrarna genom att bränna ner plantager och frita slavar.Men dessa berg är också kända för något annat: kaffet som odlas i Blue Mountain är en av världens mest exklusiva och dyraste kaffesorter. En lång och stup vandring krävs för att komma upp. Topparna och dalarna nedanför ser ut som mjuka och fluffiga kuddar av skog. Här finns varken el eller rinnande vatten och när mörkret lagt sig fylls luften av eldflugor. Morgonen därpå undrar jag om det finns kaffe – Blue Mountain-kaffet var trots allt författaren Ian Flemings favoritsort under tiden han skrev böckerna om James Bond. Guiden tittar irriterat på mig och säger strängt: ”Här dricker ingen kaffe!”.Med den kommentaren försvinner drömmen om att sitta och njuta av soluppgången och utsikten med en varm kaffekopp i handen. Vandringen ner sker med bultande huvudvärk och nog är det här, i Jamaicas blå berg, som tanken jag länge försökt tränga undan slår mig på riktigt: hur ska man leva i en framtid där den globala uppvärmningen gjort det omöjligt – både skördemässigt och ekonomiskt – att starta dagen med kaffe? Vad ska jag beställa när jag sätter mig för att fika med en vän och hur vaknar jag till liv under arbetspasset på eftermiddagen, när tröttheten smyger sig på några timmar efter lunch? Choklad och exotiska frukter kan jag leva utan, men livet ter sig inte bara fattigare, utan nästintill omöjligt, utan kaffe.Och: hur ska miljoner människor som är med och skapar kaffe överleva?Dagens Jamaica har inte särskilt stor kaffeproduktion, men under tidigt 1800-tal var man en av världens främsta exportörer. 1728, samma år som maroonerna inledde sitt första krig mot kolonisatörerna, lät Jamaicas guvernör, britten Sir Nicholas Lawes, plantera den första kaffeplantan. Öns jord och klimat visade sig vara en perfekt plats för den känsliga växten.Dessutom hade britterna genom den transatlantiska slavhandeln fyllt ön med slavar – i början av 1800-talet fanns så många som 300 000 – och under 1700-talet var den en av den brittiska kronans mest lönsamma kolonier, just på grund av socker- och kaffeplantagerna. När slaveriet avskaffades störtdök den jamaicanska kaffeproduktionen men tog fart i stor skala i andra delar av världen.Kaffeindustrin omsätter miljarder dollar årligen, men merparten av kaffet odlas och skördas av småskaliga jordbrukare och arbetare i tropiska regioner belägna längs ekvatorn, i det så kallade ”kaffebönbältet”. 125 miljoner människor är beroende av kaffe för sin försörjning men har inte råd att dricka det: alla inkomster från försäljning av kaffebönan går till nästa års grödor. Kolonialismens överföring av rikedom och resurser från det globala syd till det globala nord fortsätter i våra dagar genom just kaffet.Nu har ytterligare en faktor försvårat för kaffebönder – och alla oss kaffeberoende att ta en stunds fika: den globala uppvärmningen.I snart tjugo år har både forskare och stora kaffeproducenter som Lavazza och Starbucks varnat för att klimatkrisen kommer att påverka kaffeindustrin. Kaffeträdet, som har sitt ursprung i det etiopiska höglandet, behöver helt rätt förhållanden för att producera det bär som i sin tur innehåller frön som torkas och rostas innan de mals ner och blir den svarta dryck som så många av oss älskar.Kaffeplantan – särskilt den som producerar den populära Arabicabönan – växer bäst i temperaturer mellan 18 och 22 grader. Men temperaturerna stiger även på de breddgrader och höjder där kaffe historiskt har odlats. Bara lite mer värme eller lite mer regn kan vara förödande.Allt mer oberäkneligt och kraftigare regn leder till sjukdomar på träden och extremväder i form av förlängda torrperioder dödar kaffeplantan och urholkar jordkvalitén. Kaffebönder har under många år vittnat om minskad produktion och plantor som inte mår bra.I Sverige häver vi i genomsnitt i oss tre koppar om dagen och när kaffepriset höjs kraftigt leder det till ramaskri. 2024 sköt råvarupriset på kaffe i höjden med över 70 procent – det högsta sedan 1977 – efter att världens största kaffeproducent Brasilien drabbats av den värsta torkan i modern historia. Också Vietnam, världens näst största kaffeproducent, drabbades under samma period av för varmt och torrt väder – en verklighet som ser ut att bli det nya normala i takt med att utsläppen ökar årligen.Till och med FN:s klimatpanel IPCC har beskrivit kaffeindustrins sårbarhet och färska studier visar att de fem länder som står för 75 procent av världens kaffeproduktion – Brasilien, Vietnam, Colombia, Etiopien och Indonesien – numera har två månader per år mer med kaffeskadlig temperatur på över 30 grader än tidigare.I den etiopiska regionen Oromia har den nya verkligheten skapat en katastrofal situation för bönderna. I detta kaffets födelseplats är fler än fyra miljoner hushåll beroende av sina kaffeplantor och bidrar till en tredjedel av landets exportintäkter, men inte så länge till. Allt fler torkperioder varvat med kraftiga regn har lett till en avbefolkning av landsbygden sällan skådat i den etiopiska historien. När marken inte längre ger det den brukade ser unga etiopier ingen annan utväg än att hitta arbete långt ifrån sina byar. Sedan flera år har de migrerat, oftast till Gulfen, i hopp om att kunna försörja sina familjer. Kvar i de etiopiska byarna finns numera uttorkade fält och en åldrad befolkning.För oss relativt välbeställda kaffeälskare ter sig konsekvenserna av den globala uppvärmningen inte lika dramatiska som för kaffebönderna. Kaffepriset må stiga – till en hel krona koppen – men än så länge har jag inte lyckats avhålla mig från lyxen av mitt nypressade morgonkaffe, även om jag ofta tänker på den där morgonen i blå bergen. Men visst börjar det bli dags att hitta en annan följeslagare för njutningsfulla stunder innan klimatkrisen förvandlat kaffet till en dryck endast för världen rikaste.Shora Esmailianförfattare och kulturjournalistProducent: Ann LingebrandtMusik: Black Coffee med Sonny Criss, Walter Davis, Paul Chambers, Alan Dawson, från albumet This Is Criss, 1966.

Five-time Olympic medalist, NBC track & field analyst, entrepreneur, and author Sanya Richards-Ross sits down to talk about elite performance, mental conditioning, and redefining life after track. From moving to the U.S. from Jamaica as a kid to holding the 400m American record for 19 years, Sanya shares what it truly takes to dial in the mental side of competition, navigate crushing defeat, and step boldly into broadcasting and motherhood. IN THIS EPISODE Navigating the Chaos of Modern Motherhood: Balancing ambition, travel, and career demands while managing working-mom guilt with the support of family. Roots, Relocation, and Rising Up: Immigrating from Kingston, Jamaica, adjusting to school in Florida, and finding community on the track. The Defining Father-Daughter Talk: How a junior-year hamstring injury sparked an intentional shift toward elite-level discipline and work ethic. Why the 400m Chooses You: Breaking down the strategy, pacing, and pain cave that make the 400m arguably the toughest footrace on the oval. Reframing Heartbreak at Beijing 2008: The mental recovery required after a crushing Olympic bronze and the rally to win 4x400m gold three days later. The Psychology of Gold: Working with a sports psychologist, building vision boards, and internalizing the race-day mantra: "I refuse to lose." Manifesting the Broadcast Booth: Stepping away from competitive track due to foot injuries, declaring career ambitions out loud, and debuting live to 30 million viewers. Saying Yes When You’re Scared: Facing high-stakes moments with courage, embracing television, and launching businesses like Co-Ordinates and MommiNation. Looking Ahead to LA 2028: Highlighting the depth of Team USA talent and the next generation of track and field stars. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "In your pursuit of excellence, you never really draw a finish line. You keep on figuring out what is that next level of excellence that I can attain." "Being great wouldn't just happen because I was talented. I would have to be intentional about being great." "When you get to that level of competition—when you're at the Olympics, at the World Championships—it’s 10% physical and 90% mental. Everybody there is physically capable of winning." "Most of us are doing it scared. The biggest stars ... they're not Mr. Cool. You have nerves and anxiety because it matters to you." "Closed mouths don't get fed. You want to speak those things into life." "Failure is a necessary ingredient in the recipe for success. Embrace it and just keep going."

This episode is about psychedelics and grief, and it starts from an unusual place: not death, but everything else grief actually is. Loss of a future you thought you had. Loss of an identity, a marriage, a body that no longer works the way it used to. That's the frame Dr. Sunil Aggarwal and I set for this final Psychedelic Salon of last season, recorded live at Town Hall Seattle.Sunil isn't a hospice tourist to this topic. He's a physician at Seattle's AIMS Institute who has spent years fighting, in federal court, for his own terminally ill patients' right to try psilocybin. He was the first doctor to petition the DEA for Right to Try access on their behalf. We talk about the neurobiology of why a guided psychedelic experience can shift a story you've carried about a loss for years, a bereaved-parent retreat in Jamaica that's now the subject of a real qualitative study, and the distinction Sunil keeps returning to, containment versus integration.Containment is what most of us default to. Put the loss in a box, keep functioning, call it managed. Integration is slower, and it's the only version of the two that actually changes your relationship to what you lost. Not less pain. A different relationship to the pain.We also get into what the research does and doesn't support, from the fast-tracked synthetic psilocybin analogs now moving through the FDA to the early, mostly preclinical evidence on psilocybin and brain injury. And we close on the one resource almost nobody uses: every hospice in the country is legally required to offer 12 months of bereavement support, to anyone in the family, whether or not you were ever a patient there.Subscribe to April Pride on Substack for weekly conversations on psychedelics, nervous system health, and integration.0:00 Welcome, disclaimer, and the topic of this Salon: grief 0:45 Meet Dr. Sunil Aggarwal: hospice, palliative medicine, and medical geography 2:20 The Right to Try fight to get psilocybin to dying patients 5:00 Who controls psilocybin's Schedule I status, and why the FDA's fast-tracked analogs won't change access for most people 6:30 April's own experience with grief, and the parents who come to her after losing a child 8:30 How Sunil recognizes grief in a clinical setting, and what anticipatory grief looks like 11:30 Containment versus integration 12:20 Inside the Jamaica grief retreats for bereaved parents 17:20 The neurobiology of psilocybin, the default mode network, and reframing a loss 19:10 How to integrate a psychedelic experience afterward 22:20 The bereavement benefit almost no one uses 23:40 Key takeaways and what's ahead this seasonDr. Sunil Aggarwal is a physician at Seattle's AIMS Institute, where he leads an integrative oncology and palliative care practice and directs the clinic's psychedelic-assisted work with ketamine and psilocybin. He holds an MD and PhD from the University of Washington School of Medicine, where his doctoral work was in medical geography. Aggarwal was the first physician to petition the DEA for Right to Try access to psilocybin for terminally ill patients, litigation that produced a Ninth Circuit ruling finding the DEA had erred in denying that petition, a first for the agency. His clinical and legal work sits at the center of the current fight over who gets access to psychedelic medicine, and under what conditions, before federal rescheduling catches up.@sunil1007 @aimsinstituteseattle

Gehetzt rennen wir diese Woche der U-Bahn hinterher, um mit Christiane und Daniel die wichtigsten Filmfehler in The Runner zu finden, der zwar schlimm, aber kein Horror war, ganz entgegen Censor, der eher antischlimm, aber dafür Horror war. Christiane und Daniel, frisch aus Norwegen zurück, sind in ihrem Star-Trek-(Re)Watch bei Strange New Worlds angekommen und schauen in ihrem neuen Podcast Episode Memory chronologisch alle Akte X-Folgen, damit wir es nicht müssen. Der inoffizielle Höhepunkt der dieswöchigen Sneakpod-Folge ist sicherlich Daniels Film-Anto/Synonyme-Quiz und bevor Christoph Bordellunterschiede erklärt, begibt er sich in der Spieleecke auf eine Reise um Jamaica.

Sarah Walsh and Geoff Wotton visited a school in Westmoreland, Jamaica a year ago and were moved to raise money to send a pallet of donated musical instruments for the children. A big team helped them sort the instruments and raise funds. They had helpers for other things too, supplying footballs and IT equipment. Sarah and Geoff talk to Mike Waddington about the project and why the did it; arranging transport for the pallet to go from Petersfield to Harwich and then, after a five week journey by sea to Montego Bay, a hired van delivered the guitars, keyboards and drums to the school. Would they do it again? yes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Oh That's Deep: Black Women Conversations, Nicole is six days away from her destination wedding and preparing to transport welcome bags, programs and plenty of other wedding essentials to Jamaica. Meanwhile, Jănine has planned multiple looks for the celebration and is deciding just how much she intends to let hang out at the welcome party. The ladies talk wedding attire, body confidence, stretch marks, surgery scars and choosing whatever makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. During “What's on Our Timeline?”, Jănine shares the unbelievable story of a woman who helped her boyfriend prepare for what she believed was his best friend's wedding. After he failed to come home, a suspicious phone call and a Facebook search revealed the truth: her boyfriend had married another woman. Nicole and Jănine debate who knew what, whether the new wife was also being deceived and what should happen when a man proves that he belongs to the streets. In “Letters From Our Listeners,” a friend writes about discovering that the man she dated for nearly four years had maintained another relationship, shared a home and raised a child with someone else. She asks how manipulators become so skilled at living double lives—and how intelligent, successful women can protect themselves from people who lie without hesitation. The ladies discuss trust, overlooked red flags, gaslighting, intuition and why walking away is sometimes the only answer you need. During the “Motivational Moment,” Nicole offers this reminder: “A manipulator doesn't just steal your time; they steal your trust and your own intuition. Your healing begins the moment you believe in yourself again.” Until we meet again… Pray. Work. Slay. And show off your melanated excellence.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Metro Shrimp & Grits Thursdays is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Trump woke up to a cascade of bad news with Chinese President Xi Jinping in town.Then, on the rest of the menu, Trump is still refusing to restore press access to CNN, Politico and MS NOW, hours after being ordered by a judge to do so; an investigation is demanded over how tens of thousands of Texas voter registration applications, some dating back more than a year, were “mistakenly” not processed; and, a judge dismissed Trump's lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and its former pollster, rejecting the Mad King's claim that the newspaper's poll coverage violated Iowa's consumer fraud law.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where a former Canadian chef is set to be sentenced for selling products that facilitated hundreds of suicides worldwide; and, Jamaica celebrated that its reparations case against Britain has been referred to the final appeals court.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live PlayerKeep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“Everyone in this good city enjoys the full right to pursue their own inclinations in all reasonable and, unreasonable ways.” — The Daily Picayune, New Orleans, March 5, 1851Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.

Leadership is not a title, a throne, or a popularity contest. It is the weight of accountability when resources are limited, decisions are unpopular, and everyone looks to you for direction. In this powerful conversation, Maurice Marshall examines what it truly takes to lead when funding, staffing, equipment, and institutional support are in short supply. He reveals why leadership begins long before the appointment, how to distinguish essential priorities from good ideas, and why disciplined choices matter more than trying to please everyone. You'll discover how to:Make difficult decisions without losing trustCommunicate clearly when silence could fuel speculationStay calm and emotionally intelligent during organizational stormsBalance empathy with accountabilityAccept mistakes, model responsibility, and give credit to the teamAdapt organizations to changing technology and audience expectationsDevelop leaders who can keep the “show” going in your absenceMaurice also shares hard-earned lessons from more than three decades in ICT, radio, television, media management, and Jamaica's public service.

What happens when the things you thought would validate you still leave you searching for something deeper?In this episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense sits down with model, artist, and actress Aslayy Baugh for a vulnerable conversation about identity, intimacy, rejection, relationships, faith, and discovering who God created you to be.Aslayy takes us back to her childhood in Jamaica, where she grew up surrounded by warmth and community while still experiencing a sense of mental isolation. After moving to the United States, her curiosity, individuality, and desire for deeper connection continued shaping the woman she would become.She opens up about finding discipline through martial arts, suffering an ACL injury that forced her to slow down, and eventually entering the modeling industry as a teenager. As success, money, beauty, relationships, and new opportunities entered her life, Aslayy began confronting a deeper question: What happens when the things that give you validation still cannot give you intimacy?The conversation explores the danger of attaching your worth to performance, appearance, relationships, money, or other people's approval. Aslayy shares candidly about staying in an unhealthy relationship, searching for intimacy in places that couldn't provide it, and eventually realizing that the deepest connection she had been searching for could not be manufactured through another person.At the center of the conversation is her growing relationship with Jesus.Aslayy shares how her appetite began to change as she pursued Christ, how Scripture became increasingly alive and personal to her, and why she's learning to use her voice rather than allowing the modeling industry or other people's expectations to define the limits of who she can be.Norense and Aslayy also unpack what it means to navigate ambition without making success your identity, to endure rejection without allowing it to determine your worth, and to challenge the negative voice that tells you what you create won't be good enough.This conversation is about becoming comfortable with being different, finding intimacy with God, developing your voice, and having the courage to become everything God created you to be.In this episode:• Growing up in Jamaica and moving to America• Feeling different even around people you love• Immigrant families, vulnerability, and emotional intimacy• Rejection, injury, patience, and starting over• Building an identity through modeling and achievement• When money and success become validation• Searching for intimacy through relationships• Leaving an unhealthy relationship• The difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing Him personally• Finding your identity in Christ• How your spiritual appetite changes• Reading and speaking Scripture aloud• Sharing your faith without abandoning your personality• Ambition, perfectionism, and the fear of mediocrity• Fighting the negative voice with the Word of God• Learning to use your voice and publicly live your faithIf this episode hit you:Rate and review the Mind Bully Podcast — it helps this message reach more homes and hearts, one thought at a time.New episodes every week | @mindbullypodcast | @kingno_

Colonize the Ocean | Sept 21, 2026 | Aquanautic Adventures, Argoneta & Underwater GlampingWelcome back to Colonize the Ocean with Brendon Traxler. In this September 21, 2026 episode, Brendon looks at underwater habitats still sitting in limbo — projects that might happen, might not, and the ones he's cheering on anyway.This week's focus is Aquanautic Adventures from North Carolina startup Argoneta, co-founded by Ivan Francis and Andrew Lamm. Ivan was one of the first aquanauts at Jules' Undersea Lodge after COVID. Brendon interviewed him years ago when the designs were larger and the timeline more aggressive. The concept has since shrunk into a shallow 20–25 ft “tiny house” habitat: scuba-access only, one or two guests, more luxury glamping than research station.The pitch: spend 24 hours underwater, earn aquanaut certification, and stay in Caribbean water (Bahamas or Jamaica have been mentioned) for an intro rate around $1,000 a night after a $100 deposit, with regular nights closer to $1,500. That's in the same neighborhood as Jules in Florida — except this one is still designs, deposits, and beautiful renders.Brendon talks through what's real vs. what's still on the website, how hard these habitats actually are to build, and why he's still rooting for Ivan to pull it off.https://www.beaquanautic.com/http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.patreon.com/atlantisseacolony#ColonizeTheOcean #UnderwaterHabitat #Aquanaut #Argoneta #AquanauticAdventures #JulesUnderseaLodge #OceanColonization #Scuba #UnderwaterHotel #AtlantisSeaColony #UnderwaterGlamping #SaturationDiving #CaribbeanHabitat #IvanFrancis #BrendonTraxler

James told Miller, many of the themes in the book — violence, survival, shame, perseverance, masculinity — are culled from his own life. Talking Volumes: Marlon James Minneapolis singer-songwriter Annie Mack rounded out this moving and intimate evening. Tickets for the rest of the 2026 season of Talking Volumes are still on sale. Up next: Lucy Foley joins Miller on Sept. 25, to talk about her new novel, “Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel,” the brand-new Miss Marple mystery that brings Agatha Christie's iconic sleuth to a glamorous, snowbound resort in the Swiss Alps.

On Main Street in the southern Vermont town of Jamaica, there's an old inn that's been part of the village for more than 200 years. Painted yellow with purple shutters, the Jamaica Haus is run by Benzi Ross, who returned to Vermont after many years out west. Her sister, Tini Hamilton, operates a bakery at the Jamaica Haus called The Skinny Goose. The sisters grew up at Stratton Mountain Resort, where their parents, Emo and Ann Henrich, were beloved in the Stratton community and beyond. Old photographs, artwork and furniture from the early years of Stratton fill the Jamaica Haus. The sisters are embracing their parents legacy while also finding their own way to bring people together in the place they call home.

Lewis Rice spent 26 years inside the DEA, working undercover cases and helping take down some of the biggest drug traffickers in America in the 1970's, 80's & 90's. After earning his Criminal Justice degree from St. John's University, he joined the DEA and went on to coordinate major international investigations targeting violent cartels in Miami — cases that seized millions of dollars in cash and thousands of kilos of cocaine and heroin. He worked directly with infamous Harlem drug kingpin Frank Lucas after Lucas became a government cooperator, using his information to help convict major traffickers. Rice eventually rose through DEA leadership positions in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Detroit, and New York before becoming Special Agent in Charge of the DEA's flagship New York office — making him the youngest SAC in the entire agency at the time. After 26 years on the front lines of America's war on drugs, he retired in 2001. _____________________________________________  #miami #truecrimestories #cops #mafia #newyork _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B, joined by A-King, and Jason “Jah” Lee move from food conspiracies to crime, mental health, politics, and corporate accountability. After previewing the episode [ 00:44 ], the crew debates whether viral claims that some oxtail is actually kangaroo tail make sense financially or logistically [ 03:13 ], with detours through a Florida trip [ 04:40 ], Jamaica’s buffet and oxtail culture [ 07:41 ], the origins of the kangaroo-tail rumor [10:05 ], exotic meats and balut [ 15:50 ], and vegan meat versus farmed fish [ 19:55 ]. In “This Is America,” they unpack the mistrial in the Lindsey Clancy case involving the deaths of her three children [ 22:21 ], debating postpartum mental health and psychosis versus intent [ 26:56 ], punishment versus justice [ 28:55 ], and questions of premeditation and the lone holdout juror [ 31:44 ]. A reported Illinois case with similarities extends the discussion [ 38:36 ] before the crew reacts to a viral proposal involving “sexual relief” services for unhoused people in Los Angeles [ 42:20 ], prompting a larger debate about what resources unhoused communities actually need [ 45:26 ]. They then examine a California proposal requiring large companies to disclose historical ties and profits connected to slavery [ 50:12 ]. The political conversation turns to President Donald Trump’s proposed $5,000 “dividend” for U.S. adults if Republicans retain control of Congress [ 58:24 ], as the crew debates whether the pitch resembles an attempt to influence voters [ 01:00:09 ], runs the math on what such a payment could cost [ 01:00:55 ], and examines why a $5,000 promise could resonate with voters facing economic pressure [ 01:02:38 ] before entertaining theories about foreign money [ 01:05:46 ]. After some NFL season talk [ 01:07:51 ], they react to a baseball umpire policing a Black Dominican rookie’s tilted cap [ 01:08:25 ], sparking a debate about respectability politics, cultural expression, and who gets to define professionalism [ 01:13:22 ]. Finally, the crew weighs Glenn “Big Baby” Davis naming other athletes in connection with healthcare fraud investigations and whether speaking publicly crosses into “dry snitching” [ 01:16:22 ], before wrapping the episode with final thoughts and credits [ 01:25:57 ].

It's Kiki's birthday episode, and Mandii B is back on the couch — which means there was never a chance this conversation was going to stay on one topic.Kiki and Mandii catch up on friendship, getting older, cutting people off, dating across age groups, and what it means when the relationships you've had for years no longer fit the person you're becoming. Mandii also gets candid about being solo poly, why marriage and kids aren't part of her end goal, navigating jealousy in non-monogamous relationships, and why knowing exactly what you want makes dating a whole lot easier.Of course, things get messy along the way. They get into who can and cannot say the N-word, why some people are obsessed with leaving a “legacy” through children, the pressure women put on romantic relationships, AI helping the girlies text men, rich auntie expectations, and whether people actually like the people they're dating.Then Ask Kiki brings the perfect dilemma for Mandii: a listener is considering opening her relationship… except her boyfriend already has a coworker picked out. Is that ethical non-monogamy or just cheating with extra paperwork?And because Mandii is Mandii, she closes things out with a CockTale from Jamaica involving a nude pool, a very forward woman, a sea urchin, and a trip to the nurse's station that somehow only gets wilder from there.Pour something bubbly and get into it — because this one is equal parts friendship, sex, relationships, hot takes, and pure chaos.Every sip has a story.Follow me! @kikisaidso & @cocktalespodcastContact Me!Advice: advice@cocktalespod.comCockTales: cocktales@cocktalespod.comAdvertising: cameron@pleasurepodcasts.com Sip & Spill where I sip and you spill: 404-692-0039Sponsors/Special Offers:DRIVE BOOSTVisit vb.health and use code COCKTALES for 10% off or click the link in the episode description.BROOKLYN BEDDINGGo to brooklynbedding.com and use my promo code COCKTALESPOD at checkout to get 30% off sitewideduring the LABOR DAY SALE.

We recap the historic opening day of the 2026 World Athletics Ultimate Championship, track and field's newest global meet, with a $10 million prize pool that World Athletics is calling the richest in the history of the sport.The biggest headlines:- Jakob Ingebrigtsen won the men's 5000m in 12:59.24, going from fourth to first in the last 200 meters to beat Cole Hocker on his return to the 5000m. Hocker took silver in his first race at the distance since winning the 2025 World title. Parker Wolfe finished third. Nico Young was fifth. Grant Fisher sixth. Graham Blanks seventh. Five Americans in the top seven of a global 5000m final. It happened one week after Jakob and Hocker exchanged public words following the Diamond League Final.- Masai Russell won the women's 100m hurdles in 12.22 — two weeks after lowering the world record to 12.09 at the Zurich Diamond League. She's now on a 13-meet win streak dating back to placing fourth at the 2025 World Championships. Training partner Devynne Charlton was second for Bahamas.- Ja'Kobe Tharp added an Ultimate Championship title to his world record in the 110m hurdles, running 12.94 to edge 2025 World champion Cordell Tinch by one hundredth. The US took the top four spots in the men's 110m hurdles final even without Grant Holloway, who has been out all season with a March hamstring injury.- The US won the mixed 4x100m relay (Ronnie Baker, Anavia Battle, Courtney Lindsey, Kayla White) in 39.64 — two hundredths off the world record Jamaica set at the World Relays in May. The mixed relay debuts at the World Championships in 2027 and at the LA Olympics in 2028.- Mondo Duplantis cleared 6.20m to win the pole vault, then took three attempts at 6.32m in a bid for his 16th world record. Yaroslava Mahuchikh won the women's high jump to become the first athlete ever to hold Olympic gold, World Championship gold, world record, and Ultimate Championship gold simultaneously. Italy's Larissa Iapichino took the women's long jump for the biggest win of her career. Germany's Merlin Hummel won the men's hammer throw.- Plus prelims for Saturday's finals: 2025 World champion Collen Kebinatshipi of Botswana, Rai Benjamin, Chris Bailey, and Jacory Patterson all qualified for the men's 400m final. Marileidy Paulino led all women's 400m qualifiers. Rai Benjamin will race both the 400m final and the 400m hurdles semifinals on Saturday in what is one of the boldest double-events attempts of the year. All of the women's 800m favorites — Keely Hodgkinson, Audrey Werro, Femke Broeders-Bol — made Saturday's final.____________Stay tuned for more live coverage from the World Ultimate Championships in the days to come and make sure you're subscribed to the ⁠⁠CITIUS MAG YouTube channel ⁠⁠so you don't miss any of our interviews.

In this bonus “Let’s Talk About Race” episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B, A-King, and Jason “Jah” Lee open with some new-segment jokes [ 00:00 ] before acknowledging that somehow everything eventually becomes about race [01:01 ], recapping a Jamaica trip [ 02:24 ], and revisiting the potential problems with Meta smart glasses [ 02:45 ]. The main debate begins with Fat Joe defending his use of the N-word on The Joe Budden Podcast [ 05:04 ] and Marc Lamont Hill’s response [ 06:38 ], as the crew questions whether growing up alongside Black people or being deeply connected to hip-hop culture gives non-Black people permission to use the word [ 08:27 ]. They examine Latino anti-Blackness, racism, and colorism [ 12:40 ], the unique racial and cultural dynamics of New York versus other parts of the country [ 24:03 ], and who gets access to language rooted in Black culture [ 25:49 ]. The conversation expands to accountability, allyship, and who really earns a proverbial “cookout invite” [ 31:35 ], contrasting cultural proximity with actually showing up for Black issues. The discussion continues with Raven-Symoné’s comments about race and Black identity [ 33:08 ], including her argument that Blackness can be “universal” [ 34:29 ] and why her famous “I’m American, not African-American” explanation creates what the crew describes as “All Lives Matter” vibes [ 39:50 ]. From there, things get considerably lighter with light-skin jokes and a Harriet Tubman reference [ 42:17 ], a pressure-cooker chitlins story [ 43:00 ], and a late-night Jamaica cookie situation [ 43:37 ]. The food debate keeps rolling through soul food and its history of making something out of scraps [ 45:58 ], an argument involving grits, sugar, and pizza [ 48:55 ], and a passionate seafood boil and Old Bay rant [ 50:19 ]. Finally, the crew checks back in on Dr. Umar Johnson’s long-promised school [ 54:05] before closing the bonus episode with credits and a reminder to subscribe [ 55:00 ].
