New Orleans has often been referred to as the northernmost city in the Caribbean. On this week's show, we examine Caribbean culture and cuisine and their influence on both Louisiana and the entire world. First, we hear from Chef Nina Compton of Compère Lapin about the journey from her childhood home on the eastern Caribbean island of St. Lucia to the commercial kitchens of New Orleans – via Jamaica, Miami, and a star-turn on Top Chef. Chef Nina has recounted her remarkable gastronomic journey, along with recipes she's developed en route, in a cookbook titled Kwéyòl / Creole: Recipes, Stories, and Tings from a St. Lucian Chef's Journey. Then, we sit down with the world's first global ambassador for the category of rum, Ian Burrell. Growing up in London to Jamaican-born parents, Ian was raised in a rum-loving household. He tells us about rum on a global stage. And he should know – he's conducted rum masterclasses on every continent – including Antarctica!

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Think you know the Garvey story? Meet the two Amys who built its backbone. We dive into the lives of Amy Ashwood Garvey and Amy Jacques Garvey, Jamaican visionaries whose organizing, editing, and leadership turned a charismatic vision into a global movement. Their names appear in the margins of many textbooks, but their fingerprints are on every chapter of Garveyism's rise, reach, and survival.We trace Amy Ashwood's role as a UNIA co-founder, strategist, and early architect who helped design the organization's infrastructure in Jamaica and nurtured its international ambitions. Her work exemplifies a transatlantic Caribbean feminism rooted in institution-building and political education, long before the term became common. We then spotlight Amy Jacques, a journalist and editor whose stewardship during Garvey's imprisonment kept the movement alive. She edited The Negro World, wrote speeches, managed correspondence, and articulated a bold vision for women's leadership in Black liberation. By editing and publishing The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, she preserved a scattered archive and ensured that future generations could study, adapt, and debate Garveyism. Along the way, we acknowledge the human complexity—yes, Marcus married two Amys—and use that irony to open the door to deeper truths: movements are made by people with egos, contradictions, humor, and heart. Re-centering these women shifts how we measure impact, highlighting the editors, organizers, archivists, and educators who keep ideas moving across borders and time. If you've only heard the headline, this conversation invites you into the story behind it. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can discover the women who built Garveyism.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Damion & Quanda EXP, Travel with Us to The Joy of Cruising Podcast. They shared with me: We're Damion and Quanda, a couple whose love story started fast and hasn't slowed down since. Damion moved from Jamaica in 2012, met Quanda, and just three months later, we were married. More than a decade later, we're raising our two adventurous boys (10 and 11), building careers we love, and exploring the world together, mostly by sea.Both of us are proud to work with Royal Caribbean Cruises. Damion, originally from Jamaica, is part of the Executive Escalations team, where he responds to communications sent to executive leadership from directors all the way up to the CEO. Quanda, who proudly carries both Jamaican and Turks Islander heritage, works on the Accessible Needs team, helping guests with physical, emotional, or mental challenges enjoy a cruise that's not just possible, but unforgettable, because everyone deserves an amazing vacation.Outside of work, you'll find us doing what we love most: cruising with our kids. We believe there's no better way to see the world than by ship, since you get to experience multiple destinations in one trip while creating unforgettable family memories. While Royal Caribbean is our home at sea and our first love, we've also enjoyed sailing with Celebrity, MSC, Carnival, and most recently Virgin Voyages.For us, cruising isn't just travel. It's a way to teach our boys about different cultures, show them the beauty of the world, and remind them that adventure is always just a boarding pass away.Do you have a dream car?Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

This is final installment of the intellectually charged and hilariously honest conversation with special guest Antonio Michael Downing and the Everyday Black Men podcast consisting of Riker, Reed, Sham, The Rider, White Collar Suge, and the Black Libertarian. Together they take a deep dive into Black literacy, cultural legacy, and uncomfortable truths. The crew tackles why many Black Americans struggle with reading, linking it to slavery, survival, parenting, and a lack of cultural infrastructure — all while debating if white authors dominate the bookshelf too heavily. Antonio Michael shares how the King James Bible and his grandma's poor eyesight jumpstarted his love for literature, leading to a lifelong relationship with reading and soft hands. The conversation detours through spicy commentary on Kamala Harris, Jamaican cultural contradictions, and literary hot takes on Lovecraft, Robert Greene, and Gogol. With humor, heat, and unexpected depth, the episode challenges listeners to consider how stories are passed down — or left behind in Black communities.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

This week on Not Today, Pal, Jamie-Lynn and Rob stumble into one of the most unhinged rabbit holes yet: a mysterious white rapper with an aggressively Jamaican accent, baffling lyrics, and a new catchphrase that will live forever...*“Bedroom Bully.”* From live-translating incomprehensible patois bars (including a shocking E. coli reference), to debating cultural identity, and wondering if buying something just because a salesman is good makes you weak… the episode spirals beautifully. Things really take off when futuristic robot legs from China come into play, followed by late-night QVC confessions, Sopranos house memories, and a surprisingly heated debate over hand washing, utility belts, Zyns, and empty pockets.

In this solo episode, I reflect on a deeply personal trip back to my home island of Jamaica following a devastating hurricane. What began as a planned celebration for my younger sister's 30th birthday became a powerful homecoming filled with mixed emotions, difficult decisions, and meaningful moments of family, service, and reflection. I share the internal debate I faced about whether to still travel after the storm, how I ultimately decided to go, and what the experience revealed to me about community, resilience, gratitude, and wealth beyond money. From being reunited with all my siblings in one place, to giving back through supplies and local spending, to leaning on my village back home as a mother of three, this episode is a reminder that financial freedom is meant to support a full, connected life. In this episode, I discuss: How leaning on my village at home made it possible for me to travel as a working mother What visiting my father and grandfather's gravesite stirred emotionally and spiritually Why supporting Jamaican-owned businesses felt especially important during recovery How giving back without performing it publicly shifted my perspective on service + more Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your copy of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

What if leadership growth starts with confronting the story you've been carrying your entire life?This week on Mission CTRL, Ramon sits down with Shirley Skyers-Thomas — attorney, Deputy Commissioner of the State of Connecticut, executive coach, and author of UnLEARNEDed: Honor Your Story, Release Restraints, and Embrace Your Power. Raised in Bridgeport by Jamaican parents and shaped by faith, family, and service, Shirley shares how her journey - from pastor's kid to government employee - informs the way she leads and advocates today.In this conversation, Shirley breaks down why personal development and leadership development can't be separated, especially for small and micro-business owners who often lack access to formal training. She challenges leaders to recognize their own narratives, unpack limiting beliefs formed early in life, and understand how those stories quietly show up in delegation, trust, and team dynamics.She also opens up about writing UnLEARNEDed during the pandemic - a deeply vulnerable process sparked by turning 40 and realizing that professional success had become a façade. The book, and her work today, invite leaders to interrupt old thought patterns, embrace continuous growth, and lead with authenticity.Whether you're a founder, executive, or leader navigating change, this episode is a powerful reminder that honoring your story is the first step toward sustainable leadership and lasting impact.

“Spending time in hell is not my idea of something that one should do,” says poet Lorna Goodison, yet she immersed herself there for years to create her extraordinary modern Jamaican translation of Dante's Inferno. We are thrilled to offer this conversation between Pádraig and Lorna, recorded as an online component of the Greenbelt Festival in England in 2025. She reads from her work, and together, they discuss Lorna's inspiration for her underworld undertaking, how she found her Virgil, and why she calls The Inferno “bitter, necessary medicine for now.”   We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes.  Caribbean poet Lorna Goodison was born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was appointed Poet Laureate of Jamaica in 2017. In 2018, she received a Windham-Campbell Literature Prize, and in 2019 she was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.

A new poll shows that 70% of U.S. Catholic voters view Pope Leo XIV favorably. Meanwhile, as Christmas approaches, aid is reaching Jamaican families recovering from a devastating hurricane. And, the Pontifical Irish College in Rome continues to preserve music through nearly 400 Christmases.

Tim Conway Jr. brings in his legendary Uncle Wally Dalton for a Best Of hour packed with music history, family tales, and classic Conway chaos. Wally shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories about his friend Johnny Nash — the iconic singer-songwriter behind “I Can See Clearly Now” and one of the first non-Jamaican artists to record reggae in Kingston. The memories keep flowing as Wally answers a baseball trivia question, tells a hilarious wedding story, and talks about the Dalton family’s own original songs, including the unforgettable “Charge” moment. Tim and Mark wrap things up with a fun dive into comedian Jake Johannsen and a brutally honest take on yard sales and thrift stores — including why some thrift shops have gotten way too snobby to take anyone’s old junk anymore. It’s a warm, funny, nostalgic hour with great stories, big laughs, and Conway family gold.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few years ago, the Jamaican government started making an unusual financial bet. It went to investors around the world asking if they'd like to wager on the chances a major hurricane would hit the island in the next couple of years. In finance terms, these kinds of wagers are called "catastrophe bonds." They're a way to get investors to share the risk of a major disaster, whether that's a Japanese earthquake, a California wildfire, or a Jamaican hurricane. This market for catastrophe has gotten really hot lately. And it's changing the way that insurance works for all of us. Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. /  Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was produced by Willa Rubin and edited by Marianne McCune.
