As a reggae revolutionary who rejected peace in the name of truth and justice, and an outspoken critic of the Jamaican government, Peter Tosh's refusal to compromise nearly cost him his life many times over. He tried to amplify his message by purchasing Jamaica's Radio One. He tried to protect himself by way of African bush doctors and medicine men. He spent years knowing there was a bullet out there with his name on it. And in 1987, when Peter Tosh was 42, that bullet found him. Murdered in his own home by someone he knew. But why? Revenge? Wounded pride? Or was it murder for hire? Who really silenced the great Peter Tosh? To see the full list of contributors, see the show notes at www.disgracelandpod.com.

Reggaeton is full of myths and legends, but this story is true: El General arrived in Brooklyn in the mid-80s and began performing in the dancehall scene, which was booming. He began working with Jamaican producers who were recording and promoting Panamanian artists. Around the same time, a Spanish-language hip-hop revolution was also taking place, as mixtapes flew back and forth between NYC and Puerto Rico. New York became the crossroad that made Reggaeton possible. Listen to a special episode from our own Futuro Studios hit show LOUD: The History of Reggaeton hosted by Ivy Queen.

Picture this: You wake up tomorrow morning, check the news, and see the headline "Jamaica Strikes Oil." Your first thought? "Finally, my light bill will drop!" But what if we told you that finding oil could actually be the worst thing to happen to Jamaica's economy?In this episode of the Limitless Podcast, Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms unpack the incredible story of United Oil and Gas Company, a London-listed firm that has spent 10 years and $40 million USD searching Jamaica's southern waters for what could be up to 7 billion barrels of oil worth $23 billion USD.But here's where the story gets interesting. While everyone assumes oil discovery means cheaper electricity and fuel, the reality is far more complex. We explore the phenomenon called "Dutch Disease" and why countries like Nigeria went from thriving agricultural exporters to economic instability after oil discovery. Could Jamaica face the same fate?From JPS's monopoly and your electricity bill to investment opportunities in companies like Fesco, RPL, and Wigton Energy, we break down exactly what oil discovery would mean for every Jamaican. Plus, we reveal which JSE stocks could skyrocket if oil is confirmed and why one company trading for just 30 Jamaican dollars could be sitting on a goldmine.The transformation wouldn't just be economic. We're talking about free healthcare, massive infrastructure projects, sovereign wealth funds, and Jamaica potentially becoming the Caribbean's newest oil powerhouse. But at what cost?

Carey Chen is a world-traveled marine artist and lifelong fisherman who turned a passion for blue water into a career—painting billfish from memory and chasing giants with some of the best crews on earth. Born in Los Angeles to Jamaican parents, raised in Jamaica, and later based in Miami, Carey went from motorcycles and video stores to fishing tournaments across the Caribbean, licensing deals, and live painting at world-class events. In this conversation, we get into how a first sailfish on a kite lit the fuse, why sonar is changing offshore fishing (and why he thinks it'll soon be on every boat), what it's like to fish with the Bad Company program, and how a lifetime of travel turned into 3,000+ paintings “stuck in his head.” Some of the moments I found most meaningful in this conversation were: The first sailfish on a kite off Miami—and how one fish can change your life From fisherman to painter: leaving retail, painting live, and getting “discovered” at boat shows Fishing the world with Bad Company: Mag Bay marlin numbers that sound impossible until you see them The sonar debate: why new tech doesn't replace skill—but rewards crews who master it Big-fish mindset: chasing granders, tagging programs, and letting the big breeders go Seychelles, Cape Verde, Madeira: what “no-pressure” fisheries really feel like Growing up around legends—boxing promoters, Bob Marley, and the value of giving back through art Timestamps 00:00 Intro & who is Carey Chen 01:35 Jamaica → Miami → first sailfish on a kite 05:10 From fisherman to artist: the boat show breakthrough 10:42 Touring the Caribbean tournaments & live painting 15:28 Bad Company stories: Mag Bay marlin madness 21:40 Sonar, strategy, and the “is it cheating?” debate 28:05 Chasing granders: Africa, Cape Verde, Madeira 34:20 Seychelles & the magic of low-pressure fisheries 40:55 Flats talk: triggers, bumpheads, bonefish, Andros 47:10 Art from memory: anatomy, light, and getting it right 52:25 Business today: licensing, dropship, 3,000+ pieces 57:30 Growing up around champions & giving back 1:02:10 Final thoughts on passion → profession

Frederick “Toots” Hibbert grew up singing gospel in rural Jamaica before moving to Kingston. Alongside Henry “Raleigh” Gordon and Nathaniel “Jerry” Matthias, he formed The Maytals in 1962. Their stacked harmonies and call-and-response vocals carried a gospel intensity that set them apart. Church-honed harmonies: Toots grew up singing gospel; the trio formed in Kingston (1962). Their stacked, call-and-response vocals came straight from church to the dancehall. Name & lineup: The “Maytals” began as a vocal trio; by the 1970s, the touring/recording band—Beverley's All-Stars (Jackie Jackson, Paul Douglas, Hux Brown, Rad Bryan, Winston Wright, etc.)—became the powerhouse behind Toots & The Maytals. Why it mattered: That gospel and soul energy over Jamaican rhythms made their sound instantly human and uplifting—like Otis Redding fronting a ska/rocksteady band. It helped reggae feel familiar to global ears.

"What you're about to hear is the opening of my novel-in-progress, The Price of Two Pence. It begins in Battersea, January 1975, on the Number 77 bus, where Ronald Jones — a Jamaican bus conductor — asks two young men for a two-pence fare for their dog. What happens next alters his life, and the life of his sister Nancy, forever.The novel traces the aftermath of that moment across London and rural Jamaica, exploring the grief and rage of a family, the silences of a city that tried to forget this death, and the persistence of memory across generations. At its heart, it's about what it takes for a community to keep someone's story alive — and the fire we must walk through to bring it into the light."Blessings,Jason Allen-PaisantYou may follow Jason's journey and his award-winning work at www.jasonallenpaisant.com This episode of BCLF Cocoa Pod was made possible with the support of funds from the Brooklyn Arts Council Local Arts Support Grant.

For 80 meters, Kishane Thompson looked like the man to beat. Exploding out of the blocks in the men's 100-meter final at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, the Jamaican sprint sensation surged into the lead, his long, fluid strides daring the field to catch him.But just as in Paris a year ago, the closing meters would tell the story. This time it wasn't Noah Lyles, but his countryman Oblique Seville who reeled him in. Thompson crossed the line in 9.82 seconds, securing the silver medal behind Seville's blistering 9.77 – the fastest global final since 2019.For Thompson, it was validation: back-to-back podium finishes at the sport's biggest stages, and proof that Jamaica has not just one, but two world-class sprinters carrying the legacy of Bolt and Blake into a new era.His silver, paired with Seville's gold, delivered Jamaica's first men's 100m 1–2 at a global championship since the London Olympics.He spoke to Anderson Emerole about the 100m final at the World Championships.____________Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on InstagramGuest: Kishane Thompson | @ iamkishane_ on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

Unfortunately, the runner next to him, Junior, stumbles and takes Derice down with him.Derice tries to convince the Olympic committee leader to rerun the race, but it's a no-go. On his way out, he notices a picture of his late father standing next to another man. He asks who it is, and learns that it's Irv Blitzer, a fellow gold medalist who once competed in bobsledding. Irv lives in Jamaica now, working as a bookie and living a miserable life.It takes a while, but Derice finally wears him down, and Blitzer agrees to give him a shot. They gather a group of people together, but Blitzer scares them off by showing a reel of bobsled crashes. By the time it ends, the room is empty—except for one of the other runners who fell with Junior, a grumpy guy named Yul. The problem is, there's no such thing as a three-man bobsled team. That's when Junior shows up. Yul tries to fight him when he walks in, but—like it or not—that's their squad.They get to work, and after a lot of crashing and falling, they finally manage to get into the bobsled in under six seconds.Now they need funding. After failing to land a sponsor, they try random fundraisers, but still fall short. Junior steps up and sells his fancy car to cover the rest of the costs.To Calgary they go. Blitzer registers the team and borrows a rundown bobsled from a former teammate. The Jamaicans struggle to adapt to, well, ice. Derice talks to an opponent who warns him that Blitzer is holding him back—that he hasn't been the same since he was caught cheating.Meanwhile, the other teammates get into a bar fight at a honky-tonk. Derice gives them a pep talk about locking in and focusing.It's time for qualifying, and Blitzer surprises them with their very own uniforms. They need to make it under 60 seconds—and THEY DO IT!They celebrate by painting their sled and naming it Cool Runnings. But soon after, they receive a letter: they've been disqualified. Blitzer storms into the rules committee meeting, insisting they not penalize the team for his past mistakes. After deliberation, the committee reinstates them.It's Olympic time. Back home, everyone watches as they march in the opening ceremonies. Junior's dad tries to pull him back home, but Junior stands up to him at last.The team's first run on the track is a disaster, and they finish dead last. Derice tries copying the Swiss team's methods, but Sanka pushes back—telling him they need to be themselves. On the second day, they race in their own style and finish eighth.During their final race, a loose screw causes one of the bobsled's blades to detach, sending the sled crashing and flipping over. Determined to finish, the team lifts the sled and carries it across the finish line. The crowd erupts in applause—including Junior's father.The epilogue explains that the team returned to Jamaica as heroes, and came back four years later to the Winter Olympics to compete as equals.

Jason Allen-Paisant is an award-winning Jamaican poet, writer and academic, based in the UK. His latest work The Possibility of Tenderness is a people's history of the land, a family saga, and a personal history told through the lens of the 'grung' and plants. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Allen-Paisant recalls his upbringing in rural Jamaica, the plants, people and farmers of his native district, Coffee Grove, and his eventual migration to the UK. He describes how his transformative personal journey of self-actualization in a new country and his inevitable revisiting of the village of his childhood would become the inspiration for The Possibility of Tenderness as a tale of land, environment, the world of plants, and what a rural village can teach us about leisure, land ownership and reclamation today.

Hey Slaycaters, congratulations! You've just won the Jamaican lottery! All you need to do to receive your winnings is pay a small fee (to cover customs charges and shipping costs). Never mind that you never entered the Jamaican lottery — you won! Here is the untraceable way for you to send the fee… Now obviously you're way too smart to ever fall for a scam like this — but believe it or not, hundreds of people do…including Heidi Muth, a teacher from California. Only, when she suspected she'd been scammed she hopped a plane to Montego Bay, Jamaica to confront the people she'd been talking to. Bad idea. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us, stay safe out there…and beware of obvious scams!

In this episode of Wine & Hip Hop: Dual Citizenship, Jermaine reflects on the healing this country needs and shares his perspective on immigration not as politics, but as the story of culture, connection, and what we create when we come together. From the Caribbean migration of the 1970s to the Bronx, Jermaine explores how Jamaican traditions like toasting became the foundation for hip hop and how first-generation experiences shaped the sound of a global movement. Alongside the music, he breaks down Lambrusco—a sparkling red wine from Northern Italy—explaining its styles, flavor, and why it pairs so well with bold Jamaican dishes like jerk chicken. More than just history and wine, this episode argues that Wine & Hip Hop is more than culture—it's a blueprint for unity, proof that when we blend differences with intention, we can save the world one pairing at a time.
(01:03) Lisa Ray of Hammajack Heat Company joins us to share the delightful origin story behind their uniquely named hot sauce brand – a four-year-old's adorable mispronunciation that became the perfect business name.(16:12) Lisa walks us through the fascinating fermentation process that gives their sauces distinctive depth and complexity. Though she admits she wasn't initially a hot sauce enthusiast herself, Lisa now crafts some of their most popular flavors, including their best-selling Ginger sauce featuring coconut milk and ginger root. We explore their product line from the original OG sauce to accidental creations like their tomato-free barbecue sauce that became a hit with customers who have nightshade sensitivities.(22:20) The big news? Pittsburgh's very first Hot Sauce Festival is happening October 4th 2025 at Velum Fermentation on the South Side. Rather than viewing other sauce makers as competition, Lisa has invited 17 competitors to join the celebration, creating a collaborative event featuring food vendors, a hot pepper eating contest, and even a "fire and ice challenge" benefiting Animal Friends for Veterans.(40:46) We also hear from Ashley Cesaratto about her favorite mobile pizza experience at Vitalia Wood Fired Oven, and Vonn and Quay of Burghade Lemonade share their mouthwatering Jamaican jerk mushroom pasta recipe. Whether you're a heat seeker or just curious about Pittsburgh's evolving food scene, this episode delivers a flavorful journey through one of the city's hottest culinary success stories.Support the showLiked the episode?

This week on Visual Intonation, we sit down with Max-Arthur Mantle, a Jamaican-born artist whose lens, pen, and voice challenge silence. As a writer, photographer, and filmmaker, Mantle builds bridges between the Caribbean and the diaspora, between queerness and culture, between pain and power. His debut novel Batty Bwoy didn't just tell a story. It reclaimed one. In this conversation, Mantle takes us behind the scenes of his boldest work yet: BATTY BWOY!, the feature film adaptation that will become the first LGBTQ-themed narrative ever filmed on Jamaican soil. We talk about reclaiming slurs, confronting polite homophobia, and why it's not enough to be tolerated — you must be seen. You must be heard. You must be accepted. We trace Mantle's path from fashion photography to fiction, from Howard University classrooms to film festival stages. He reflects on growing up queer in Jamaica, on the resilience of diasporic identity, and on the global responsibility of storytelling. This episode is about more than art. It's about truth. It's about healing. It's about that 13-year-old boy afraid of his own future, and the man who now tells him: you are not alone. If you've ever felt erased, if you've ever fought to make your story visible, this episode will speak to you. Tune in as Max-Arthur Mantle offers not just a conversation, but a call — to create, to confront, and to care. https://www.gofundme.com/f/ub8n6-support-jamaicas-first-lgbtq-feature-film/e/o?attribution_id=sl:a10e5f1c-7907-4845-91ae-5c2257e6fc71&lang=en_US&ts=1751960877&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp13_t1-amp14_t2-amp15_t3&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=email&v=amp14_t2Info@battybwoyfilm.comhttps://battybwoy.com/ Max-Arthur Mantle Source: Instagram Max-Arthur Mantle
