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.

The guys are back — and this episode goes completely off the rails. What starts as Thanksgiving talk turns into a debate about U.S. geography, maps lying, and America's lack of high-speed rail… before the crew finally gets to the Magic, the Raptors, and the Eastern Conference race.In this episode of Off the Screen, Jordon, Michael, and Alejandro return with a chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly deep conversation that wanders far beyond basketball. The trio starts by joking about how hard it's been to get all four hosts together and how life schedules, grad school, and the holidays keep throwing the lineup off. A simple Thanksgiving recap quickly spirals into a comedic debate about “white people food,” Jamaican and Haitian dishes, and the lack of good island restaurants in certain cities.Travel talk transitions into a surprisingly serious discussion of U.S. geography. The guys go off about how big Florida actually is, why people misunderstand state sizes, how map projections lie, and why driving across America feels drastically different from traveling across Europe. Naturally, this sparks a passionate rant about the U.S. lacking a modern rail system, the history behind it, and how high-speed trains could completely change American travel.Eventually, the crew pulls themselves back to basketball — starting with the Orlando Magic. Jordon breaks down attending the recent Magic vs. Bulls game, covering the crowd energy, key runs, Anthony Black's contributions, and standout performances from Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane. The guys debate how the offense shifts when Paolo Banchero is in or out of the lineup, whether Orlando plays more freely without him, and what the Magic must do moving forward to become a true contender in the East.The conversation then shifts to Toronto, where the Raptors' surprisingly balanced start becomes the focus. The crew analyzes Scottie Barnes' continued rise, RJ Barrett's driving, Brandon Ingram's fit, and Jakob Poeltl's underrated importance. They discuss the team's sustainability, how the offense collapses when Poeltl sits, and whether Toronto has enough talent to keep pace in a suddenly deep Eastern Conference.From there, the guys break down the entire East — the Knicks' consistency, the Cavs' up-and-down performances, Milwaukee's potential deadline moves, and the Heat being the Heat. They also compare the development paths of the Magic and Raptors to teams like the 2022 Celtics and the Suns, emphasizing long-term growth, chemistry, and not rushing to blow things up.The episode is packed with laughs, real hoops analysis, friendly debates, and the classic Off the Screen chaos that listeners love. Whether you're here for NBA breakdowns or to hear three friends argue about Idaho, this one has everything.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – 02:00 | Intro, three-man lineup, schedule struggles02:00 – 07:00 | Thanksgiving talk, Jamaican/Haitian food, traveling07:00 – 12:00 | Geography rabbit hole: Florida size, maps lying, state rankings12:00 – 14:30 | U.S. infrastructure & high-speed rail rant14:30 – 17:00 | Finally… basketball.

Residents from Black River, St. Elizabeth, are sounding the alarm, and frankly, it's hard not to share their outrage. In the fragile hours after the hurricane swept through, what should have been a coordinated, decisive government response instead looked like hesitation, confusion, and absence.Some people are alleging that the relief agencies on the ground were ineffective—no tents, no structured food program, no organized medical presence. In a disaster of this scale, essential services should have been stationed and ready: emergency tents, mobile clinics, water and sanitation units, ground teams tracking displaced residents, and a rapid deployment of resources to stabilize those most affected. That simply did not happen. Instead, helicopters circled overhead, assessing the destruction from a distance, while families on the ground waited—hungry, exposed, unaccounted for. Displaced residents still don't have proper shelter. They don't have a central point of service. They don't have a coordinated system guiding them toward safety, medical care, or basic necessities. In 2025, after so many global lessons in disaster management, this should never be the story. And yet here we are.Let's be clear: relief comes before rebuilding. Before talk of construction, procurement, or long-term recovery, there must be tents, food, water, sanitation, health services, child protection services, and community support teams on the ground immediately. That's Emergency Response 101. You stabilize the people, then you move to rebuilding the community.But from all accounts, Jamaica's government response is lagging—and community members are noticing. Many are openly saying that if it weren't for people like Shaggy and other Jamaican celebrities abroad, flying in and stepping up, many families would still be starving, stranded, and forgotten.It shouldn't take celebrity intervention for people to get basic relief.So the question stands like a heavy drumbeat: What is going on?Why weren't emergency tents pre-positioned? Why wasn't there an immediate medical and sanitation rollout? Why do residents have to beg for what should be automatic in a disaster? And most importantly: Who is accountable for this breakdown, and when will the people of Black River get the relief they deserve?By Rev. Renaldo C McKenzie, Author of "Neoliberalism.

Nine millibars. That's how close Jamaica came to getting a $150 million payout from Hurricane Beryl. Instead, we waited. Then Hurricane Melissa slammed into Jamaica with 892 millibar pressure, the joint strongest hurricane on record in 90 years, and triggered the catastrophe bond. Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms sit down with economist Keenan Falconer to break down Jamaica's disaster financing framework, how the $24 billion payout actually works, and why this insurance just saved the country from fiscal catastrophe. From multi-layered risk financing to which sectors will bounce back fastest, this is the economic reality check every Jamaican investor needs to hear.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: Nine Millibars from Disaster00:35 Meet Keenan Falconer: From School Challenge Quiz to Economic Policy03:07 The Discipline Behind Success: Work Ethic and Productivity09:23 Pomodoro Techniques and Task Completion Philosophy12:09 School Challenge Quiz Glory: The 2013 Championship Story16:03 Current Role in Jamaica's Private Sector17:23 Hurricane Melissa: The Catastrophe Bond Explained22:27 What Makes the Cat Bond Different from Regular Insurance25:11 How Parametric Insurance Actually Works28:20 The Multi-Layered Disaster Financing Framework32:37 Relief, Recovery, and Reconstruction: Three Phases Explained37:09 Why Inflation Will Rise and Interest Rates May Follow42:58 Renewing the Cat Bond: What Happens Next48:10 Better to Have Insurance and Not Need It50:15 What If Beryl Had Triggered the Bond?52:20 The Fiscal Impact Without Insurance Coverage57:20 Which Sectors Will Recover Fastest1:02:32 Message to International Investors: Why Jamaica Still Makes Sense1:05:08 Building Back Better: Resilient Infrastructure for 20501:10:30 Investment Approach: Loss Minimizing Over Profit Maximizing1:13:15 Positive Outlook: Jamaica's Resilience Through Crisis

RIP, Jimmy Cliff, the Jamaican musician has died at the age of 81. When it comes to movie star ratings, Merrill firmly believes five stars is one star too many. Horror comedies are incredibly hard to do well, and Merrill loves campy horror! Music producer Benny Blanco’s mother Sandra Levin was the victim of a home invasion in Studio City, in which she hid in her bathroom as her multimillion-dollar home was broken into. Levin is the mother-in-law of Selena Gomez. When it comes to sleep patterns, we’ve got early birds, night owls or normies. Sleep preference is almost entirely genetically predetermined. It’s evolutionary. Gen Z just loves to rename things that have been around since the beginning of forever. The latest? Micro joy, which is actually just a new name for the small moments of happiness.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jimmy Cliff, born James Chambers on 30 July 1944 in Somerton, St. James Parish, Jamaica, emerged from humble beginnings to become one of reggae's most beloved and influential figures. His parents worked modest jobs on a rural farm, and from a young age, Cliff showed a natural gift for singing. As a child, he sang in his church choir; by his early teens he had moved with his family to Kingston, determined to carve out a career in music. At just 14 years old, Cliff scored his first hit with the self-penned single “Hurricane Hattie”, a song that nods to his own miraculous arrival during a storm. With his early success in Jamaica, he soon caught the attention of producer Leslie Kong, whose Beverly's label would provide a platform for Cliff to record more material and refine his style. In 1965, Cliff followed an invitation from Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, to move to the United Kingdom. While in London, he experimented with combining ska, rocksteady, and soul influences, earning recognition beyond Jamaica. Over the late 1960s, he released key tracks like “Wonderful World, Beautiful People” and “Vietnam”, the latter gaining admiration for its protest message. A turning point in his career—and in the global recognition of reggae—came in 1972 with the film The Harder They Come, directed by Perry Henzell. Cliff starred as Ivan Martin, a small-time musician who is forced into a life of crime. The movie's gritty realism and its all-star soundtrack, featuring Cliff's vocals on songs such as “Many Rivers to Cross”, “Sitting in Limbo”, and the title track itself, resonated widely. The film is often credited with helping bring reggae to a wider international audience. Though Cliff continued to release music through the 1970s, he also explored his spiritual side—spending time in Africa and embracing Islam, as well as other spiritual practices. In the 1980s, he returned to a more mainstream sound and released Cliff Hanger, winning his first Grammy Award in 1985. The success continued: in 1993, his cover of Johnny Nash's “I Can See Clearly Now” for the Cool Runnings movie soundtrack became a global hit, reintroducing his voice to a new generation. Throughout his life, Cliff recorded prolifically—producing over 30 albums. His later work continued to reflect his commitment to social justice: in 2012, his album Rebirth, co-produced with Tim Armstrong of Rancid, won him another Grammy. In 2022, he released Refugees, a deeply humanitarian record inspired by global crises, which he used to voice solidarity with displaced people. Jimmy Cliff's influence extended far beyond his singing. He collaborated with a wide array of artists—from the Rolling Stones to Annie Lennox to Paul Simon—and his songs were covered by many others, underlining the universal appeal of his message. In recognition of his impact, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. In Jamaica, he was honored with the Order of Merit, one of the nation's highest accolades. On a personal level, Cliff was intensely private. He had several children, and his longtime partner, Latifa Chambers, survived him. His wife announced his passing on 24 November 2025, revealing that he died following a seizure and pneumonia. Jimmy Cliff's legacy is defined not just by his music, but by the spirit it carried: hope, resistance and unity. From his rural Jamaican beginnings to global stages, he remained true to his message and his people. In his words, he always believed in crossing to the other side—to higher ground. Now, his journey has come full circle, but his songs continue to carry that same power to uplift, to challenge, and to heal.To learn more about Jimmy Cliff head to his website https://www.jimmycliff.com/

On May 11, 1981, Bob Marley — the Jamaican singer, songwriter, and cultural revolutionary who brought reggae and Rastafarianism to the global stage — died of cancer at the age of 36 in Miami. Born in rural Nine Mile and rising from the streets of Kingston's Trenchtown, Marley fused spiritual conviction with political defiance in songs like “One Love,” “Redemption Song,” and “No Woman, No Cry.” Though his life was cut short, his music and message of unity, resistance, and peace made him a worldwide symbol of freedom and the enduring soul of Jamaica.

The link between jazz and what we now call reggae goes back 70+ years to the time of Count Basie and Duke Ellington's big bands in the 1940s and '50s, which were very popular in Jamaica. These records arrived through sailors, migrants, and sound-system operators like Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid, who travelled to the U.S. specifically to buy jazz and R&B 78s. The island absorbed these sounds and fused them with mento (Jamaica's folk music), African rhythmic traditions, New Orleans R&B (Fats Domino, Rosco Gordon), and bits of Country and Gospel. Out of this blend came the foundation of what would eventually become ska. Early ska bands felt like compact jazz big bands- horn sections front and centre, trading solos, swinging lines, and arrangements shaped by jazz harmony. The Skatalites were made up of jazz-trained musicians from the Alpha School of Music, including Don Drummond, Tommy McCook, Roland Alphonso, Lester Sterling, and Jackie Mittoo. Players like Ernest Ranglin and Monty Alexander brought traditional jazz phrasing into their playing. If you listen to early ska, you hear bebop-style solos, ii–V–I chord movements, blue notes, horn riffs modelled after Ellington and Basie, and rhythm sections that mix jazz walking lines with a distinct upbeat “skank.” The shift from jazz to ska was a natural evolution. Sound systems were growing in popularity, and access to new releases from the USA was limited to those who could travel there and purchase them, as mentioned with Dodd & Reid. Jazz and Jump Blues were beginning to disappear, and Sound System operators needed fresh music to keep people coming back, so they started looking to existing talent on the island. The early days of Ska were recorded by musicians who took those elements and reshaped them into something uniquely Jamaican, emphasising the offbeat, simplifying the walking bass into a pulsing groove, and blending African-derived rhythms with American jazz techniques. This mixture created the dance-driven sound of ska, which later slowed into rocksteady and evolved into what we now call reggae. For today's mix, I explore a collection of jazz tracks I've always gravitated toward—those with a groove, that swing, and that carry some of the same energy that fed early Jamaican music. I focused on artists like Miles, Blakey, and Dizzy for this 90-minute session, and I hope you enjoy it.

Jamaica Broilers stock crashed from $40 to ~$18 after a $46B fraud bombshell in US operations—hosts Dr. Matthew Preston & Dr. Thaon Simms cut through the noise, reveal restated financials (6B profit → 10B loss), asset inflation, liability concealment, and why bankruptcy odds are low. They break down recovery catalysts: profitable Jamaican ops (+400% Q1 profit), $40B asset revaluation incoming, tax credits up to $30B, debt restructuring, and possible US meat exit.

Janice Clarke opened a Jamaican restaurant Elliment in downtown Louisville earlier this year, and it's already become a gathering spot and resource for Louisville's Jamaican community. Last month, Clarke's native country of Jamaica was devastated by Hurricane Melissa, the strongest recorded hurricane to ever hit the island country. We talked with her about how she came to start the restaurant, and how she is raising money and collecting non-perishable food and new and gently used clothes to send to Jamaica amidst the recovery.

Have you ever felt so exhausted that even a full night's sleep doesn't help? Maybe you're dragging yourself to school each morning, fighting back tears in the parking lot. Or sitting in your car for an hour after work because you just can't face going inside yet. I get it. As educators, we give everything to our students… often at the expense of our own wellbeing.   This week, I'm joined by Dr. Michelle Chanda Singh to explore her journey from burnout to balance, and how she discovered that teacher wellness isn't selfish - it's essential. And in this episode, she shares a revolutionary framework that changed everything for her, and could transform your teaching experience too.   Tune in to discover why you have to feel well to teach well, and how, when teachers model self-regulation and wellness practices, it creates ripple effects throughout classrooms, schools, and communities. Dr. Michelle shares the 7 areas of rest (and why you're probably deficient in at least 3 of them), and how to incorporate micro-moments of restoration throughout your school day.   Meet Dr. Michelle Chanda Singh: Dr. Michelle Chanda Singh is a National Board Certified Teacher, CEO of LCT-E Learning Solutions®, and founder of Restful Teacher® and Empty2Empowered™. A globally recognized education leader, Michelle champions equity, innovation, and well-being in education. Her EQUAL Methodology™ equips educators and leaders with research-based strategies and emerging technologies to create inclusive and engaging learning environments.   As a Jamaican immigrant, Michelle's passion for cultural empathy and inclusivity has fueled over two decades of transformative impact as a teacher, district leader, professor, consultant, and speaker. Through her curricula, training programs,  and keynotes, she provides actionable solutions to today's biggest educational and organizational challenges—from burnout to disengagement—helping schools, institutions, and organizations cultivate thriving leaders and empowered learners.   Find the full episode show notes and transcript, click here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/412   Keep up with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/akellycoaching/

Dacia Moore, licensed counselor and founder of Second Wind Counseling & Consulting,  has dedicated her career to helping African Americans understand the benefits of therapy, take a proactive approach to mental wellness, and become their best selves. She's the author of Why Are So Many Students So Angry? and the forthcoming From Stuck to Unstoppable. In this episode, Dacia traces her mission back to her Jamaican mother, Dorothy, whose struggle with depression became a living picture of what it means to be "stuck." Watching Dorothy's pain - and her resilience - taught Dacia that staying stuck has a cost, and that faith, work ethic, and getting help are how we move again. We talk about recognizing when to ask for support and take a break, knowing when to let go and move on, navigating depression with compassion, and guiding our children with the hard-earned wisdom of our own experiences.

Since the 1960s in Jamaica, iconic figures such as Bob Marley have gathered in backyards to write reggae anthems that conquered world charts. The yard remains a cornerstone in Jamaican culture. Musicians withdraw from the violence of the city to create and play songs in their yards. In Jamaican patois, “mi yard” means “my home,” and many songs, proverbs and colloquialisms hinge on the word “yard.” More even than the music itself, the yard evokes a state of mind and a physical space wherein artists create amid the warmth of acoustic sound, raw emotion of voices and a collective energy. In this program, we move yard to yard in Jamaica, listening to acoustic music being written and recorded, smelling trees and flowers, and meeting legendary artists like Ken Boothe, Winston McAnuff, Cedric Myton of the Congos, Kiddus I, Robbie Lyn, Viceroys, or Nambo Robinson, as well as a number of young and emerging reggae artists like JAH9, Var, and Derajah, who grew up and found their artistic voices in ghetto yards. You've never heard Jamaica sound like this before! Produced by Elodie Malliot APWW #753

Jamaican TikTok GOES OFF on Americans Complaining About Room Services During Hurricane Melissa

Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm to hit the Caribbean in modern times, left a wake of destruction in Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti that will take years to recover from. A Jamaican climate physics professor describes the toll of this climate catastrophe, and a meteorologist joins us to explain how the storm grew so ferocious in the blink of a hurricane's eye.   Also, Gwich'in Alaska Natives, which consider the land of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge sacred and local Porcupine Caribou as relatives, are expressing alarm at how renewed prospects of drilling in this fragile environment could upend their world.  And the Pacific Northwest of the US harbored a serial killer hotspot of sorts in the 1970s, associated with the neurotoxin lead. Seattle-born author Caroline Fraser explores this link in her book Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers. She discusses how dangerously high lead exposure from smelters and gasoline may have led to the increase of violence and murders in the region. ---  Federal funding for public radio has ended.

Reverend Bill Devlin Braves Category 5 Hurricane Melissa in Kingston, Jamaica Guest: Reverend Bill Devlin Host John Batchelor interviews Reverend Bill Devlin, who is in Kingston, Jamaica, facing Hurricane Melissa, described as a rare Category 5 storm. Melissa is the strongest storm on the planet this year, featuring winds of 150 mph with expected gusts up to 175 mph. The hurricane is anticipated to make landfall on Jamaica's southern coast, passing through May Pen toward Montego Bay. Devlin is sheltering on a balcony overlooking Kingston, which is experiencing torrential rains and gale winds. Despite local catastrophic flooding, Kingston appears well-prepared, as the overwhelming majority of homes are concrete structures with secured, tiled roofs. Devlin reports no catastrophic damage in the city thus far. All three Jamaican airports closed starting Sunday night, October 26, 2025, with all flights canceled until Friday, October 31st. Melissa has already caused fatalities in Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. The guest expresses particular concern for the middle and rural regions of the island, which are still recovering from Hurricane Barrel, which struck over a year ago. 1900 TYPHOON ON GUAM
