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.

On the phone-in: Gardening expert Niki Jabbour answers listeners' questions. And off the top of the show, we speak with Josh Oulton from Taproot Farms in Port Williams, NS.

We also hear from Kris Vascotto about some research published earlier this week about microplastics in lobster meat
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
Jackie recently published her memoir, ‘We Made It, Kid', described as “compelling, heartfelt and inspiring”. The book certainly has a lot to cover: from Jackie being born to an Irish mother and Jamaican father in the UK, then being placed in an industrial school as a baby by a priest for being an "illegitimate" and so much more besides. Jackie joined Alan Morrissey on Thursday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) Jackie McCarthy O'Brien

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.

Trump and his Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino have scored a RAPID VICTORY over the unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior district court Judge Sarah Ellis, WHO WAS BORN IN CANADA TO JAMAICAN PARENTS.Judge Ellis had compelled Bovino to appear in person before her in court yesterday, where she spen the entire appearance with Bovino in the witness stand and being chastised as if he were a child over unsubstantiated claims that he or his men had somehow violated Ellis' TRO that had sought to greatly constrain and micromanage Border Patrol operations in the Chicago area. She also ordered that Bovino continue to appear before her in court every day moving forward, to explain to her what he did that days. The Trump administration filed an immediate appeal with the 7th Circuit following that hearing, and have now quickly received an order staying the most obtrusive portions of Ellis' order, and taking under consideration a rarely seen "order of mandamus" against Judge Ellis.

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

Hurricane Melissa is set to pummel Jamaica as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, the strongest to lash Jamaica since recordkeeping began 174 years ago. Forecasters said the storm is expected to make landfall early Tuesday and slice diagonally across the island, entering near St. Elizabeth parish in the south and exiting around St. Ann parish in the north. Hours before the storm, the government said it had done all it could to prepare as it warned of catastrophic damage. Prime Minister Andrew Holness said, “There is no infrastructure in the region that can withstand a Category 5. The question now is the speed of recovery. That's the challenge.” In this episode, we speak with Tuff Like Iron, a reggae artist from Kingston, Jamaica and is currently visiting California.

“When I crossed that finish line and ripped my shirt off, I was like, ‘Yeah!' That was one of my best moments… It was a dream come true, something that I've been wanting for years. I've dreamt about that moment and I finally got that moment!”Our guest today is Oblique Seville — the new 100-meter world champion and the man who brought Jamaica back to the top of men's sprinting. On a humid night in Tokyo in September, Seville ran 9.77 to win his first global title, the fastest championship final in six years, and the first for a Jamaican man since Usain Bolt. It was a performance years in the making and the fulfillment of potential we'd seen flashes of since he was 21 and running 9.86 for fourth place at the World Championships.In past championships, it was always something — an injury here, a tight groin there, or a perfect semifinal that came one race too soon. But this year was different with two big Diamond League wins, a healthy buildup and a conviction that his time had come. He said in the mixed zone: ‘This is my year. I'm going to take this moment and no one is going to take it away from me.'In this episode, we talk about how he finally made it happen — the lessons learned from setbacks, the mentorship of coach Glen Mills, and what it means to carry Jamaica's legacy forward after Bolt.Oblique Seville isn't loud, and he doesn't need to be. His running does all the talking. Without further ado, please welcome – the world's fastest man.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Oblique Seville | @obliqueseville on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

Sonny Roberts, a Jamaican carpenter, arrived in Britain in the 1950s. It was a time of racial disharmony, including the Notting Hill riots and the murder of Kelso Cochrane. In this tense atmosphere, black musicians struggled to make a name for themselves. Then in 1961, Roberts set up the UK's first black-owned music studio, Planetone, in a basement in Kilburn. The studio gave the Caribbean community a musical platform. In later years, Roberts produced Nigerian band Nkengas' album, Destruction - one of the earliest examples of Afrobeat in the UK. His 1987 production of Judy Boucher's Can't Be with You Tonight reached number two in the UK Singles Chart, beaten only by Madonna. Roberts laid the foundations for black British music.
