Podcasts about Jamaicans

Felix and The Shark come on and we talk about Emiley Nutley, Lee becomes a victim of shoving and the Shark tells a story about the time he was brutally beaten by Jamaicans. Felix contributes nothing.

In this week's episode of Unfiltered, we start with what's become a regular topic—new developments in artificial intelligence and how it continues to shape society. We then move into a deeper discussion around recent reports suggesting that white people will become the minority in the UK within the next 40 years. Is this accurate, and more importantly, why is this narrative now being pushed so publicly? Could it be a tactic to stir fear or resentment among the UK's indigenous population? We also examine the long-standing divide between homegrown Jamaicans and those in the diaspora. Are people in the diaspora truly Jamaican, and do they have the right or cultural grounding to speak on Jamaican issues? This leads into a conversation about artist MDOTR, who claims to have been co-signed by Bounty Killer and Beenie Man. If true, does this not highlight how differently culture is viewed by those in Jamaica compared to those abroad? We get into all this and more.

In this episode Dale and Crooks speak about he things they can't stand. Serious although playful there are somethings that just give us the ick but we know it means no harm and it just different from we would do personally. The thing is with Jamaicans, a lot of things we would consider a pet peeve is normal behaviour for the average person.

The rising house prices across has affected peoples abilities to purchase homes in 2025. The ultimate goal is to purchase property and gain financial freedom. A lot of Jamaicans like to purchase property back home and decide to retire in Jamaica. This is becoming increasingly more difficult in certain areas. Listen to Dale and Crooks explain why.

The Penn Relays have officially begun at the University of Pennsylvania—my alma mater—and once again, the historic Franklin Field is alive with the spirit of one of the oldest and most prestigious track and field events in the Americas. Hosted annually by Penn Athletics, the Relays are more than just a sporting event—they are a cultural moment, especially for the Caribbean diaspora.You simply cannot mention the Penn Relays without mentioning Jamaica in the same breath. Jamaicans have long been dominant and enthusiastic participants, from high school standouts to collegiate champions. The relays serve as a proving ground for emerging talent and a showcase of track royalty.I remember one year when I had the privilege to volunteer at the games. It was a moment I'll never forget—I met the likes of Bill Cosby, the Hon. Portia Simpson Miller (Jamaica's first woman Prime Minister), and track legends such as Asafa Powell, Usain Bolt, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The electric atmosphere, the sound of cheering crowds, and the buzz around potential stars from across the U.S. and Caribbean left an indelible mark on me.Yet, something feels different this year. While the 2025 Penn Relays have kicked off with their usual modest energy, there's a noticeable lack of media coverage and buzz. Surprisingly, many locals in Philadelphia I spoke to either weren't aware the Penn Relays were happening or didn't know what the event was at all. This is a stark contrast to years past, when the city would buzz with anticipation and pride.Still, the Caribbean diaspora and college track athletes from around the country are already making their way to the city, bringing with them a growing excitement that's starting to creep in. Although mainstream media has yet to fully engage, the passion of the people remains. A quick keyword search or hashtag scroll for “Penn Relays 2025” yields only a handful of results—disappointing for such a historic event.We remain hopeful that as the week unfolds, coverage will swell and the attention this event deserves will return. In these turbulent and uncertain times, we need events like the Penn Relays. They offer catharsis and community—a moment to celebrate excellence, heritage, and unity.Between the NBA playoffs and the Penn Relays, there's a lot to look forward to this week. Stay tuned—The Neoliberal Round and our YouTube channel may bring you interviews, event highlights, and the heartbeat of the city and its athletes as the games progress.Until then,Renaldo C.

In conservations around Jamaicans distrust in the island's political system, there is the recurring theme of political corruption. So to understand the root of political corruption on the island, it seems to fit to look at the historic court case involving J.Z. Malcolm, who in 1952 became the first politician in Jamaica to be found guilty on fraud charges.

This week on High Society Radio, Chris Faga, Chris Stanley, and special guest KP Burke dive into NYC parking nightmares, Stolen IP and the ultimate soundboard battle. Plus, they get into Navy prison stories, leaked group chats, and why Jamaicans are obsessed with procreation.Topics This Episode:

in this episode we speak about the things we still do although we are living abroad. Things such as cooking, cleaning and sayings. Certain rituals that only Jamaicans will understand. Be sure to like comment and subscribe.

In this video, Dale Elliott speaks about the different types of Jamaicans living abroad and how we identify each other. The Jamaican diaspora is vast, with Jamaicans found all over the world. In this episode, we put our Jamaican knowledge to the test!

There are more Jamaicans living abroad than on the Island itself, a fact not lost on Courtney Cephas. As director of the National Healthcare Enhancement Foundation (NHEF), the philanthropic arm of Jamaica's Ministry of Health and Wellness, he wants to tap into this large and charitable community — referred to as the diaspora — to improve health care in Jamaica. In this episode of 20 Minute Health Talk, Cephas joins host Sandra Lindsay, RN, herself a member of the diaspora eager to give back, to discuss the NHEF's work, including its focus on building sustainable partnerships with organizations like Northwell Health, to address critical needs. Cephas and Lindsay detail two recent trips by Northwell clinical teams to the island, where they provided free surgeries for women suffering from uterine fibroids — one of several surgeries that have been backlogged since Covid-19, leaving hundreds desperate for a solution. These trips represent a powerful example of the diaspora's impact, bringing relief to patients while also strengthening Jamaica's healthcare system for the future. Hear how this unique collaboration is transforming lives and learn about the NHEF's work to create a healthier future for Jamaica. Future episodes will feature the inspiring personal stories of the women whose pain, resilience, and renewed hope embody the spirit of this initiative.

n this episode we speak briefly about the different superstitions Jamaicans have about ghosts, witchcraft and many more myths. The different religious beliefs that lead Jamaicans to believe in Ghosts and evil spirits. Whether we believe in these myths or not. Dale also speaks about how much of a menace was when growing up as a child in Jamaica.

in this video Dale Elliott speaks about he different types of Jamaicans located abroad and how we identify each other. The Jamaican diaspora is very big across the world with Jamaicans being located almost everywhere. In this episode we test our Jamaican!

Jamaica's Farming Boom: Is It Here to Stay?In this video, we explore the surprising rise in farming across Jamaica, with over 220,000 new farmers registering during the pandemic. Discover how job losses led many Jamaicans to turn to agriculture for survival, and how key crops like pineapples have thrived during this period. We dive into the benefits of registering as a farmer, the role of technology in modern farming, and the challenges that farmers face with theft and environmental issues. Join us as we discuss whether Jamaica's pandemic farming boom is a short-term trend or a lasting shift in the country's agricultural landscape.Chapter Markers00:00 - Introduction: Jamaica's Farming Boom01:41 - Job Losses and Farming: A Pandemic Shift02:47 - Top Crops in Jamaica: Pineapple & Beyond03:23 - How Farmers Choose What to Grow04:51 - The Importance of Soil Testing for Crops05:30 - Benefits of Registering as a Jamaican Farmer07:01 - Challenges of Farm Theft and Law Enforcement07:53 - The Role of Technology in Jamaican Farming09:17 - Organic vs. Commercial Farming: What's Best?10:15 - Combatting Crop Diseases in Jamaica11:12 - Why You Shouldn't Sneak Seeds into Jamaica12:25 - The Age Gap in Jamaican Farmers: Where Are the Youth?13:04 - Government Support and Funding for Farmers14:32 - How Farmers Can Access Export Markets16:07 - Finding the Best Crops Based on Location17:08 - Overcoming Jamaica's Trade Deficit Through Farming19:03 - Government Initiatives for Supporting Farmers20:18 - Organic Farming Certification Challenges22:23 - Addressing Environmental Impact in Farming25:02 - Supplying Hotels Directly: Farmer Challenges26:29 - Repurposing Agricultural Land in Jamaica28:12 - Encouraging Youth in Farming Through TechnologyMy Contacthttps://thropmedia.com/throp-xFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/throplife

Should Jamaica sever ties with China? China is investing heavily in Jamaica. In fact, many Jamaicans say that Jamaica now belongs to the Chinese due to massive investments in the road networks particularly the Highways and even the harbour and ports; Jamaica has the 7th largest harbor in the western hemisphere. In this episode we discuss with some Jamaicans the problem this may pose as Trump has demanded China to leave Jamaica. This situation is almost akin to the Russian situation where Ukraine was caught in the middle of a world order or international framework. Today Ukraine is fighting a war due to a decision they made to lie in bed with Russia's enemies. Now Jamaica is in bed with a #usa enemy or rival, China. What does this mean for the small island?

For generations, Jamaicans could walk across the road, onto their beaches and into the sea. Today, campaign group JaBBEM says locals can access less than one per cent of the island's beaches, where private landowners and foreign tourists rule. JaBBEM has joined with community members to take the government, private land owners and hotel companies to court over diminishing public beach access.

Bomani Jones gives us his Olympics recap by first discussing Noah Lyles following his Gold medal performance in the 100-meter race over the weekend. Bomani explains that Noah's age is the reason he acts the way he does, especially with comments he's made in the past about the NBA Championships not being the "World Championships." (0:35) We take a look at how close the finish of that race was and the beef thats currently happening between Jamaicans and Americans. (13:30) Then Bomani shifts things towards the world of boxing, more specifically the controversy between Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Italian boxer Angela Carini. He shares his thoughts on how the world and the internet have reacted to this issue. (20:55) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your voicemails questions are answered. (39:45) If You Haven't Heard contributors:  Stephanie H.

With nearly 50 years of experience coaching high-level athletes, including Olympic Silver Medalist Raven Saunders, you would be hard-pressed to find someone more knowledgeable than Coach Herbert Johnson. I'm incredibly grateful that he graced us with his presence to help me break down some of the marquee events of the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris!  We start things off with the Women's 100m. American Sha'Carri Richardson looks to cap off an incredible comeback story by bringing home the Gold. But, as always, the Jamaicans have something to say about that. We discuss the differences between Richardson and Shericka Jackson's skillsets plus the odds of sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to once again find the podium. The Men's 100m has its own USA-Jamaica rivalry. Noah Lyles is one of the most polarizing figures in the sport, but also one of the most talented. Can Jamaicans Kishane Thompson and Oblique Seville silence him? Or will Italy's Lamont Jacobs show the world once again why he's the reigning 100m Gold Medalist? Coach Johnson also talks about how the physiology of sprinters has changed over time.  Then, we move on to discussing the potential of world records falling. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's lowered her own 400m hurdle world record at the US Olympic Trials. Can she do it again? Or will Femke Bol prove that Sydney has more to compete against than just the clock? Also, Sweden's Mondo Duplantis is the king of the Pole Vault. Coach explains what makes him so great and what has to happen for him to once again set a world record.  We finish up with the Women's Shot Put! Coach Johnson discovered Raven Saunders as a high school freshman at Burke High School in Charleston, SC. As their coach, he helped guide Raven to the National High School record in the Shot Put. They have once again teamed up heading into this Olympic Games as they look to recreate that magic. Coach Johnson talks about why Raven is his favorite to bring home the Gold but also breaks down why the other athletes will make it a tall task. We also have a conversation about his coaching philosophy, including his years coaching me!

We meditate regularly. Eastern civilization is very spiritually advanced compared to Western civilization, and this is well documented. The whole yoga revolution, for instance, began when a bunch of East Indian practitioners brought their knowledge here. I strongly suggest that people not only take time out of their day but also make an effort to spend time with their breath, meditate, drown out the noise, and learn to be comfortable with their self-talk. Self-talk is a crucial aspect of this practice. There's your foreground and background conversation, and the conversation you're having with yourself is essentially the conversation you're having with the universe. Thoughts On Breathing Buteyko is a Russian scientist who developed a breathing method. You can find more about it online; it's been really helpful for me. Additionally, there are various frequency breath training techniques involving specific durations for holding, inhaling, and exhaling. Bullying Story Growing up, my father passed away, leaving my mom to run our restaurant on Bloor and Lansdowne. She was a great cook, but not a businessperson. I spent my early years in Regent Park until age 10, then moved to Jane and Finch. My mom hoped for less racism, but we faced new challenges. In Regent Park, I dealt with rockers and skinheads, and in Jane and Finch, it was a mix of Mexicans, Jamaicans, and other ethnicities. I encountered racism, being called names like “Paki” and “curry eater.” I didn't engage aggressively; instead, I'd ask, “Why are you doing this?” However, in Jane and Finch, I sometimes had to fight back for my belongings. I believe facing adversity is essential for growth. My kids, aged 15, 17, and 19, have never been in a fight, which I find hard to relate to. When I was younger, making plans involved uncertainty, unlike today's instant communication. My son shows me how his classmates share their locations with him, thinking it's an achievement. While each generation faces different challenges, I believe that experiencing breakdowns can lead to breakthroughs. Building mental toughness is crucial, and while inclusivity is important, it should not compromise genuine personal growth.

On this week's Ask Me Anything Episode, we are answering Chloe's and Danika's questions. Chloes says, “I have a friend who is not sure what to believe. I want to persuade them to turn to God but I'm not really sure how to do it without sounding like I'm forcing them. Danika says, “I have a question… I know this girl that is an atheist and she brought up a situation that made her question if the Lord is real. My question it was I sent to help her to turn to the Lord? And if so, how do I help her without pushing her?"Know that no two people are the same, every conversation is going to look different and that's okay! With what we're going to talk about today, hopefully, you will be ready to crush those comfort zones and step into your God-given purpose as you share the Good News of Jesus with those around you. Okay, so how do you even have a conversation with someone, especially a friend or a family member, to know if they are even open to hearing the Good News.  Again, no two people are the same—no two conversations are the same. Jesus healed some, He taught others, and to some gave a Word of Knowledge. 2 Types of Witnessing (Sharing Jesus)Confrontational-(I don't suggest this with your friends or family members.) This is really for people who you see once, and you will most likely never see them again. For example, I'm going to Jamaica in a couple weeks to be sharing the Good News of Jesus with Jamaicans. This is the approach we will be using because chances are we will never see these people gain. Relational. You want to build a relationship with these people before you jump in to asking them about Jesus. This approach is all about making a connection with them. You connect with them, you listen to them, you care about them, you earn their trust. Wait a while before you bring up the topic of Jesus. Get to know them by asking questions. Never underestimate the power of conversations!  CARE: Connect, Ask Questions, Relate, EncourageConnect with  them. "Hey, how are you doing?" and stop and really listen to how they are doing!Ask questThe Beautiful Movement's Summer Box is now available for pre-sale!

Jamaica's birth rate has been plummeting over the past two decades, leaving experts concerned about the country's demographic future. In our upcoming episode, we delve into the reasons behind this dramatic decline, shedding light on the factors contributing to Jamaicans' reluctance to have children. Drawing from the Jamaica Population Health Status Report 2000–2022, we uncover the economic, social, and cultural challenges that make parenthood increasingly expensive and inconvenient for many Jamaicans. From the financial burdens of raising children to the shifting dynamics of family structures, we examine the common misconceptions about pregnancy and explore why having children has become a daunting prospect for many individuals in Jamaica. Join us as we navigate this pressing issue and seek to understand the implications of Jamaica's declining birth rate.

Devon Harris is an original member of the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team and captain of the 1992 and 1998 teams. He's a 3-time Olympian, and he achieved something that he could only have dreamed of having been brought up in Kingston, Jamaica. And yes, Devon and his teammates were the inspiration for the movie Cool Runnings, which if you're like me, you probably grew up watching on loop over and over and over again. We talk about that a little bit in today's conversation. Most of today's conversation is about Devon's perspective on the culture in Jamaica and how that leads to great performers and great athletes. We talk about Devon's own perspective and how he had naivete, and his teammates probably had naivete, to achieve something that they could have only dreamt of where they were going to compete in the Olympics. He is someone who is philosophical, he is thoughtful, and he has a military background which he's going to share greatly served him and helped him when it came time for the Olympics. And so, this is conversation that gets deep into themes like confidence and themes like greatness. Devon is a motivational speaker, he thinks deeply and thinks in ways that might be new to you and I think will be helpful to you. Devon had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “There is nothing glamorous about a bobsled” (5:35). “Other people have done it before so I should be able to figure out how to do it” (6:00). “If I die, I die. But I'm going” (7:25). “Every time we set out to do something amazing, great, different, there is a certain amount of fear with it” (7:40). “Courage is being scared to death but doing the thing anyway” (8:15). “I could not allow that fear to stop me, so I went for it” (9:05). “Anyone who has achieved something great and out of the box experiences some level of delusion” (13:15). “There's a certain level of delusion, but it's founded on the experience and the knowledge and the work that you did before” (14:55). “You can always learn new skills” (16:10). “You have to be willing to acknowledge that you don't know so you can learn” (17:50). “We [Jamaicans] feed off the success of our compatriots” (23:20). “There's a kind of defiance that's embedded in us as Jamaicans” (26:25). “No task is too difficult; no obstacle is too great” (29:35). “It was the army experience that I relied on to get through those early days” (31:50). “Adversity allows you to grow. Adversity allows you to be inventive and be creative” (35:05). “Once you learn to deal with adversity in one area of your life, it translates into another area” (35:50). “I never could have imagined, coming from where I'm coming from, that you could have a movie made about a part of my life” (42:35). “I don't know if they really captured the hardships we experienced trying to get to the Olympic games” (44:05). Additionally, you can find everything you need to know about Devon on his website. You can also find the link to his foundation, Keep on Pushing, here. Thank you so much to Devon for coming on the podcast! I wrote a book called “Shift Your Mind” that was released in October of 2020, and you can order it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

During the post war decades, migration from Britain's colonies in the Caribbean to the UK grew considerably. There are well documented 'pull' factors that led to this, including a deep sense of identification that many Jamaicans, Barbadians and others felt for the 'mother country'. However, long term structural economic hardships, the effects of a devastating hurricane in 1944 and the lack of any real prospect of migration to America after 1952 created powerful 'push' factors towards Britain.This episode of the Explaining History podcast explores these issues through Eddie Chambers' excellent cultural history of Black Britain, Roots and Culture Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.
