Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Celebrate the holidays with us with a throwback episode as we open a window onto a season where streets become stages, kitchens turn into archives, and every drumbeat and carol carries a story. From the clatter of cowbells in Nassau to the smoky crackle of a roast pig on Christmas Eve, the region's holidays reveal how history lives in sound, taste, and togetherness. We start with the pulse of festival culture: Junkanoo's lavish costumes and goatskin drums marching down Bay Street in the Bahamas, and the Boxing Day launches in the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis, Belize, and Montserrat. Each celebration stitches heritage to the present—months of planning, bursts of creativity, and a shared promise to meet at dawn. Then we head to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where Nine Mornings wakes neighborhoods at 4 a.m. with concerts and games, culminating in a joyful jump up that proves community thrives when people gather before sunrise.Our journey continues into homes and churches. In Suriname, Godo Pa—Dearest Daddy—arrives on December 6 with gifts and poems, a post-independence figure who replaces Old World icons with a reflection of local identity. Across the Spanish Caribbean, Noche Buena brings families to the table for lechón, yuca, and music that lasts late into Christmas Eve, while Three Kings Day keeps the season open into January as children leave grass and water for the camels and wake to gifts beneath the bed. These customs hold the region's layered past while nurturing the joy that keeps people close. No Caribbean holiday is complete without music. Parang bands roam neighborhoods in Grenada, and parang-soca lights up Trinidad and Tobago with door-to-door harmonies. We share favorites—from Scrunter's Christmas classics and Bindley B's celebratory anthems to Carlene Davis's reggae carols—curating a playlist that can transform a winter commute into a warm-weather fête. By the end, you'll hear how a festival becomes a bridge, how a song becomes a keepsake, and how a meal becomes a map back home.Press play, share your family tradition, and tell us the holiday song you return to every year.

Lindsay Shiver, the former Alabama beauty queen accused of plotting to murder her estranged husband Robert Shiver, has filed a new petition with the Nassau Supreme Court in the Bahamas. Her request: remove the GPS ankle monitor she's been wearing for over two years while awaiting trial on conspiracy to commit murder charges. Her reasoning? The ankle monitor is "embarrassing." It causes bruises and disrupts her sleep. It traumatizes her three children. It can't get wet, so she can't go to the beach or take her kids swimming. And most notably — she claims she has job offers for modeling and influencer work that she can't accept while wearing the device. Lindsay Shiver was arrested in July 2023 alongside her alleged lover Terrence Bethel and suspected hitman Faron Newbold Jr. after Bahamian police discovered WhatsApp messages allegedly showing a photo of Robert Shiver with the words "kill him." Prosecutors say the messages reveal a murder-for-hire plot against her husband, a former Auburn football player and ex-NFL long snapper for the Atlanta Falcons. All three defendants have pleaded not guilty. This video covers the full history of the Lindsay Shiver case, including her original arrest, her release on $100,000 bail, the strict conditions of her release including the ankle monitor and travel restrictions, and how she violated those conditions by appearing on Good Morning America and Inside Edition in October 2024 — which resulted in the judge revoking her bail and sending her back to Fox Hill Prison in Nassau for four months. The video also examines what this latest ankle monitor removal request reveals about Lindsay Shiver's apparent disconnect from reality, her pattern of prioritizing attention over compliance, and how her actions continue to shape public perception of her case. With the hearing on her petition set for December 8, 2025 and her trial now scheduled for March 2026 after four delays, the case is entering a critical phase. #LindsayShiver #LindsayShiverCase #LindsayShiverUpdate #LindsayShiverTrial #LindsayShiverBahamas #RobertShiver #TrueCrime #TrueCrime2025 #MurderForHire #BahamasMurderPlot #AnkleMonitor #CrimeNews #CourtNews #TrueCrimeCommunity #CriminalCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ahoy! Here’s a little bonus treasure from our episode, Audacious at Sea: Wisdom from Strangers on a Cruise Ship. Chion spends a blissful vacation week aboard the MSC Meraviglia with about 5,000 fellow humans, sailing from Brooklyn to the Bahamas and back. And because we couldn’t fit everyone she talks with into the on-air version, this bonus gives you even more of their voices and stories. Somewhere in between sunrise coffees and late-night pizza buffets, Chion asks passengers - and a few locals in Nassau, Bahamas - to share their favorite piece of life advice. That opens the door to conversations that go way beyond advice, and into the values that people have carried with them much of their lives. GUESTS: Latisha from the Bronx Vincent Ferrito and Lauren Englemann from Brooklyn, NY Brittney and Jeana Lockhart from New Bedford, MA Henry Armbrister, Barbara Williams, Dellie Maycock, and Giovanni Ferguson from Nassau, Bahamas Support the show: https://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A wise woman once said, “You can tell the ocean anything, but it has to be the truth.“ Chion Wolf boards the MSC Meraviglia expecting a week of small talk and sunscreen. But the farther she gets from land, the more people become willing to hang out in the deep end to talk about love, loss, faith, sobriety and stories they’ve been holding onto for years. When they speak, the ocean listens. And in this hour, so do you.

"May 21. Sabbath—Held a meeting at a public house, (Mr. B's,) four or five miles from this village. When I arrived, the rooms were filled—doors and windows thronged. Those who seemed the most anxious, had placed themselves near the seat of the speaker. When I named the psalm, all was silence, except the sighs and sobs of anxious souls. The moment I began to speak, I felt that God was there.

This week we go into the dark heart of American Gestapo: Gregory Bovino's Border Patrol, which pushes ICE to become even more aggressive in his fascist feverdream.  Here to help us make sense of this hellscape is Nick Schwellenbach, a Senior Investigator at the Project on Government Oversight and former Communications Director at the U.S. Office of Special Counsel–a government agency set up after Watergate, meant to protect us from the next Nixon–more on that in this week's bonus show out Thursday.  Bovino grew up a Border Patrol fanboy idolizing fascist fiction and now stalks American cities in a Nazi-style trench coat with a taxpayer-funded film crew glamorizing his violent raids. Like Trump is a showman, Bovino is cruelty as a recruitment tool to consolidate power. Under his un-checked leadership, his border patrol army operates deep inside the U.S., smashing car windows, kidnapping U.S. citizens, and rounding up tens of thousands of people, including veterans and children, into detention centers where deaths are spiking at unprecedented rates.  With the help of questions submitted by a Gaslit Nation listener (thank you, Isabel!) we go into all the pressing questions about Bovino's Border Patrol and also ICE, including what happened to the children who disappeared under Trump's first term and what can be done to protect vulnerable immigrants today? As you listen to this episode, which opens with a clip of Bovino justifying shooting protesters with pepper balls, keep in mind Republicans gave ICE, which works closely with Bovino's Border Patrol, $75 billion over the next four years. They're also operating under aggressive weekly quotas. But is their war chest also for general population control?  For our bonus episode this week, we look at the safeguards that could have prevented Trump's return and why they didn't.

We are extremely grateful to our listeners who are keeping us afloat during a very difficult economic time.

Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible.  Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing "cute" responses to Plaintiffs' counsel's questions or outright lying."

On this Tuesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers the transition plans of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, who has recruited 400 New Yorkers to advise on policy and appointments, emphasizing new ideas and addressing stagnant governance. There is a focus on key areas such as housing, transportation, and public safety, as well as new committees on worker justice and community organizing. Nassau County's measures to maintain safety and criticism of New York State policies are highlighted thanks to County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Additionally, a federal judge ruled that charges against James Comey and Letitia James were dismissed due to the illegal appointment of the prosecutor.

Would You Like To Buy A Bahama? The Bahamas is an archipelago-nation of 400,000 people scattered across 3,000 small islands. The Bahamas' most populous island is the one with its capital, Nassau. The second-most-populous - and fifth-largest, and most-pretentiously-named - is Grand Bahama, home of Freeport, the archipelago's second city. Grand Bahama has a unique history. In 1955, it was barely inhabited, with only 500 people scattered across a few villages. The British colonial government turned it into a charter city, awarding the charter to Wallace Groves, an American whose Wikipedia article describes him as a "financier and fraudster" and includes section titles like "Suspicions", "Legal Troubles", "Investigations", and "Allegations Of Underworld Connections". He was . . . maybe the exact right person for the job, turning Grand Bahama into a Vegas of the Caribbean complete with casinos, jet-setters, swanky hotels, and a flourishing mob presence. Outside the glitzy center, a little heavy industry even managed to develop around the port. After twenty years, the charter zone was "the most modern, well-run, and prosperous part of the [Bahamas]", and the population had increased to 15,000. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/model-city-monday-102725
