Send us a textCorie dedicates this episode to the late matriarch “Mama Doreen,” whose Girl Guides guard-of-honour in a packed Tacarigua church sparked a bigger conversation: the crisis of community and how strong institutions can pull Trinidad & Tobago back from its apparent moral decline. Anchored by memories from the funeral and repass—hymns, kaiso, and hard truths—Corie argues that movements like Girl Guides, Brownies, Scouts, Cadets, school bands, and the Police Band don't just “nice up” events; they form citizens, bridge generations, and repair trust between youth and the State.We salute bandmaster Anthony “Mr” Prospect and explore what Independence parades actually mean, why cancelling them matters, and how pageantry signals “we are us.” We touch this year's National Awards, asking how we value cultural workers next to sport and politics. In the music lane: Leon “Smooth” Edwards' iconic Panorama moments; why brass belongs in our sound; and a canon defence of Shorty—“Endless Vibrations,” “Om Shanti,” and the unfinished business of credit. There's a lively detour into Scorch's 101 soca list—criteria, crowd reaction vs cultural impact—and a real-life car-ride debate about youth music vs parents' music. We also reason through police-in-schools optics, state-of-emergency fatigue, and how uniformed performance (yes, send the Police Band into communities playing the youths' songs) can soften hardened lines.It's gratitude, history, and kaiso—offered for Mama, inspired by the Girl Guides, and focused on rebuilding the institutions that can steady a wobbling society.

TODAY'S TREASURENow faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Hebrews 11:1-3Send us a comment!Support the show
PWTorch editor Wade Keller is joined by PWTorch's Chris Adams to review WWE Smackdown including ideas for what could be next for Sami Zayn after winning the U.S. Title and is a WrestleMania World Title match in his future next year? Then a scathing rant by Wade backed by Chris and the chat about John Cena's obvious counter-productive self-centered corporate-centered unrelatable core to his character these days and how just about everything he says that sounds on the surface to be gracious is just self-serving. They also talk some Drew McIntyre-Randy Orton.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-shows--3275545/support.
