We are joined by criminologist, researcher, and educator at the University of Belize, Dr. Aveka Mano, to hear about the impact of restorative practices on the lived realities behind complex issues like gang involvement, human trafficking, and youth reintegration, and its connection to higher education. Dr. Mano challenges traditional approaches to justice by emphasizing long-term reintegration over short-term punishment. She highlights how stigma, lack of opportunity, and systemic gaps often push individuals back into cycles of harm, and how restorative practices can interrupt that pattern. She asks us to consider what it would be like if we prepared individuals leaving institutional systems with the same intentionality we bring to higher education. Dr. Avekadavie Parasramsingh Mano is an assistant professor and distinguished researcher at the University of Belize within the Faculty of Management and Social Sciences. Trained at the University of the West Indies, she specializes in Criminology and Criminal Justice, with a focus on Belize's socio-legal landscape. Dr. Mano is widely recognized for her fieldwork on gang culture, human trafficking, and sex worker migration. Her scholarship engages with complex issues at the intersection of crime, human rights, and social inequality. Beyond academia, Dr. Mano collaborates with the Forensics Department, the Leadership Intervention Unit, and other organizations working with at-risk youth. Her work is grounded in a commitment to bridging theory and practice to advance sustainable approaches to crime prevention and community development in Belize. Tune in to discover Dr. Mano's roadmap for sustainable crime prevention rooted in early intervention, community collaboration, and restorative practices.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Museums don't just preserve history. They decide which stories become a nation's memory and which stories get buried under polite silence. I'm joined by Kevin Farmer, Deputy Director of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, to talk about Caribbean museums as real tools of nation building, cultural heritage, and post-independence identity. We start by tracing the roots of colonial museums and collections built to explain the Caribbean to Europe, often without listening to Indigenous knowledge or acknowledging the realities of slavery, resistance, and survival. From there, we move into the radical energy of the post-1960s period, when new scholars, artists, national galleries, and cultural movements helped reshape what counted as “our” history and “our” creativity across the region. Then we get practical about what museums still need to fix: whose voices were pushed aside, how co-curation and community collaboration can change exhibitions, and why documenting migration and labor history is urgent before firsthand accounts disappear. We also dig into decolonizing museums through provenance work and repatriation, and how technology can help connect Caribbean stories across borders and the diaspora. Kevin Farmer is currently Deputy Director of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society (BMHS). As Deputy Director of the Barbados Museum, he has the responsibility for museum exhibition programming and capital campaign fundraising. He holds a Master's degree in History (Heritage Studies) from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados, and has lectured in Archaeology at the Department of History at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and taught at the UWI Cave Hill in their MA Heritage Studies program. His research interests include the creation of cultural identity in post-colonial states, the role of museums in national development, the management and curation of archaeological resources, and the role of heritage in national development.

Everyone knows the American Revolution was won at Yorktown in 1781, when Cornwallis’s Army was trapped, but almost no one knows that victory depended on a Spanish intelligence operative who raised 500,000 pieces of silver in Havana in just 24 hours, convincing Cuban residents to liquidate their jewelry, gold ornaments, and diamonds to fund the French fleet's journey to trap Cornwallis. Francisco de Saavedra was Spain's ultimate shadow architect, operating like a CIA station chief or Charlie Wilson funneling weapons to topple Soviet Afghanistan, coordinating resources across the Caribbean through the Council of the Indies while gathering intelligence on British naval movements. The silver he raised, equivalent to roughly $1 billion in World War II war bond drives when adjusted for inflation, paid French sailors and provisioned Washington's Continental Army for the decisive siege. Without Saavedra's behind-the-scenes diplomacy, Spain and France would never have coordinated their fleets, and the Mississippi River supply line that smuggled Spanish gunpowder and uniforms to the rebels would have remained closed. Today's guest is James Giesler, author of Francisco De Saavedra's American Revolutionary War: The Spanish Contribution to the Battle of Yorktown. We discuss the unlikely career of Saavedra, an intelligence officer for the Spanish Crown who had such adventures as being capture by the British in 1780 and talked his way out of Jamaican captivity by pretending to be a civilian, why he forced joint Spanish action to capture Pensacola in May 1781 and eliminate the British southern strategy, how he negotiated a treaty for French and Spanish military planning for the first time, and why he planned the 1782 capture of the Bahamas to keep British ships tied up in the West Indies instead of reinforcing Cornwallis. Giesler explains that Saavedra wasn't a boots-on-the-ground commander like Lafayette but a strategic fixer who rose to become Spain's Prime Minister in the 1790s, proving that revolutions are won as much by financial wizardry and intelligence networks as by battlefield heroics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“‘You got to love your way through this' is more than a quote in this Detroit is Different conversation with Terry Campbell—it's the thread connecting a life built through Detroit legacy, Black migration, industry, policy, and purpose.” In this rich episode, Terry traces her family's journey from Alabama, Florida, the West Indies, and Windsor into five generations of Detroit life, reflecting on Black Bottom, Northwest Detroit, Cass, Henry Ford, and the neighborhood values that shaped her. She shares how growing up in an engineering-minded household led to a career at General Motors, where years of building management and leadership skills in Flint factories and the GM Tech Center taught her how systems work, how communities are affected, and why “at some point, it wasn't fun anymore” watching industry decline. That experience became a gateway to transformative public service—first helping lead Eastern Market, then stepping into U.S. Senate offices to advocate for urban agriculture, food justice, transit, infrastructure, and Detroit neighborhoods. With lines like “people are people” and “everybody's got to do their piece where they fit in,” Terry offers a masterclass in Legacy Black Culture, civic responsibility, and how Detroit wisdom can shape the future. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

On Feb. 23, 1776, John Adams offered resolutions in the Continental Congress with the intent of boosting domestic production of saltpeter, a main ingredient in gunpowder, and gunpowder mills. Domestic production never really took off during the war, only accounting for a small percentage of total gunpowder. Instead, the colonies imported or smuggled supplies in from the French and the West Indies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
