  • Episode 180 | "Handy Man"
    Apr 16 2024

    In this week's episode we celebrate the 102nd Birthday of The Grandmaster, Lord Kitchener.
    We revisit Jamaica Carnival as they're reported to have hit their highest revenues ever but it's less than 1/3 the revenues of the carnival it's supposed to be taking over.
    While that debate rages on, some reggae legends sold out a show over the weekend while the reggae all stars reunited to put out a call for peace among the youths.
    No peace to be found in Massy as Mrs. Parisot-Potter's claims have been more or less dismissed and it's claimed that she asked for a $100m golden parachute.
    The TTPS is undergoing Ai training and we look into how well they've embraced and used technology to this point - or not.
    On a more serious note we discuss mental health among men as we saw a soldier allegedly attempt suicide by stepping out in front a moving bus . T&T is being reported as having a higher suicide rate among men than the global average so we have some suggestions on little things we can do to uplift our men.
    We salute the young legends Certified Sampson and Kyle Mark & Jr. Lee as they build their brands as social media comedians and bring some levity to the nation.
    Of course we threw in more than a sprinkle of the some of the sweetest songs from Lord Kitchener over the years.
    Enjoy!

    The saga of the SSA continues as Fitzgerald Hinds seems to be finding out about the goings on in the papers just like me and you. Does the name Reshmi Ramnarine ring a bell? Well we've been here before with the SSA and the powers that be seem to always be shocked by what's happening at this institution.
    We take a minute to celebrate the legacy of the great Gervase Warner as the reports are in on the Parisot Potter raised concerns but we shouldn't allow that to totally eclipse his contribution to the country.
    The RIC is recommending a whopping 130% increase in light bills by 2028 so we brace ourselves.
    We close off the episode by joining the great Sherwin Gardener in hitting 1 Billion streams of his hit song Find Me Here pretty much silencing the notion that Trinibad is the only route to success in entertainment.
    Hope you Enjoy!!
