    • The First Moko Jumbie

      The First Moko Jumbie
      Sep 23 2025
      In this episode we explore the first written record of a Moko Jumbie - a stilt walker - in the Caribbean. Through the exploration of the record we cover the arrival of 3 Slave ships from 3 different parts of Africa, life of the Kalinago and Garifuna people as their land is slowly yet violently being taken away, African music and masquerade, and how 440 African children were separated from their families and sent to Saint Vincent.

    • Obeah, Murder, and Prostitution in the Post Emancipation Caribbean

      Obeah, Murder, and Prostitution in the Post Emancipation Caribbean
      May 16 2025

      In 1840's Saint Lucia the tides have turned for Black women on the island. Abandoning the plantations that enslaved them, they took to the streets as sex workers taking agency over their bodies. White priests ventured not into the depths of the countryside to indoctrinate the Christian faith, and so in the enclaves of the countryside, African spirituality prevails. Here we uncover an obsessive man who seeks the help of an Obeah man to conquer an infatuation, which leads to murder.


      Mid episode music by the people of Oleon, Deanery Saint Lucia, near Mabouya Valley
