Wading through the complex currents of Caribbean heritage, this episode serves as an audio compass guiding us through the shared experiences that unite the diaspora. Through the medium of podcasting, we unearth the common cultural threads—from migration patterns to the very words we speak—that bind us together, ensuring that our stories continue to thrive and reach new shores. We harmonize over the show's vision, the historical narratives infused with cultural revelations in segments like Strictly Facts Sounds, and share some of our favorite moments and episodes, revealing the profound impact of memorializing events like the Kendal Railway Tragedy for future generations. So tune in, as we celebrate Strictly Facts on the eve of Caribbean American Heritage Month and our love for Caribbean storytelling through podcasting.
