    Is Barbados Ready for Electric Vehicles?

    Electric vehicles are no longer a distant idea in Barbados. More people are seeing them on the road, hearing the debate, and asking the same question: are we really ready for this shift? In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, Mikul Elcock and Fabian Belgrave dig into the promise and the practical reality of EV adoption in Barbados. Beyond the hype, what does it actually mean to own, maintain, charge, insure, and respond to electric vehicles in a small island developing state? They’re joined by three guests with very different but equally important perspectives: Christopher McFarlane of Megapower Ltd, bringing insight into the energy and infrastructure side of the conversation. Alexander Barker, an EV Technician, speaking to the technical realities of servicing and maintaining electric vehicles. Marlon Small, Divisional Officer of the Barbados Fire Service, offering a critical emergency response and safety perspective. Together, they unpack some of the biggest questions around EV readiness in Barbados:  Is the charging infrastructure where it needs to be?  Are EVs really affordable when you look beyond the sticker price?  Do we have the technical skills and systems in place to support long-term growth?  How prepared are emergency services to deal with EV-related incidents?  And are Barbadians fully buying into the transition, or still watching from the sidelines? This is a grounded conversation about innovation, policy, safety, cost, and what it will take for Barbados to move confidently into a more electric future. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube (@thebgis).

  • Why Philanthropy [STILL] Isn’t the Answer with  (with Anand Giridharadas)

    Why Philanthropy [STILL] Isn’t the Answer with (with Anand Giridharadas)

    Billionaires are shaping everything from elections to education to climate policy—and they want us to believe it's generosity. That’s why we’re re-airing this conversation with Anand Giridharadas, author of Winners Take All, on the power of elite philanthropy—and why it can’t fix the inequality it helps sustain. Giridharadas breaks down how modern philanthropy allows the ultra-wealthy to “give back” on their own terms, while avoiding the kinds of structural changes—like higher taxes, stronger labor standards, and real regulation—that would actually redistribute power and opportunity. Yes, philanthropy can do good. But it can also function as a pressure valve—easing public outrage while leaving the underlying system intact. If you’ve been following the surge in billionaire political spending, debates over wealth taxes, or the outsized influence of private foundations, this conversation will hit differently now, Because the real question isn’t whether the rich should give more. It’s why they get to decide in the first place. Anand Giridharadas is a writer and political analyst focused on inequality, power, and democracy. He is the author of multiple books, including the national bestseller Winners Take All and The Persuaders. Giridharadas is an editor-at-large for TIME, an on-air analyst for MSNBC, and the publisher of the newsletter The.Ink, where he writes about politics, money, and power. He is also a visiting scholar at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University. Listen to Eric Beinhocker discuss Market Humanism on Hal Singer’s podcast The Slingshot.

    Menopause | Breaking the Silence, Talking Truths

    Menopause is something many women are expected to endure quietly — but that silence comes at a cost. In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, we open up an honest, informed conversation about menopause and the many ways it affects women’s lives. From hot flashes and sleep disruption to mood changes, mental health struggles, intimacy, and workplace challenges, this discussion goes beyond the usual surface-level talk. This episode explores what menopause really is, why so many women enter this stage without clear information or support, and how myths and stigma continue to shape the experience. It also looks at the importance of balanced medical guidance, better support systems, and treating menopause as more than just a private issue. Joining the conversation are: Dr. Sandra Bynoe — OBGYN and menopause specialist, Dr. Roberta Corona — OBGYN and menopause specialist, BioConnect Deidre Wood — Nutritionist Together, they help break down the facts, challenge the myths, and push for a more open, supportive conversation around menopause. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube (@thebgis).

    The Boomcession: Booming on Paper. Brutal in Real Life. (with Matt Stoller)

    What happens when the economic data says one thing, but people’s lives say another? This week, Nick and Goldy talk to Matt Stoller about what he calls a “Boomcession”—the disconnect between headline economic indicators and how the economy actually feels for most people. They go straight at the disconnect: why the numbers say everything’s fine… and people say otherwise. If the economy is supposed to work for people, why do so many people feel like it isn’t? Matt Stoller is the research director at the American Economic Liberties Project and author of Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy. He writes the Substack newsletter BIG, focused on monopoly power, corporate concentration, and political economy.

    Caring Beyond the Clinic: Tackling Non-Communicable Diseases in Our Communities

    Non-communicable diseases continue to affect families and communities across Barbados in a very real way. But tackling NCDs takes more than check-ups and prescriptions — it takes awareness, support, and a deeper understanding of how these conditions shape everyday life. In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, hosts Shayla Murrell and Fabian Belgrave sit down with three guests who each bring a different perspective to the conversation around prevention, advocacy, and community care. Joining them are: Krystal Bowen — communications specialist, cervical cancer and HPV awareness advocate, and founder of @miss_penny246, a platform created in memory of her mother. Trudy Nicole Griffith — registered pharmacist, clinical pharmacist, and former President of the Diabetes and Hypertension Association of Barbados. Antoine Williams — marketing consultant, communications trainer, and community engagement facilitator. Together, they explore how education, storytelling, advocacy, and stronger community support can help shift the fight against NCDs beyond the clinic and into everyday life. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube (@thebgis).

    If AI Gets Hired, America Can Handle It

    Switchboard operators. Typists. Secretaries. Lots of factory workers. The economy has a long history of technology slowly eliminating not just jobs but entire occupations. The U.S. also has a long history of not doing a lot to help those thrown out of work by major economic shifts. Economist Kathryn Anne Edwards, who literally wrote her dissertation on unemployment insurance (her professional assessment: "it sucks"), makes the case for a wholesale rebuild that triages joblessness, distinguishing between those who need time to job hunt and those who need to pivot to a new career.  Donate to keep Optimist Economy going: https://optimisteconomy.com Video clips are on the Optimist Economy YouTube channel⁠⁠.
