    THE RETURN: Meh-morial Weekend

    In our last episode, SocaSaySo made some predictions of what could go wrong over the biggest party weekend in the States. Well, she couldn’t have predicted this. After being cancelled for the past two years, masqueraders were excited to get back to outside! Unfortunately, outside was not ready for them. DysChick rants with guest host Ms. Jouvert (@MsJouvert) about the catastrophe that was Atlanta Carnival and why she says the city will have to work hard to earn back the public’s trust after what happened. Then we RAVE to “Can’t Stay Away” by Grenadian soca artiste Jab King. I guess Ms. Jouvert is right. Even when things go wrong, soca is a lifestyle and we can’t stay away!

  3. THE RETURN: Politics over People

    THE RETURN: Politics over People

    2022 kicked off H1 with a bang! That’s an unfortunate pun, but given that the United States has had more mass shootings than there are days in the year, it’s appropriate. The US has a serious gun problem yet it seems that the violence has not shaken lawmakers who seem more interested in political power than changing policies. The only policy they are considering changing is the one protecting women’s reproductive rights. DysChick and SocaSaySo get unfiltered and RANT about whether or not the government will stop putting politics over people. Then we RAVE to “High Mas” by calypso legend David Rudder. We could all use some good vibrations as we head into Memorial Weekend.

    THE RETURN: Jamila the Host

    Did you know that our very own SocaSaySo does more than highlight the artist and soca tunes you need to know? She’s also an event host. In this episode, she RANTs about how she got started, why she loves it, and what sets her apart from those other hosts who don’t even do costume changes?! Then we RAVE to “Don’t Stop Carnival” by Olatunji, a Trinidadian soca artiste who will be performing at this summer’s International African Arts festival being hosted by (you guessed it) Jamila! Tickets available on Eventbrite.

    THE RETURN: DysChick’s Adventures

    We’re back! In this episode we talk about the return to travel now that COVID mandates are being reconsidered.

After 2 years of not getting on a plane, DysChick returns from her vacation to tell us all about what it was like to travel with the new COVID mandates both domestically and internationally. Find out why she says she has a hard time going on vacation and what she plans to do next. Then we RAVE to “Road Trip” by Machel Montano.

  7. THE RETURN: The 80s

    THE RETURN: The 80s

    Who didn’t love the eighties? Big hair. Crazy fashion. Madonna and Run D.M.C. on the airwaves. It was a magical time. Well, it was also a time of high crime, unemployment, a health epidemic, and due to the Cold War, tension between the US and Russia. Seems a lot like the 2020s, huh? In this episode, DysChick and SocaSaySo RANT about the surreal return to the past. Then we RAVE to “Rebecca” by Super Blue, which won Road March in Trinidad in 1983.

    11/04/2022

    THE RETURN: Drunk Rant

    THE RETURN: Drunk Rant That’s right. It’s the return of the Drunk Rant! DysChick and SocaSaySo have an unfiltered RANT about the latest headlines: the Black Lives Matter controversy, the Grammy being awarded to US-based reggae band we don’t listen to, and the confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Then we RAVE to “Tusty” by the late, great Blaxx whose homegoing ceremony was fit for a soca legend. #Ad: Launch your website or get customized home office support from Black-owned business Andrews Technology Group.
