We sit down with Stick Mareebo to chat about how reggae found its way to Australia. From backyard jams to full-on festival stages, we talk about the scene’s growth, the artists making noise, and what reggae really means in an Aussie context. Is it staying true to the roots or becoming its own thing?

In this episode, the discussion is about the pricing dynamics of iconic reggae artists like Buju Banton and Beres Hammond, examining how their fees reflect their legendary status and impact on the genre. More specifically, how it differs in Europe. We explore the broader reggae music industry in Europe, highlighting how European promoters and festival organisers value Jamaican talent. The conversation also touches on the structure and appeal of European reggae festivals, the role of cultural appreciation versus commercial gain, and the challenges and opportunities for reggae artists navigating international markets.

In this one, we talked about pressing issues facing Jamaica and the wider world, from rising crime and corruption to economic inequality, climate change, and youth disillusionment. We explore the root causes, systemic failures, and social consequences of these challenges while highlighting the growing frustration among everyday citizens.

As the conversation unfolds, we make a call to action for celebrities, influencers, and public figures to step up. With their platforms and reach, they have the power to spark awareness, fund initiatives, and influence policy change. This episode urges them to go beyond performance activism and become real agents of change, not just for headlines, but for the future.

Every Jamaican child has heard growing up from stern warnings like “If yuh cyaan hear, yuh will feel” to gems like “Go look wuk!” We explore the deeper meanings behind these sayings, their cultural roots, and how they shape discipline, ambition, and identity. The conversation then shifts to the evolving idea of The Jamaican Dream, what success means in the island context, how it has changed over generations, and the tension between staying local or going abroad to “make it.”
