90 Seconds into Oblivion - The Mount Pelée Eruption in Martinique

jeudi 19 février 2026 • Durée 22:27

In this episode, we dive into the devastating 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée on the Caribbean island of Martinique—a disaster that obliterated the thriving city of Saint-Pierre in minutes. Through eyewitness accounts and historical insight, we explore how warning signs were missed, how a deadly pyroclastic surge changed volcanic science forever, and why this eruption remains one of the most catastrophic in recorded history.

Obeah, Murder, and Prostitution in the Post Emancipation Caribbean

vendredi 16 mai 2025 • Durée 32:12

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
