Beyond the Postcard of the Caribbean: Voices of Sint Maarten & Beyond

Épisode 18

mardi 9 juin 2026 • Durée 01:40:39

Some islands invite you to relax. This one invites you to discover.

In Part Two of their Caribbean series, Big Blend Radio's "Wanderers Compass" hosts Joelle Machia and Ryan Slough sit down with three extraordinary voices who have made Sint Maarten their home — each one a living thread in the cultural fabric of the Friendly Island.

Former and first Prime Minister and current President of Parliament Sarah Wescot-Williams shares her lifelong journey of public service and her deep passion for the island she has helped shape since its first days as a constituent country within the Dutch Kingdom.

May-Ling Chun, Director of Tourism, pulls back the curtain on Sint Maarten's bold new direction — from Carnival preservation and the St. Martin Flavors culinary platform to sustainable tourism and quality over quantity.

And in an unplanned but unforgettable conversation, five-decade resident, musician, composer, and entrepreneur Clarence Derby takes us inside the story of Arrow's global hit "Hot Hot Hot" — and shares why giving back will always matter more than the money. Stay tuned to the end for a special music clip from Clarence himself.
