    On this episode: This week the crew kicks things off with sports talk, weekend stories, salsa nights, then gets into what’s happening locally & abroad. We also shine a light on Cayman’s creative community with a deep dive into Underground Sessions — an open mic platform that’s become a real hub for local talent: poets, singers, rappers, instrumentalists, comedians, and more. The conversation covers how it started, why it matters, & how it’s creating space for original art to grow. The crew pivots to sports & youth development with a feature on Stingray Swim Club, one of Cayman’s OG swim clubs. Coach John breaks down what it takes to compete, how training is structured (yes… 5AM practices), the cost of participation, & what support is needed to keep the program inclusive for more young people.

    Plus, a special word from CINCO Insurance, reminding you why peace of mind matters on Cayman’s roads.

    On this episode: The crew kicks things off with fashion jokes that quickly turn into the birth of a new nickname, Eggplant Papi - setting the tone for a wide-ranging, unapologetic conversation.

    From generational debates and “expert” culture to Starlink officially landing in the Cayman Islands, e-bike and scooter legislation, rising food costs, public transport frustrations, and the realities of living and working in Cayman.

    The episode also features a deep and insightful conversation with Alyssa Gilbert, Caymanian creative and founder of WIK Magazine, as she shares her journey through fashion, media, creativity, mental health, and why so many Cayman creatives feel the need to leave in order to grow, with hopes of one day returning home.

    The discussion closes with powerful commentary on financial literacy, money mules, online scams, social systems, and why common sense isn’t always common.
