Connecting Flights — Ska & Reggae Across the Seas

On a special History Lesson edition of the show, I gave a guided tour through the important music's

World Music on WWSP 90FM

I share a Friday afternoon world music show on WWSP Stevens Point with Chad Dally. On his Fridays, Chad takes listeners all across the seven seas and continents, while I fly more limited routes  between Jamaica, America, and Britain—exploring the great ska, reggae, and dub tunes produced there. Click on the image of me in the studio for my "History Lesson" show of mini-lectures on the music's important sub-genres and landmark tunes. Playlists of all shows are archived below. Or listen live online on alternating Friday afternoons from 3-6 (Central) via the 90FM website. 

Ever since their first releases appeared in 2017, London-based collective The Hempolics have issued a string of gorgeous tracks across an impressive range ofJamaican-rooted styles. On my show, I play more of their music than almost any other artists. So when the final instalment of the Kiss, Cuddle & Torture trilogy came out in late-2024, it was a real treat to interview Hempolics producer and ringleader Grippa Laybourne. Click on the image above to hear Grippa explain his concept for the KCT trilogy; the very personal  significance of a couple tracks; and the origin stories of his love of Jamaican music, his career at the controls, and his nickname.
