درباره این پادکست 🔗
Our Podcast focuses on the intersection of creativity and business—culturally situated in the Heartbeat of Jamaica and abroad.
The Creative Frequency podcast, produced by the Institute of Caribbean Studies (ICS) within the Faculty of Humanities and Education at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, is dedicated to exploring the dynamic intersection of culture and commerce across the region. Directed by Dr. Dave Gosse, the program spotlights the innovative spirit of Jamaican entrepreneurs who are building and scaling creative businesses.
Co-hosted by MPhil/PhD Scholar Rachel Fenderson and CCI Scholar Radika Myers, the show leverages academic insight and local expertise to investigate how figures like Model/Actor Dane Jones, Perfumier Edwin Bruce of (Prince D'Bruce), gourmet caterer Chef Candace Carr, and Director of Technology and Community Engagement Damion Johnson of (S.E.T.A.S) are defining success on their own terms, often challenging traditional industry standards and colonial legacies.
The essence of this podcast is a deep dive into Cultural Studies through the lens of economic entrepreneurship. It examines the practical realities of launching and sustaining creative brands—from custom high-end fragrances and niche culinary arts to community-engaged mobile technology and professional acting—within the Jamaican and wider Caribbean economy. By allocating dedicated segments to cultural expressions like "Tek Time Fi Chat" and centering discussions on topics like regional stereotypes, authentic representation, and community investment, the podcast aims to preserve, interrogate, and celebrate Jamaican cultural identity as a powerful driver of innovation and economic resilience for the entire region.
