Jus' Ah Conversation

• Independence Special: Proud, Independent and Slightly Hardears

  In this Independence Day special of Jus’ Ah Conversation, we’re putting the seriousness aside and celebrating Barbados the best way Bajans know how — with jokes, big opinions, cultural nostalgia, and a little friendly madness.Hosts Mikul Elcock, Aisha Reid, Shayla Murrell and Fabian Belgrave are joined by the Jus’ Ah Conversation family for a light-hearted but meaningful look at Bajan identity. Using our own Bajan Wildcards game, the crew answers fun, outrageous, and patriotic questions about everything that makes Barbados… Barbados.From sno-cone debates, to favourite Bajan sayings, to the foods we love (and hate), to the quirks only a true Bajan would understand — this episode is full of laughter, storytelling, and national pride.🇧🇧 It’s culture. It’s comedy. It’s conversation. It’s Barbados.Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and wherever you get your podcasts.
