Podcast

Jahmi Roc's Jottings is available on Spotify

​

JRJ podcast, hosted by the vibrant Jahmi Roc (aka Racquel Bernard), is a  seriously silly space dedicated to intentional musicology, sonic joy, and reggae insights that keep your mind rocking and thoughts swaying with rhythmic wisdom. Diving into Season 2, episodes groove through profound explorations like reggae epistemology—a Jamaican tradition of knowing through music's resistance to colonial and neoliberal structures, riffing off blues epistemology to blend history, politics, spirituality, and liberation in bass-heavy beats. Listeners jam with interviews, such as Nikkita McPherson sharing how reggae uplifts moods, fosters community, and inspires change, or Dale "Dizzle" Virgo in lively conversations, while episodes pose playful yet probing questions on emotional impacts, personal rituals, and song recommendations for instant happiness boosts. From first encounters with reggae's relaxing vibes to its role in social justice and global connections, the podcast fuses scholarly depth with whimsical energy, inviting everyone to dance, reflect, and chant down Babylon in a celebration of sound as transformative knowledge.
