​​

 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. Season 3 turns up the vibes with fresh meditations on love, resistance, and everyday magic in reggae: in one episode, Jahmi breaks down the story, riddim, and romantic politics behind her track “Sweet Like Mango,” tracing how desire, consent, and Caribbean sensuality move through basslines and metaphors; in another, she riffs on reggae as daily ritual, sharing playful but practical ways to use songs as soundtracks for healing, grounding, and spiritual protection. Listeners jam with interviews and solo jottings that explore 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. From conversations on how reggae uplifts moods, fosters community, and inspires change to inquiries into emotional impact, personal sound rituals, and go-to songs for instant joy, 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.
