So nice to get up after a 3 AM breastfeeding break for youngest daughter and find a new podcast!! And how exciting the 6 year old son will be to hear Rise played on it – one of his favourite songs. Thank you for broadcasting again. For those of us completely out of all kinds of loops that exist within the normal world, having a location like this to keep us informed – and informed in an incredibly intelligent and lucid fashion – is just great!
Looking forward to hearing lots more in the very near future. Let me know how I can help or encourage to keep them coming.

[...] Stacy-Marie Ishmael responds to a FIFA news story expressing surprise that the Trinidad & Tobago World Cup team has a white member, with a reminder that it’s important to “militate against stereotypes wherever possible”. She also points to some of the commemorative items being produced as tributes to the team, and links to Caribbean Free Radio’s latest podcast, which focuses on what host country Germany is expecting of the Caribbean visitors.

I cannot wait for Trinidad and Tobago’s onslaught on Germany. I have a feeling something good is going to happen, God knows the country needs it.
I’ll be wining there too with the blue devils and 3 Canal!

*chokes on tangerine* what? a new podcast?!

Gosh, if my podcasts are causing people to choke on food, then maybe I’d better retire! As it is I’m already being sued by a group of amphibians….

What a coincidence, a german lad looking for fresh stuff is “randomly” downloading your CFR podcast at odeo… and what’s the topic? Worldcup in Germany! I really enjoyed the show and appreciated the statements. It’s true, we are totally excited about hosting so many people from all over the world… and we are happy if we could prove some more preconcepts wrong. And, in fact, you should let us know more about you! We are always open for some new spices and flavours. So, I guess I’ll be checkin’ CFR more often. Ah, and “Rise” is a killer tune!!
All the best,

Trinidad and Tobago did not win a game or score a goal but they still left their mark on the FIFA World Cup finals and proved they deserved their place in Germany. The two-island nation entertained many with stirring performances against Sweden, taking a point from their opening game, and then ruffled England’s feathers before succumbing to two late goals.

socawarriors.net says “National team captain Dwight Yorke will join a Trinidad and Tobago senior team which includes only seven players who were part of the squad at the 2006 World Cup, for an international friendly against Japan in Tokyo on August 9″
