Episode 153 | "Eggplant Papi"

Send us a text

The crew kicks things off with fashion jokes that quickly turn into the birth of a new nickname — Eggplant Papi— setting the tone for a wide-ranging, unapologetically Cayman conversation.
From generational debates and “expert” culture to Starlink officially landing in the Cayman Islands, e-bike and scooter legislation, rising food costs, public transport frustrations, and the realities of living and working in Cayman, nothing is off limits.
The episode also features a deep and insightful conversation with Alyssa Gilbert, Caymanian creative and founder of WIK Magazine, as she shares her journey through fashion, media, creativity, mental health, and why so many Cayman creatives feel the need to leave in order to grow — with hopes of one day returning home.
The discussion closes with powerful commentary on financial literacy, money mules, online scams, social systems, and why common sense isn’t always common.
