  • The difference between Slavery in the USA and the Caribbean

    The difference between Slavery in the USA and the Caribbean
    Mar 15 2026

    In this episode of the Know Your Caribbean podcast, host Fiona Compton explores the history and structure of slavery in the Caribbean and the United States. Drawing from Caribbean historical perspectives, the conversation examines how plantation economies, colonial systems, and resistance shaped life across the region. From the scale of plantation societies to the cultural survival and rebellion of enslaved Africans, the episode unpacks how different colonial environments produced distinct historical experiences—while still being connected through the wider system of the transatlantic slave trade.

    Through clear historical context and reflection, Fiona Compton of Know Your Caribbean invites listeners to think more deeply about how these histories shaped the societies we live in today, and why understanding them matters for conversations about identity, memory, and justice in the present.

    90 Seconds into Oblivion - The Mount Pelée Eruption in Martinique
    Feb 19 2026

    In this episode, we dive into the devastating 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée on the Caribbean island of Martinique—a disaster that obliterated the thriving city of Saint-Pierre in minutes. Through eyewitness accounts and historical insight, we explore how warning signs were missed, how a deadly pyroclastic surge changed volcanic science forever, and why this eruption remains one of the most catastrophic in recorded history.
