How Jamaica Conquered the World
iTunes UK podcast of the week June 2012
Critically acclaimed podcast series documenting the cultural influence of the island of Jamaica on the world. Using my 20 years’ experience in media production, multimedia and website development, I decided to create an online showcase of Jamaica since independence. The island has conquered the world, (not always quietly) in music, sport, style and religion while many of its sons and daughters have excelled in their adopted countries in business and politics.
I successfully raised £10,000 on Kickstarter.com in June 2013 for the project. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roifield/how-jamaica-conquered-the-world

I listened to the entire series on a 2,000 mile road trip with my 6 year daughter in November. Great interviews, great music. I am a historian and a Jamaican music aficionado — your podcast kept me engaged all the way around. I esp. appreciated your show documenting the connections between Jamaica and NY Hip Hop. It is not a hidden story, but for some reason most people don’t know. Thanks for all the time and resources you have put into this. I am considering using it as required listening for a course I teach on Africa and the World.
