    On this episode: This week the crew kicks things off with sports talk, weekend stories, salsa nights, then gets into what’s happening locally & abroad. We also shine a light on Cayman’s creative community with a deep dive into Underground Sessions — an open mic platform that’s become a real hub for local talent: poets, singers, rappers, instrumentalists, comedians, and more. The conversation covers how it started, why it matters, & how it’s creating space for original art to grow. The crew pivots to sports & youth development with a feature on Stingray Swim Club, one of Cayman’s OG swim clubs. Coach John breaks down what it takes to compete, how training is structured (yes… 5AM practices), the cost of participation, & what support is needed to keep the program inclusive for more young people.

    Plus, a special word from CINCO Insurance, reminding you why peace of mind matters on Cayman’s roads.
