Let’s Talk Sexual Health: HIV, STIs and Prevention in Barbados

Sexual health is still one of those topics people are often uncomfortable talking about — even though the consequences of silence can be serious. In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, we take a current look at HIV, STIs, and sexual health in 2026. What progress have we made? What myths are still lingering? And where are the biggest gaps in education, testing, prevention, and public understanding? Joining the conversation are: Anderson Langdon — Executive Director, BFPA Dr. Ashlyn Scott-Williams — Director of Clinical Services Together, they help unpack the realities around sexual health today, from awareness and prevention to stigma, behaviour, and why honest conversation still matters. This is a timely discussion about health, responsibility, access to information, and the importance of keeping sexual health on the national agenda. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube (@thebgis).

Is Barbados Ready for Electric Vehicles?

Electric vehicles are no longer a distant idea in Barbados. More people are seeing them on the road, hearing the debate, and asking the same question: are we really ready for this shift? In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, Mikul Elcock and Fabian Belgrave dig into the promise and the practical reality of EV adoption in Barbados. Beyond the hype, what does it actually mean to own, maintain, charge, insure, and respond to electric vehicles in a small island developing state? They’re joined by three guests with very different but equally important perspectives: Christopher McFarlane of Megapower Ltd, bringing insight into the energy and infrastructure side of the conversation. Alexander Barker, an EV Technician, speaking to the technical realities of servicing and maintaining electric vehicles. Marlon Small, Divisional Officer of the Barbados Fire Service, offering a critical emergency response and safety perspective. Together, they unpack some of the biggest questions around EV readiness in Barbados: *  Is the charging infrastructure where it needs to be?  *  Are EVs really affordable when you look beyond the sticker price?  *  Do we have the technical skills and systems in place to support long-term growth?  *  How prepared are emergency services to deal with EV-related incidents?  *  And are Barbadians fully buying into the transition, or still watching from the sidelines?  This is a grounded conversation about innovation, policy, safety, cost, and what it will take for Barbados to move confidently into a more electric future. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube (@thebgis).

Menopause | Breaking the Silence, Talking Truths

Menopause is something many women are expected to endure quietly — but that silence comes at a cost. In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, we open up an honest, informed conversation about menopause and the many ways it affects women’s lives. From hot flashes and sleep disruption to mood changes, mental health struggles, intimacy, and workplace challenges, this discussion goes beyond the usual surface-level talk. This episode explores what menopause really is, why so many women enter this stage without clear information or support, and how myths and stigma continue to shape the experience. It also looks at the importance of balanced medical guidance, better support systems, and treating menopause as more than just a private issue. Joining the conversation are: Dr. Sandra Bynoe — OBGYN and menopause specialist, Dr. Roberta Corona — OBGYN and menopause specialist, BioConnect Deidre Wood — Nutritionist Together, they help break down the facts, challenge the myths, and push for a more open, supportive conversation around menopause. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube (@thebgis).
