The Bahamas – Tracks From Abroad Ep. 97

During one of the coldest weeks of the winter, Tracks From Abroad takes you to the temperate Bahamas.

We kick back with Adam Knowles, a student at U of T who enjoys both the complexities of neuroscience and the thrill of spear fishing. He tells us about what it's like to live in a popular tourist destination and how life on the archipelago is so closely tied to the climate, with hurricanes and climate change frequently posing a threat.

We also discuss how Bahamian music varies across the islands - from rural rake-and-scrape to contemporary calypso, you'll hear it all on this week's episode of Tracks From Abroad. Tune into CIUT 89.5FM next week at 6pm EST for another trip abroad!
