Ep. 136 - Celebrating Reggae Month with "An Odyssey in Reggae and Journalism' by Howard McGowan

February is Reggae Month in Jamaica. It is so fitting that a Jamaican journalist has seen it fit to record the history of the development of Reggae and Dancehall Music in Jamaica, giving us previously untold stories. Howard McGowan is an award-winning entertainment journalist, celebrating 50 years in journalism. He was The Gleaner’s first entertainment journalist. In December 2023, he published an iconic cultural gem, his debut book, “An Odyssey in Reggae and Journalism.” As we celebrate Reggae in February, year after year, this book is a must-read. In this episode, we share an interview with Mr. McGowan and excerpts from his book release, including an untold story from Chapter 9 of his book, which he reads for us.
