In this episode, hosts Malia Comba and Noah Mulhern talk to Donnovan Simon, the creator and host of What a Gwaan, a podcast celebrating the dynamic Jamaican community in Canada. We dive into some of the unexpected outcomes of launching What a Gwaan, from surprising connections with listeners, to unearthing hidden stories that have brought the community closer together. You’ll hear about the moments that made Donnovan realize the true impact of his work, and how podcasting has become a powerful medium for cross-cultural exchange.
