This episode, Deborah Howell is privileged to chat with the utterly mesmerizing Alicia Keys on the eve of her second stint at hosting the Grammy Awards. We talk about the 62nd Annual Grammys, her new single, "Underdog", her upcoming world tour--and of course, her favorite place in the world!

This time, Deborah Howell shares the mic with two beautiful women who know something about the Bahamas! Cory Bassett is the Business Manager of Entercom Los Angeles and is of Bahamian descent. Her lovely daughter, Bernika, was crowned "Miss Bahamas" in 2010-2011 and went on to compete in the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants. She traveled the world as an ambassador, but always left her heart in the Bahamas. Bernika and Cory share their insights about their beloved islands and give us plenty of reasons to visit there on our next vacation, reminding us that what the Bahamas need most right now to recover is for tourism to thrive. Conk salad, fresh fish, turquoise waters and a lovely welcoming people await you!

This time, Deborah Howell sits down with the Executive Director of the Sandals Foundation, Heidi Clark, to talk about recovery efforts in the Bahamas in the wake of Hurricane Dorian. Ms. Clark explains that while there is devastation in the northern islands, the Southern Bahamas were untouched and are now mobilized to help their brothers and sisters who've lost everything.

She also reminds us that without tourism, these islands can't survive, so one of the best ways to help is to book your next vacation in the awesome islands called the Bahamas. Heidi gives us plenty of reasons to do that--from the turquoise waters to the lovely Bahamian people to the conk-cuisine to the water sports--including swimming with pigs!
