In this episode of the Dis A fi mi History Podcast, we delve into the near-forgotten 1639 uprising on St. Kitts, an important event in Caribbean history where over 60 enslaved people fled to Mount Misery, built a fortified maroon community, and resisted colonial power before facing brutal repression. This exploration of family history and spirit highlights how resistance is woven into the island's fabric. 

We also trace the ongoing spirit of defiance through a lone survivor’s legend and pivotal events like the 1834 general strike and the legacy of Marcus of the Woods, culminating in the island’s renaming to Mount Liamuiga. Join us as we uncover how these acts of courage have shaped Caribbean identity and continue to resonate today.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
