Quick geography check: what ocean is the Bahamas in? If you said Caribbean, you're in good company and also wrong — the entire archipelago of roughly 700 islands sits in the Atlantic Ocean, which never technically touches these islands at all. This episode covers Christopher Columbus's actual first Americas landfall here in 1492, the 40,000-strong Lucayan population wiped out entirely by Spanish slavers within a generation, Nassau's brief and genuine run as a functioning pirate republic complete with Blackbeard, and Pompey's 1830 Exuma slave uprising. We bring it up to the present with Hurricane Dorian, the Category 5 storm that stalled directly over Grand Bahama in 2019 and is still reshaping government policy seven years later, the Sand Dollar digital currency it produced, Sam Bankman-Fried's 2022 arrest in Nassau, and Prime Minister Philip Davis's early-2026 election, called specifically to avoid hurricane season. Plus Sidney Poitier's historic Best Actor Oscar, Junkanoo's genuinely disputed origins, cracked conch, swimming pigs, pink sand beaches, and why a country spread across nearly 700 islands somehow fits, by total land area, inside the footprint of a single mid-sized American city.
