    Welcome to Season Two of the TropicZone Podcast. This is your host. Andrew Skerritt. This season on TropicZone features the Going Home Diaries, a series capturing a return visit to Montserrat. It features interviews with individuals who either live on their native island or those who have sought their fortunes abroad. Unlike John Agee, we believe we can go home again.

He is a co-founder of Caribbean One Television Network as well as the owner of VICRAE Inc., a management and production company that develops emerging and established artists.
