Über diesen Titel

INK & OBEAH is where the page meets the altar, and every story is both literature and a living spell. Hosted by Addae G, the Griot. A Caribbean storyteller, poet, and keeper of ancestral memory. This podcast journeys deep into books that hold more than just words.

We begin with No Pain Like This Body by Harold Sonny Ladoo, peeling back the layers of Trinidad’s cane fields, rainswept villages, and burning kitchens to reveal the echoes of history, the whispers of folklore, and the unseen hands of spirit. Each episode blends intimate readings, personal reflections, cultural decoding, and mystical interpretation, uncovering the way stories in the Caribbean are never simply told, they’re conjured.


What makes INK & OBEAH different?
This is not an academic seminar. It’s not a detached review. It’s an initiation. You’ll hear the creak of the verandah chair, the soft hiss of rain on galvanise, the brush of a page turning under candlelight. You’ll feel the presence of obeah in the margins, and the living pulse of the ancestors in every metaphor.


Addae G’s commentary moves between the scholar’s study and the village storyteller’s corner, between literary craft and oral tradition, between the sacred and the mischievous. Alongside the words, you’ll hear original music composed by Addae G; atmospheric, meditative, and charged with Caribbean soul that's available as a separate download for immersive listening.


Themes explored:

  • Caribbean literature and its deeper meanings
  • Obeah, folklore, and ancestral knowledge hidden in plain sight
  • The intersection of spirituality, history, and storytelling
  • Personal and cultural memory in the diaspora
  • The Caribbean landscape as both character and spirit guide
  • How the written word becomes a ritual act


INK & OBEAH is part book club, part spiritual reasoning, part cultural time travel. Pull up a chair. Light a candle. Turn the page — and mind the spirits that slip through the ink.

    Welcome to Ink & Obeah, the secret reading society where Caribbean books speak, and the old magic answers back. Hosted by Trinidad-born storyteller and artist Addae G, each gathering takes us deeper into Caribbean literature, one chapter at a time. With candlelight, rain on a tin roof, and the rhythm of island storytelling, we explore not just the words, but the spirits, folklore, and ancestral memory alive inside them.

    You can support the Society and help keep these readings alive by contributing on PayPal or Ko-fi. A digital copy of the book is also available, so you can read along with us as we turn each page together.


    We’re now at Chapter 5 of No Pain Like This Body — where the rain has passed, but the damage has not. In this chapter, we enter the riceland with Ma and the children, where labour becomes inheritance, silence becomes resistance, and the field itself seems to watch who works, who refuses, and who endures.

    Chapter Four Description

    The rain feels endless, falling on tin, mud, and wounds. The house is heavy, and the family is caught in a storm that echoes beyond the weather. Ma holds the children close while Pa slips further into drink and darkness. Ladoo’s words cut like thunder, short, brutal, biblical. This chapter explores the inheritance of pain and how silence can feed survival. The land watches, the rain listens, and every word is a prayer half-spoken.
