August 19, 2014: Nassau has earned the dubious distinction of being named the 10th UNFRIENDLIEST city in the world! Luxury and lifestyle travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler posed the question as part of its annual Readers’ Choice Survey. Readers apparently feel Nassau is “unsafe” outside the tourist areas. Nassau shares the list with 7 European cities, and is only 7 points behind #1 ranked Johannesburg, South Africa, as the most unfriendly city on the planet. We talk with Life Coach and Motivational Speaker Michelle Miller about how we got to this point, and why we strayed so far from the long-held image as one of the friendliest destinations on Earth. Miller also discusses the tough questions that need to be asked and answered, and the mindset shift urgently needed to reverse this disturbing trend.

August 13, 2014: We have an enlightening and eye-opening discussion with Fred Mitchell, Minister of Foreign Affairs & Immigration. We discuss the current immigration protocols as they relate to the issues to be addressed in the November Constitutional Referendum. Mitchell explains what the proposed amendments will mean, including that no foreign spouse would be granted “automatic” citizenship upon marrying a Bahamian, and would still have to apply after a prescribed time (generally about 5 years).
He also has his say about the dissenting views about the referendum issues from both PLP and FNM MPs, and addresses those who believe the government has ulterior motives, including promoting same-sex marriage.
