  Send us a textIn this week's episode we're fortunate to be joined by Franka Philip for customary canaval wrap-up.Franka is a journalist and media consultant with 25 years experience in online, radio and print with specialist skills in digital media.We do a mini review of the fetes we attended during the season and we hear Franka's expert opinion on the elements that make for a great fete experience.We get into the beauty that is Panorama and discuss the results while Franka sheds some light on the comments around Beverly Ramsey Moore's Katzenjammers hattrick winning season.The competitions were a hot topic as well and seem to always be shrouded in controversy and this year was no different as The Ultimate Soca Champion kicked off the bacchanal and Calypso Monarch and Road March sparked a firestorm of opinions. We might finally have some answers on which competitions are still relevant and which ones may have outlasted their usefulness.Franka speaks to her experience with Lost Tribe and reminisces about her time with Minshall and we get into how J'ouvert has changed over the years.As is tradition, the canaval is over when we (and Kitchener) say it over.Enjoy!!!!
