A gateway to an incredible history
This is probably the easiest intro to jump into learning about the history of modern reggae music. Very digestible, relatable, and worthwhile tangents that put into context the great human reflection of reggae and Jamaican music. Lots of helpful backstory while keeping a narrative flowing - entertaining and packed with details . Great music and transitions to nail the feel

Great story, well told!
Well worth a listen!! In addition to the fascinating tale of life and labor in the music industry in Jamaica, the production of Henry's voice along with the addition of sound effects and music really lends to enjoyable, easy listening.

Respect to the man called Henry K
I just want to say I love the show and I give thanks for the effort you put into making it. Excellent story telling and I adore the reggae history mixed throughout. Truly original and I hope you have much more story to tell so the show can go on and on. Big ups Henry K🤙🏼

Season 4 Is fire
I am so loving this show! Every season has new twists and turns, this podcast never gets boring. Season 4, Has been so amazing, The love story is such a great addition. I actually enjoy the shorter episodes, I feel like there’s more bang for the buck. Keep them coming.

Phenomenal
I am a big fan who has invested unmeasurable amounts of time studying dancehall and reggae music, most questions I have Henry K with his first hand experience clarified it for me. I want to say twins of twins brought me here and I am happy I invested the time listening because it was worth every second. And 😂Henry K moved from Long Island to Jamaica, I did the reverse.

The perfect podcast
Yup I said perfect - compelling narrative, sincere but relaxed delivery, with a dense, gorgeous soundscape woven around the spoken word so that it doesn't overwhelm. This podcast just plain SOUNDS so good and is so engaging, I'd probably listen to it even if I weren't as deeply interested in this music as I am. Please let there be more!

Blown Away by the storyline
Was never a big fan of reggae music, But after listening to season one of Rootsland I have a whole new respect for the genre. I love how the narrator mixes his own experiences with the history of the music. Top-notch storytelling, really great production and music.

Why so short?
We listen to your story at work and would love a longer episode and to hear more of your story and adventures. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

Rootsland episodes 1-3
Loved this podcast- very original; interesting
For those that grew up in the 80’s, with even a passing interest in reggae, to hear these stories- absolutely fascinating
Keep it going!
