Ep. 84 - A Deep Dive into St Martin History 🇸🇽 ft. Jean-Marc

We’re back at the top of September—a month of learning—and what better way to kick it off than with one of St. Martin’s youngest and most passionate historians, Jean-Marc? 🇸🇽📚Who knew there was SO much we didn’t know about our island’s history? And the island TEA? Just as hot as the tea today! 👀☕️Jean-Marc takes us on a deep dive into the stories, landmarks and historical details that have been overlooked or forgotten. We also learn more about our sister islands, Saba and Statia, and how deeply connected the histories of the SSS islands truly are.Did you know the Courthouse became smaller over time? Or that the ruins of a windmill can still be found on the island? Because we definitely didn’t! 😭This conversation gave us a whole new appreciation for St. Martin and reminded us why preserving our national monuments, documenting our stories and learning about our past are so important.Why are we taught so much about everybody else’s history while barely knowing our own?Tap in for a history lesson—with a little island tea on the side. 🌴🔥Let us know in the comments: What is one piece of St. Martin history you think everyone should know?Bite The Bullet Podcast is your go-to Caribbean podcast for raw, unfiltered conversations about life, growth, culture, identity and EVERYTHING in between.Hosted by @ItsJojoRenee & @HadieLeonie 🌴🔥 Representing Saba and St. Maarten, based in the Netherlands. 🇸🇽🇧🇶🇳🇱 🎧 New episodes biweekly._____________📺 WATCH US ON RTV7Every Saturday at 17:00 CET Ziggo 75 | KPN 93 | Odido 515Full Bite The Bullet episodes continue right here on YouTube and across our usual podcast platforms._____________🔗 LINKSWebsite: https://www.bitethebulletpod.com Patreon: https://linktw.in/eLdtcy Instagram: @bitethebulletpod TikTok: @bitethebulletpod Email: info@bitethebulletpod.com⸻🎬 PRODUCTIONKristen Sorton | @KLeighCreative | kristen@kleighcreative.nl Larvall Dacres Keverne Arthur Quintly Vrutaal⸻📍 STUDIOWe’ve moved into a bigger creative studio space—more room, more production and more content.Interested in podcast studio rental, video production or a creative collaboration in the Netherlands?
