The Times they are A-Changin'

– The Times They Are A-Changin'

After more than 100 episodes, heard in over 180 countries, one chapter is coming to a close... and a new one is about to begin.

The episode opens with Sia returning one last time to pay tribute to her dear friend Marty. Henry K reflects on the stories, the friendships, and the moments that shaped Rootsland over the past five years, before revisiting one of the most pivotal moments in modern music history—and the lesson it still has to teach us today.

A celebration. A reflection. And one final journey before the next begins.

About the Podcast

Rootsland "Stories that are Music to your ears"
A podcast about reggae, resistance, and what endures
Rootsland is a long-form narrative audio documentary created and hosted by Henry K. Set against the backdrop of Jamaica and its music culture, the series blends memoir, documentary storytelling, history, and lived experience to explore friendship, ambition, faith, loss, identity, and the moments that change our lives. Drawing on nearly three decades living and working in Jamaica, Henry K takes listeners beyond the headlines and into the lives of artists, dreamers, hustlers, visionaries, and everyday people whose paths intersect in unexpected ways. While reggae often provides the soundtrack, Rootsland is ultimately about people, memory, culture, and the search for meaning in a changing world. Broadcasting from the intersection of word, sound, and power, these are stories about the roads we choose, the people who shape us, and what remains long after the music fades.
