Rootfire Presents: The Reggae Podclash's mission is to share the stories of foundational reggae artists, creating a historical record told by the artists themselves, while building bridges to new artists who have followed in their footsteps. Hosted by Devin Morrison and Roger Rivas, two longtime players in the Los Angeles reggae scene who have performed and recorded with Jamaican legends including Alton Ellis, Prince Buster, Leonard “The Ethiopian” Dillon, Wailing Souls, Roy Shirley, Pat Kelly, Prince Jazzbo, Willie Williams, The Cables, Derrick Morgan, Stranger Cole, The Maytones, Soul Syndicate, Ranking Joe, Half Pint and more. Devin is also Rootfire’s Editor and founding member of roots reggae group The Expanders, while Roger is musical director for early reggae revivalists The Aggrolites, and a prolific producer & engineer. As collectors of Jamaican vinyl, Devin and Roger begin each episode by highlighting a “Record of The Week” from their own collections, before a long-form conversation with a special guest.

Customer Reviews
Big Up! ✊
This is a great podcast. I love listening to it! I listen when I’m at work (11 hours overnights) so I love long podcasts. I have nothing but good things to say about this podcast, I just wish they were more frequent because this is one of my favorites. Big up you guys!! Much respect!!
Water The Rooooots
I would go back in time and tell myself to listen to this show when it started last year. I got an update from East Star Records that Gentleman’s Dub Club was on this show last week. I listened to one episode and decided to download the episodes with artists I already knew. After listening to a second episode, I quickly decided that I needed to listen to EVERY episode! Learning more about both roots and modern scenes. Bless
The Best Reggae Podcast
An excellent way to experience the voices, the music, the legends of Reggae history, from past to present!

EVERYONE can learn something and enjoy this podcast, no matter how experienced you are with Reggae music and culture.
