Growing Up Woodbrook

In December 2022 the Woodbrook Residents Committee (in conjunction with the National Trust of Trinidad and Tobago) published a coffee-table book titled Growing Up Woodbrook – A Tapestry of Then and Now.

This podcast is intended to work in tandem with the book, capturing important aspects of our history and culture. In 15 episodes, it will cover Woodbrook’s myriad influences in fields as far-flung as politics, history, Carnival, military affairs, education, and business.
