How to fix a car (in Jamaica)
The car is one of the most fundamental symbols of our modern life, but it’s also one that is changing fast. In this episode of Old-School, we talk to Jamaican teacher Tracy-Ann Hall about what it takes to teach people to fix cars, the joy of mending things with your hands, and how a new generation of technology is changing the way things are done in the garage.
