If you love Indigenous books (especially fiction) as much as we do, then join us, Waubgeshig Rice and Jennifer David, as we talk ‘all things Indigenous books’. Each episode, we discuss one or more books. We might bring in a guest host, or we might bring in an Indigenous publisher or bookseller. We laugh, we tell stories, we get animated, we debate, we discuss. We always support and promote First Nations, Inuit and Métis authors and their books.

Based on the acclaimed graphic novel anthology, This Place is a 10-part journey through one-hundred and fifty years of Indigenous resistance and resilience. Through dramatizations and interviews, along with your host and time-guide storyteller Rosanna Deerchild, the series reveals the heroes, battles, triumphs and traditions which live outside and beyond the national story we have been taught... to learn, to share, and to heal the future of "this place" we call Canada.

Unreserved is the radio space for Indigenous voices – our cousins, our aunties, our elders, our heroes. Rosanna Deerchild guides us on the path to better understand our shared story. Together, we learn and unlearn, laugh and become gentler in all our relations.
