Hmmm, no responses, and perhaps ongoing algorithmic glitches under the new ownership are to blame. So we just went back to our last draw and picked a name at random. If you'd like this copy @stephbl82 please let us know!
This month's episode is now available! We talked about Louise Erdrich's wonderful novel The Sentence with author and scholar Daniel Heath Justice. There's a lot to unpack with this compelling book, and Daniel was the ideal guest to talk us through it. Download/stream now!

This month's episode is up! We read the award-winning novel Probably Ruby by Lisa Bird-Wilson, and asked acclaimed author Michelle Good to join us to discuss it. It was a very compelling conversation, with many parallels between Probably Ruby and Michelle's Five Little Indians.

Made a tea and sat with @JibbyJoos & @StorykeepersPod talking about one of my favs, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's Islands of Decolonial Love (admitting all her books are my fav), connecting the idea of decolonial love to nation rebuilding & Indigenous resurgence. Miigwetch
