In a compelling panel discussion, Falen Johnson sits down with Karyn Pugliese (CBC, APTN, Canadaland), January Rogers (2 Ro Media, Ojistoh Publishing), and Kairyn Potts and Scott Wabano (The Real Rank Podcast) to talk about the ever shifting landscape of podcasting.

In a vault below a museum in St. John’s sit the remains of a Beothuk woman named Demasduit. Rosanna travels to Newfoundland and Labrador to hear her story and how it informs the complicated history of North America’s oldest city. Demasduit was abducted in life and in death – her skull taken to Europe for study and then locked away for nearly 200 years. We explore a city known for its colourful houses and robust military and communications history, with the on-going story of Demasduit in mind.

The Kilaut, or Inuit drum, is bigger than many hand drums – but small enough to be wielded by its drum dancers. Rosanna heads to St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador to learn about a tradition that was almost lost due to colonial bans on cultural practices and expressions. She meets singers, drummers and dancers who are reclaiming and sharing this cherished Inuit tradition.
