A podcast to teach the kids (y'all) all about race, media, and culture in KKKanada.
Hey kids, we're back with an actual new episode! We're resuming Season 3 on a monthly schedule (shout out to doing less!) and we're starting off easy with a reflection for some of our top TV watches and recommendations from the past year. Listen through the link in our bio or wherever you get your podcasts. Stay in the know!
Hey, kids! After some much-needed rest, we're coming back next month with new episodes!
In the meantime, don't get caught up in the capitalist sensation of much of the New Year "self-improvement" mindset. Instead, we recommend using this time as a reminder to prioritize wellbeing and care. As such, we're bringing back this conversation from Season 2, where we discuss what self care is (and is not) with , host of Fatal Attraction on CJLO 1690AM.
We’ve been quiet on the podcasting front lately while Prakash focuses on some professional goals (yay!) but he just got back from a much needed trip and we recorded a patron episode to talk about travel in this season of COVID and ended up talking about so much more.
The link to listen (and to become a patron if you’re not one already) is in our bio. Stay in the know!
