In the last episode with Maureen Holloway and Wendy Mesley on the topic of their Women Of Ill Repute Podcast (which just launched), I mentioned that my next guest would be a male. The idea was for us to discuss how together, men and women can change the future of broadcasting to be more fair, transparent, and inclusive, inspired by the story Jennifer Valentyne recently shared. For reference, please refer to the last episode (#36). I did record a conversation with a former male broadcast executive who worked closely with the big personality in question, but unfortunately, listening back to the episode for review, he became uncomfortable with it being shared. While I understand and respect that decision, I'd still very much like to have that conversation. Please consider this an invitation to reach out if you are current or former management who has experience dealing with big talent. I'd love to have that conversation with a male for a different perspective, and I believe it will show allyship with women in this business, as well as bravery and vulnerability. I'll leave that here, please get in touch if you'd like at womeninmediapod@gmail.com. In lieu of the new episode, please enjoy this conversation I re-visit with two-spirited Indigenous artist iskwē | ᐃᐢᑫᐧᐤ – a creator and communicator of music and of movement, of pictures, poetry and prose. And through it all, she's a teller of stories that have impacted our past and will inform our future. You may know her best for her music, but she creates across many different mediums.

An Interview with Ambrose Cardinal about his project Nanâtawihiwên, a zine dedicated to Indigenous healing centred around the Medicine Wheel.

This past April’s Extinction Rebellion mass movement, acknowledging our climate and ecological emergency reality, successfully encouraged the UK parliament to declare a climate and environment emergency. However, efforts are still required before the government enacts relevant policies. Extinction Rebellion’s mission urges radical changes from the political sphere for citizens to adapt to our climate crisis, drive governments to halt biodiversity loss, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net 0 by 2025, and influence a citizen’s assembly on our climate and ecological emergency. This nonviolent civil disobedience and economic disruption aims to risk the least amount of resource drain for mass impact and dilemma action from those in power. Liam Geary Baulch, Jasmine Salter, and Linda Doyle are three of Extinction Rebellion’s core members who speak to us about the values, inner workings, and way forward of this soon to be international rebellion. An artist, activist and one of the key players in launching Extinction Rebellion, Liam Geary Baulch has been creating national actions with the movement since 2018 along with Stop Killing Londoners, one of Rising Up's earlier campaigns on air pollution. We also speak with former architecture student, Jasmine Salter who left school to become involved in climate activism. She is one of the Regenerative Culture co-ordinators who focuses on action well-being and has helped build support networks throughout Extinction Rebellion’s actions. Finally, Linda Doyle joins us. A social psychology master’s graduate, Linda is one of the coordinators of Extinction Rebellion's UK national citizens' assembly team.  In this episode, Ayana speaks to these three key members about creating the high-priority changes required in this time of crisis through nonviolent civil disobedience and economic disruption as the core movement, while using citizen’s assembly to provide a balanced view on our current issues among the people, and stakeholders. They delve into the importance of non-violent movements for climate momentum, navigating public awareness while risking the lowest criminal charge while discussing how regenerative culture and people’s assemblies create inclusive and democratic groups which work against ecofascism and towards a more democracy-focused political agenda.

Bridging cross-cultural aesthetics while exploring her own struggle to both fit into and breakaway from modern Western archetypes has been an important part of iskwé’s artistic vision since the release of her WCMA nominated self-titled debut album in late 2013. Her debut single “Nobody Knows,” produced by Juno Award nominees The Darcys and featured in the Netflix series Between, captivated audiences by turning a stark spotlight on the more than 1200 missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada. Unafraid to challenge the convictions of her detractors by honoring her heritage, standing steadfast in her viewpoints, iskwé’s artistry knows no bounds. Blending soulful, breathlessly delivered lyrics colored by the many shades of human nature with a sonic palette that takes its cue from the shadowy atmospherics of the 1990s Bristol sound, iskwé’s music revels in her strength of self and that is her true rallying cry. In this episode we learn more about the inspiration for her purposeful music and the important role music can play in the health of an entire community.  To learn more about the NYU College of Global Public Health, and how our innovative programs are training the next generation of public health leaders, visit publichealth.nyu.edu.

Lemon Bucket Orkestra's new album, If I Had the Strength, follows their JUNO-nominated 2016 release Moorka with another intriguing dose of their international sonic mosaic. They call that mosaic "Balkan-Klezmer-Gypsy-party-punk" and talk to Mike about all of the album's moving parts, their heralded live show, and a lot more. Iskwé was named one of the Top 10 Artists to Watch by CBC Music on the back of a compelling sound that weaves her powerful vocals with dark, soulful R&B rhythms, electronic flourishes and trip-hop breakbeats. Her latest LP, The Fight Within, is a musical tour-de-force that explores some very weighty and topical themes, including various facets of Canada's troubled history and relationships with its indigenous peoples and communities. The artist speaks with Andrew about those issues and many others in this special interview. Toronto jazz pianist Teri Parker has released a debut album with her quartet called In The Past. We speak with the artist about how her various projects - including Toronto's top Radiohead cover band - complement one another, the musical synergy between the members of her quartet, how the album nods to works that have inspired her, and more.

Toronto (via Winnipeg) vocalist Iswké has been the subject of a lot of buzz in the Canadian music biz lately -- as much for her uniquely soulful, jazz-inflected, trip-hop-inspired sound as her willingness to speak out on modern-day protest songs like "Nobody Knows," which addresses the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women. This was sort of a last-minute 'hey, you're in town and our schedules work!' sort of deal, so we skipped the usual Witchpolice theme word setup, but you'll hear Iskwé's own music throughout. There's a really good discussion on this episode about music with a message, the problems (and great things) about our hometown and much more.

Diesmal sind Bikini Jesus und Mary Ocher + Your Government zu Gast. Neben den Songs dieser beiden Bands gibt es noch weitere Musikvorstellungen und Konzerttipps. Außerdem haben wir die kanadische Musikerin Iskwé interviewt, die sich besonders für die indigenen Völker Kanadas einsetzt. Bikini Jesus: Ihr Musikstil lässt sich in "New Wave Surf", Indie und Pop zusammenfassen. Nachdem die Band 2013 gegründet wurde, hatte sie 2014 erste Auftritte. Derzeit arbeiten sie an ihrem ersten Album. Bis dahin kann man sie schon auf Bandcamp und natürlich in unserer Sendung hören! https://www.facebook.com/bikinijesusberlin Mary Ocher + Your Government: Mary Ocher + Your Government's live show is a sub-religious experience with the mysterious spirits of the ancients, in an audio-visual explosion of cult futuristic rock&roll, with the queen outsider of Berlin Avant-Pop exploring the depths of forbidden tribal, electronic ecstasies. Mary Ocher & Your Government's debut album will be out in November on Faust's Klangbad Records - a synth-heavy psych bomb, consisting of various elements of oldschool industrial music as well as cumbia and tribal rhythms, krautrock and no-wave. https://www.facebook.com/MaryOcherMusic Iskwé: Called ‘One to Watch’ by The Grid TO and one of the ‘Top 10 Canadian Musicians You Need to Know’ by CBC Music, Iskwé’s cross-cultural aesthetic is as striking as her tripped-out blend of soul. The name Iskwé (pronounced iss-kway) means ‘woman’ in her native language. Iskwé’s debut album weaves together her Irish and Cree/Dene roots with hip hop breakbeats, left-field R&B, and traces of piano pop (Think Esthero meets Alicia Keys). Her debut record was nominated for Electronic/Dance Album of the Year at the 2014 Western Canadian Music Awards and single “Slack Jaw” was voted Regional Finalist in the 2014 CBC Searchlight Competition.
