In this episode I talk to Anishinaabe language carrier and poet Jon Taylor. We met on TikTok through his wonderful videos teaching people words and songs in his language. Join us as we discuss poetry, teaching, music and medicine.

Hi everyone! This is my first interview episode and I'm really excited to share it with you all! Sonny Assu is a Ligwiłda’xw artist of the Kwakwaka'wakw Nations based in ƛam̓atax̌ʷ (Campbell River, B.C.). I've known Sonny for many years now, and he's a good friend of mine. It was nice to catch up and explore what he's up to at the moment, everything from gaming and his recent trip to Santa Fe, to political issues of the now and discussing his potential next trip to the UK.
