    This podcast is helping me understand how our city is shaped. It helps me see how over policing occurs and why adequate resources are not applied to basic social institutions. more

  • Everyone should listen.

    This podcast is a brilliant account of facts and realities facing Black, Indigenous and other racialized people living in so called Edmonton. It calls to question topics and issues that mainstream media will never cover to the depth these issues deserve. Oumar is a talented and poised member of this team who is making history in YEG with this podcast. Bravo!
