Why did you guys stop making them
The history you claim to uncover is not hidden , it’s been written and published by incredible historians from all walks of life - it’s a shame you were given a platform to present a narrative that Canadian history has somehow been ‘hidden’ when in fact it’s been incredibly ‘uncovered’
Well researched and informative series with hosts that are a joy to listen to. Looking forward to more episodes on treaties and landclaims! Except that I just learned the series is over and I'm devastated.
I wholeheartedly love this podcast and I’m not Canadian! The chemistry of the hosts as they explore history is a perfect combo. I will miss them! And yes CBC, I will continue to listen to the back catalog.
