  • Creative

    Such a creative way of getting this story approved and out there despite the whiteness of decision makers. This podcast shares how Canada’s cultural institutions need a shake up and how they missed on some of the greatest economic success stories in Canadian music. If you are looking for great stories, great music, and important Black history of Canada you will love this podcast
