Welcome to the Indigenous 150+ podcast series
Launching in 2019, Good Influence Films brought together 21 young adults from across the country, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to learn how to moderate cross cultural conversations and basic podcasting skills. This inaugural program has evolved into two training programs – both an introductory and an advanced digital storytelling and podcast training program supporting the talent and career development of new and emerging Indigenous storytellers. During the first season these young creators hosted and produced 45+ podcast episodes giving voice to the things that are important to them.
It is June 2022, and we are proud to be releasing both pilots and individual episodes hosted by 16 new and emerging storytellers from across the country. The 2022 Season covers a diversity of topics discussing everything from decolonizing motherhood to exploring a fictional narrative that turns patriarchy on it’s head.
Join us for this new season that puts young Indigenous storytellers and creatives centre stage! If you like what you hear we invite you to rate the episodes and help get these stories shared and recommended to podcast listeners around the world.
