City and Nuuchimii
City and Nuuchimii is an independent, non-partisan current affairs podcast produced and hosted by Maïtée Saganash (in nuuchimii*) and Jenn Jefferys (in the city). Jenn and Maïtée, both political columnists in their respective provinces, have welcomed guests from across the pop culture and political spectrum — from Cadence Weapon, to Chantal Hébert, to one of the original writers for The Simpsons. With humour and irreverence, Indigeneity and profanity, this pod is a labour of love that prides itself on being run entirely by women – thus thwarting yet another white man from picking up a microphone

When she isn’t fighting for Cree sovereignty or advising the Cree Health Board, Maïtée can be found hunting and fishing on her ancestral lands.
