In this new episode, we cover the Red River Resistance by following the path of Elzéar Goulet, a mail carrier who became a leader in Louis Riel’s Métis armed forces and, ultimately, was one of six men who decided the fate of Thomas Scott!

Next year, Winnipeg turns 150 and we've got something great planned - 15 episodes, covering 15 historical figures!
15 episodes is also a lot of work for us to take on, so we will be taking January-April off of releasing regular episodes. Patreon is still active monthly, though!
Our latest episode is all about @WinnipegNews in honour of its 150th anniversary! Alex talks about the history of the paper, Sabrina talks about three reporters and their impacts on Winnipeg and beyond, and Nick gets roped into doing a skit.

Halloween, 1940: 3 women carve out a pumpkin, fill it with treats + a ring, a key, and a slipper. Find the slipper - go on a journey, find the ring - get married, and the person who found the key would just have a happy year.

Another October, another episode about a Manitoba Myth! We’re talking about our very own lake monster who resides in Lake Manitoba…or Lake Winnipeg…or possibly Lake Winnipegosis. Manipogo!

New episode Wednesday! Watching this 1982 film will help you prep for it. It's a ... different type of episode. Producer Nick is hosting. It might get Burton-y. https://t.co/9zyGwAuoPh
