Hey kids, we're back to close out the year with a little reflection on the past year season/year and what we have planned for the year/season to come. We recorded this conversation back in September, before the events of October 7th and Israel's ongoing siege on Gaza, as such, they are not mentioned here, but were in our last newsletter with educational resources linked below.

Fancy a game of Canadian real estate vs. literal European castles, anyone?
The housing situation is bad and dare we say that the rental situation is worse. This episode (recorded September 2023), Prakash and Kristen discuss their past rental woes and offer some suggestions for renters with the hope that the situation changes for the better. (But it probably won't anytime soon, because you know, capitalism.)

Hey, kids! After some much-needed rest, we're coming back next month with new episodes! In the meantime, don't get caught up in the capitalist sensation of much of the New Year "self-improvement" mindset. Instead, we recommend using this time as a reminder to prioritize wellbeing and care. As such, we're bringing back this conversation from Season 2, where we discuss what self care is (and is not) with Patricia Petit-Liang, host of Fatal Attraction on CJLO 1690AM.

While we're still on hiatus, we are republishing this episode from Season 1 that we think is worth revisiting as climate emergencies and its effects are felt around the world. Take care out there. See you soon.
Transcript available here.
On today’s episode we talk about the climate catastrophe from various angles, KKKanada’s appalling responses, and how racialized people face the brunt of consequences resulting from climate change. This week we’re asking, Do the kids know about environmental racism?

This episode sets off our mini season within a season in which we unpack issues facing Indigenous communities in Canada. In this first episode, we're breaking down the first chapter of Chelsea Vowel's formative book, Indigenous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis & Inuit Issues in Canada , "The Terminology of Relationships". We discuss issues around language, some of the nuances of naming, and what we as non-Indigenous folk need to consider in our language use when referring to Indigenous peoples.

Should we be cancelling people? Is cancel culture toxic? Does it even really exist? In our season’s penultimate episode, we answer these questions and more. We talk alternative models of justice, tools of the powerless, and sprinkle on some communication theory for good measure. Before we get the chance to be cancelled, we're asking do the kids know about cancel culture?

This week we rant a bit on a topic that can unknowingly be the source of annoyance, pain, and frustration for many racialized people. We highlight the ways white women, along with the rest of us who hold power and privilege over others, can be better at being uncomfortable when faced with the ways that we unintentionally oppress others. This week we ask, Do the Kids Know About White Female Fragility?
As always, thank you for continuing to support us with your dollars and if there's a topic you'd like covered on the show, send us a message.
Until next week... stay in the know!

We all carry biases we inherit from the societies in which we live. In the context of the white supremacist nation -state that is KKKanada, often the biases tie in with race. Despite our best efforts, we are all exposed to and internalize racial prejudice. What does this mean and what does this look like? Let’s unpack it together.
Books mentioned on race and fatness:
Fearing the Black Body
Fat Girls in Black Bodies, Creating Communities of our Own
