The Secret Life of Canada

Goodbye for now!

People don’t think Graham Isador is losing his sight. They think he’s an asshole. Short Sighted is an attempt to explain what vision loss feels like by exploring how it sounds. Written and hosted by master storyteller Graham Isador, the show’s mini episodes are an intimate and irreverent look at accessibility and its personal impacts. Get lost in someone else’s life. From a mysterious childhood spent on the run, to a courageous escape from domestic violence, each season of Personally invites you to explore the human experience in all its complexity, one story — or season — at a time. This is what it sounds like to be human. More episodes of Personally are available at: <a href="lnk.to/SASSIAq9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lnk.to/SASSIAq9</a>

The Secret Life of Canada Introduces | Personally: Short Sighted

Ah, the smell of fry bread, bright regalia, and vendors selling everything from dreamcatchers to expensive jewellery — the modern day powwow is really a feast for the senses. But did you know we can trace the roots of these gatherings to dodgy medicines and even old wild west shows? And how do you pronounce scone dog? Falen and Leah take to the powwow trail to find out what the powwow was and what it is now, and how it is helping some connect to culture.  Check out our episode on the history of blackface <a href="lnk.to/721lEG" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.And check out our episode on the potlatch ban <a href="lnk.to/uNnhPD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.
