Quick note to let MEDIA INDIGENA patrons know that the show notes for one of my favorite episodes is now available, my conversation with Anishinaabe broadcaster Jesse Wente. It took place following the release of his personal essay about his treatment by police since he was a young man and what he fears could be in store for his children as they grow up.

The full transcript (the cost of which your support helps make possible) may now be viewed here:
