Continuing the theme of alternative media we sat down with Anishnaabe/Métis comedian, writer, and podcaster Ryan McMahon. McMahon is the host of the podcast Red Man Laughing and runs the Indian & Cowboy podcast network. His work has been featured on Just For Laughs, CBC, and Vice.

Though Red Man Laughing started as an outlet for his comedy work, McMahon has dedicated the most recent season of Red Man Laughing to the concept of reconciliation, which he has been exploring through a series of talks and interviews with prominent Indigenous voices.

For our fifth episode we turn the microphones around to speak with the folks behind the everyday operation of CKUW in interviews with station manager, Rob Schmidt; program director, Robin Erickson; volunteer coordinator, Victoria King; and news director, Michael Welch, about community radio and how it fits into the media landscape.
