We're back, baby, with 8 lives to spare.

Why?

Because some people got to see the new cool as a fan TV series, "Dark Winds", and we got to inquire with these bonafide media critics about it. Y'all know we had to come back for this.

In this episode our baby boy has come back home to us. After a brief stint of doing some real movie stuff, Jason Asenap has returned.

And not just that -- we gots us a special guest. Another real life critic who hails from Geek Girl Authority and goes by the handle:

Noetta Harjo.

We are so lucky that she has decided to slum it with us lowly poddycast folks.

Since Jason and Noetta are real life critics, they got to watch the new AMC show "Dark Winds". And they come here to spill the beans about what they saw.

Then after our chat, our real life journalist, Angela Startz, puts on her journalistic hat and talks about the time she hung out at a virtual roundtable discussion with Jessica Matten, Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, Chris Eyre and Graham Roland -- the acting people, creators and storytellers of "Dark Winds".

The discussion was sponsored by the great folks at the Native American Journalist Association (NAJA).

This is kind of a long episode so hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening.
