One Dish, One Mic

The best thing in a time of disagreement is to look for common ground in the interest of reasonable discourse...this show isn't that. Sean and Karl are right on the money though. If you don't think the opposition to Indigenous rights being practiced in Shorthills is super-racist then go listen to Drew Ackerman or something because this isn't your show. If you like to support fun, funny, informative urban Indigenous podcasters giving a modern take on what's wrong with some people who miss the point then click play now.

Language is important, language is special, and this week you can hear how language is fun. Megan General returns to show Sean and Karl what's up with her mad skills Mohawk Rap Battling! There is a special song in the top half of this episode that you will want to hear as well. Without sharing too much info it is safe to say no tupperware containers were harmed in the taping of this week's Dish on the Mic. Mitch Baird is also in this episode where we share how to say "Sheko" in our respective Indigenous languages.

"The question isn't do you have a gun, it's how many guns do you have?" explains Sean when describing the American pro-gun attitudes. In an era of fear is there an end to the US gun crisis? Sean and Karl with special guest Darcy Belanger share their take on guns in classic tongue-in-cheek style on the One Mic. How much does freedom cost? More and more it seems the answer may be at the end of barrel these days.

"We were there to fail," explains Sixties Scoop survivor and special guest Darcy Belanger. The Government created policy that made it easy to take children from their homes. They called it adoption, survivors call it cultural genocide. The connection was broken and while the Children's Aid Society is apologizing and the government is laying money on the table, there isn't a sum that justifies what happened to Darcy and others like him. This Sixties Scoop episode is one of the episodes you need to hear.

Mitch Baird joins Sean and Karl to dish on the One Mic about mascots. He patiently battled the Thorold Blackhawks and explains in detail how step by step they finally agreed to change the logo.

Have a laugh with Niagara's #1 Indigenous podcasters as we poke fun at the widely held and largely inaccurate stereotypes.

Sean and Karl turn over the rock that Lynn Beyak's ideas live under to expose the dark underbelly of racism. Whether it's Conrad Black, Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Andy Petrowski and his enablers, or now Lynn Beyak joining the old rich white guy club, we find ourselves living on the edge of a cultural tipping point. Sean uses his traveling thought for an important call out.

Branden Emmerson of Da-namaamin moseyang giw-ganchigaazjig kwewag visits from Neyaashiinigmiing Reserve No. 27 talks about some of the most pressing issues facing Indigenous people. Visiting for a presentation by hardworking allies Indigenous150+, he stops by the One Mic to tell a powerful and important story.

The idea of passing knowledge from one generation to the next is as ancient as any Indigenous tradition. How functional can Indigenous knowledge transfer really be in modern post-secondary institutions? We talk about school, education, and even chat about John A McDonald. Spoiler alert: he's got no fans on this panel.

Before there was Trump and the alt-right there was the comment section. Sean and Karl chat about the bowels of media. Trevor does an amazing impression of a troll.
