It’s been a while.

Receiving callers for a program you are airing over the radio is one of the best feelings a broadcaster can go through. It’s because you know someone is actually listening. It doesn’t matter if 200 people call or even one. What matters most is knowing that someone is hearing and learning from the research and sources that you gathered. Although there wasn’t enough time to air all the callers that phoned in, we managed to squeeze in an individual wanting to share his story.

I love being schooled. What I mean by this is, no matter how much I think I know…I have no idea. My job keeps me on my toes, but if anything, it keeps me thirsty for more. Let me explain. Yesterday, I aired Straight Talk- an hour long ‘current affairs show that discusses issues that we care about in NAN and Treaty 3 areas.’

As more and more First Nation communities across the country are making national headlines for blockades and protests I often find myself questioning the need for them.

It’s hard to believe that I moved to Sioux Lookout 88 days ago.
