Connie Walker on Stolen: Surviving St. Michael’s

from Origin Stories

Connie Walker, a veteran Cree journalist, was the first podcaster to win both the Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody Award in the same year. She talks about the backstory of “Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's," a deeply-personal investigation of the Canadian Indian residential school system, which she reported while at Gimlet, then the biggest podcast company in the world. To Connie, all great audio documentaries should hinge on “a question that you're trying to answer. It doesn't have to be the question that you end up asking the whole way through,” she says. “But initially, you have to start with that.”To connect with the team and gain access to behind the scenes content, join our community at ⁠joinoriginstories.com⁠.
