Episode 21 - Interview w/ Waubgeshig Rice

Today in Graventown, I had the chance to chat with a fellow CBC alumni and someone I would run into frequently in my journalism days. Waubgeshig Rice is an Anishinaabe writer and journalist from the Wasauksing First Nation near Parry Sound, Ontario, in Canada and released his amazingly successful post-apocalyptic novel “Moon of the Crusted Snow” in 2018. Rice has been recognized for his work throughout Canada, including an appearance at Wordfest's 2018 Indigenous Voices Showcase in Calgary. The New York Times named Rice, alongside Cherie Dimaline, Rebecca Roanhorse, Darcie Little Badger and Stephen Graham Jones, as "some of the Indigenous novelists reshaping North American science fiction, horror and fantasy." It was lovely to chat with him today. Stay tuned for some spring and summer shows and please feel free to purchase my new album "Simple Complex" (mixed by Joel Plaskett) on my website. I feel the kind words and I'm loving the support. Be good to each other and please try to stay kind! I play live on Instagram every Thursday at 9 PM EST for Graventown. Come hang!#gravencanada#graventown#canadiansingersongwriterMy new album "Geographics" is out now on all platforms. You can buy the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album on my bandcamp page, (which helps me greatly) but I understand that cash is tight all over the map, so you can also order a five dollar Geographics sticker. 5 beans! This album is really special to me (as my friends Melissa Payne and Charles Austin played all over it) and I hope you'll come along for the supersonic ride. Follow me @gravencanada on all the socials, and check my website to see when I'm playing live in a town near you. Join Graventown today to support yours truly for only 8 clams a month.
