Episode 25: Ryan McMahon on comedy, decolonization, and podcasting; G7 Radio 002

Boo! It’s October, which means another terrifying Halloween episode! This month we visit the home of Anishinaabe/Metis comedian and podcaster Ryan McMahon (@RMComedy) – which, like most homes in North America, is probably built on a haunted ancient Indian burial ground. We chat with Ryan about his stand-up comedy and his Red Man Laughing podcast; how Idle No More has influenced his work; the history of colonization in Canada; and how we might work towards a more just and sustainable future. Then, on the second installment of G7 Radio, we discuss Consolidated’s artistically-advanced yet commercially-untenable 1997 album “Dropped”.Episode LinksRyan McMahonRed Man Laughing Live on CBCDancing On Our Turtle's BackIndian & CowboyConsolidated - "Dropped"Consolidated - "Business of Punishment"Episode MusicTanya Tagaq – UjaConsolidated – Schnitzel BoyConsolidated – Fractured FairytalesConsolidated – Shell
