  Introducing First America 22.06.2026 4хв

  We have been told the American Revolution was fought over taxation and representation. But the last entry of the Declaration of Independence focuses on the founding fathers' contempt for the “merciless Indian savages.” America celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding this year, and somehow, we’ve managed to skim right past that line. How does a whole country miss a point of its own founding document? That's the question Rebecca Nagle, an Indigenous author and the former host of Crooked’s This Land podcast, asks in her new show, First America. Alongside leading Native historians, Rebecca unveils how the founders’ treatment of Indigenous nations—and their resistance—shaped US democracy. From land expansion to human rights issues, First America reveals the real story of why the colonists rebelled, what kind of government they created, and how our current political moment was 250 years in the making.

  Origin Stories: Connie Walker Discusses Stolen 17.09.2025 32хв

  Hear more from Connie Walker in this week’s episode of Origin Stories. About Origin Stories Have you ever wondered how your favorite movie, book, podcast, TV series, or documentary came to be? Each week, veteran journalist Matthew Shaer sits down with a writer or director to unpack the creation of a work close to their hearts (and ours). The conversations cover everything — the frustrations and the joys, the setbacks and the breakthroughs. Intimate and eye-opening, Origin Stories is the ultimate podcast for anyone curious about the creative process. In this episode Connie Walker, the award-winning Cree journalist and host of Stolen, shares the backstory of Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's — her deeply personal investigation into Canada’s Indian residential school system. Reported while she was at Gimlet, then the biggest podcast company in the world, the series earned her both a Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody Award in the same year — the first podcaster to do so. To Connie, all great audio documentaries begin with a central question: “It doesn't have to be the question you end up asking the whole way through,” she explains. “But initially, you have to start with that.” Learn more about your ad choices.
