Waubgeshig Rice, Jennifer David s new podcast Storykeepers is an audio book club on Indigenous lit

Jennifer David, Waubgeshig Rice Storykeepers, a new monthly podcast about Indigenous literature by co-hosts and authors Waubgeshig Rice and Jennifer David, aims to bring conversations about Indigenous books to a wider audience in an audio book-club format. “We are all story keepers in various senses,” says Rice, the Sudbury-based author of Moon of the Crusted Snow (ECW Press) and a member of the Wasauksing First Nation near Parry Sound, Ont. “It’s our responsibility collectively, as readers and as writers, to make sure that those stories go forth for future generations.” David, the Ottawa-based author of Original People, Original Television: The Launching of the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and a member of the Chapleau Cree First Nation in northern Ontario, first raised the idea of teaming up on a podcast about Indigenous books years ago when Rice was also living in Ottawa, but the timing wasn’t quite right.
