‘Our Stories’, a new Indigenous focused show, will soon be debuting on Fanshawe’s student radio station. The show will be hosted by Fanshawe Radio Broadcasting alum, Ira Timothy, as well as Grand Chief, Joel Abram of the Oneida Nation of the Thames Settlement.
The half hour show will begin airing on Jan. 24, at 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Timothy said he agreed to host the show after being contacted by Broadcasting-Radio and Media Production Program Coordinator, Abe Kelledjian.
“I have a longstanding relationship with a lot of past professors,” said Timothy. “And he had the idea of…an Indigenous radio show because we want to have more diversity on the X.”
