When Big Brother Canada Season 9 debuted on Global TV last month, tons of people from across our region tuned in for the first time to see CFNR’s own Midday host, Kiefer Collison battle it out with 13 others for a shot at $100,000.
His challenges are abundant in the BBCan house, with physical and mental competitions being thrown at the contestants every week, as well as having to deal with the very real emotional toll of being away from his family and friends, isolated from the rest of the world, and surrounded by a bunch of strangers who could potentially stab you him in back at any given moment in what’s called a “backdoor” eviction.

Our guest is Brett Huson, the author of a series of children’s books called “Mothers of Xsan”, a writer and artist who grew up traditionally on Gitxsan territory, but now lives a few provinces over, working at the Prairie Climate Centre at the University of Winnipeg.
His gig there is very important and compelling – connecting Indigenous knowledge to science. It’s VERY cool. We’ll get to learn more about how he does that in our interview, as well as about his books, and who his biggest influences are.

Church House Blues is the 4th Blues album released by Crystal Shawanda, a former country music artist turned blues musician, with plenty of accolades behind her.
With her latest record, she’s earning even more well-deserved praise, thanks to a couple of Juno nominations, including for best Indigenous artist, as well as best Blues album.
In this interview, Crystal joins us from her home in Nashville Tennessee, where she’s been isolating with her family since leaving Canada a few months after the pandemic hit.
Not only will we get to find out what Crystal’s been up to since we spoke last summer, but we’ll also get to hear a couple of her favorite tracks from Church House Blues, including a very special cover of one of the Tragically Hip’s biggest hits.
