At The End Of The Day with Hannah Sung

Brittlestar, or Stewart Reynolds, is known as the Internet’s Favourite Dad. Stumbling into becoming a content creator as a second career, he has been making viral videos for almost a decade. His videos channel his comedic dad persona while touching on poignant and explosive topics–for example, calling out anti-vaxxers. In this episode, I ask Stewart for advice on how to be very public with opinion, and personality, in a world that is not always hospitable to hot takes (yes, I’m looking at you, social media).Relevant links:Subscribe to my newsletter: www.endoftheday.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/at_the_eod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ateod  Brittlestar on Twitter: @brittlestarwww.brittlestar.com/ Brittlestar Video - “Reasons Not To Get The Vaccine”: https://twitter.com/brittlestar/status/1371187206388338693

Anti-Indigenous racism is built into the foundation of Canada. The more truthfully we face that fact, the better we can take up our ongoing obligation to combat it (if you’re non-Indigenous, like me, I’m looking at you).  But when it comes to having conversations about Canada’s colonial past and present, it can be hard to know where to start. I asked two educators to join me today, who each have expertise in doing this with different audiences.  Our first guest is Kelly Brownbill, who teaches workshops with the goal of healthy, equitable relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and communities. Our second guest is Madelaine McCracken from the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society, whose work is geared towards children. Between the two of them, I hope you get lots of actionable takeaways today. Resources:Kelly Brownbill’s WebsiteFirst Nations Child and Family Caring SocietyEducational Resources on the FN Caring Society websiteGoodMinds.com First Nations, Métis and Inuit BooksAssembly of First Nations : Dismantling the Doctrine of DiscoveryRelevant links:Subscribe to my newsletter: www.endoftheday.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/at_the_eod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ateod

Eliza Reid is the First Lady of Iceland. However, I know her from twenty years ago, when we were friends living in the same university dorm.Clearly, Eliza’s life has taken twists and turns, so I wanted to talk to her about how to jump into a whole new kind of life–which is what she’s done by learning a language and culture and starting over in a different country. We also talk about Eliza’s new book called Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland’s Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World, and what we may be able to learn from Iceland. Relevant links:Subscribe to my newsletter: www.endoftheday.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/at_the_eod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ateod Eliza’s book: Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland’s Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World
