On this episode of We're All Mad Here, we bring you deep into our conversation about whether or not we can celebrate National Indigenous History Month given all that we know about, well, Canada.

My partner Madeline and I have decided to join forces to bring you a podcast with a wide-open format featuring conversations, interviews, medium-ish dives into news and pop culture, and other loose rantings on all the things that are pissing us off on any given day.Madeline is funny and charming and smart and truly is my better half. She always has insightful and important things to say about everything. I’m glad I convinced her to join me in making this podcast series.I say fuck a lot and have produced a similar project (Ryan McMahon Gets Angry) before. When thinking about the next podcast series I wanted to produce, I wanted to keep the format loose, continue to say fuck, and overall, I just wanted to have fun.Together, we’re working to blend our families in an intentional and good way, raising our son and building a beautiful life. One thing that really works in our relationship is our conversations - they’re open and frank. When we get the house quiet at night, we often sit in our den and chat late into the night. We don’t always agree (she’s Mohawk, and I’m Ojibway, know what I’m sayin’), and our chats are always excellent. Ultimately, we often arrive at what feels like a brand-new place together. This is what we’re aiming to do with We’re All Mad Here - bring our audience to brand-new places and understandings through curiosity, conversations, love, and humour.
