Métis in Space Season 3 Episode 6 - Lilo & Stitch

Have you ever listened to your favourite podcast and thought, "Holy cats, I could do something like that"? Well, you are absolutely right! Podcasting is on of the easiest and most accessible ways to create your own public media. Whether you educate, agitate, or just chat about your outrageously niche interests with some friends, podcasting can be a way to find and build community, resist this oppressive and deadening society, and become part of a long tradition of subversive public radio!

This four-part podcasting series was developed for Eve Tuck's course: "Decolonization, Settler Colonialism and Anti-Blackness", but is intended to be used by anyone interested in starting their own podcast!

Episode 1 of Commencing the Podcast Invasion is called: "Welcome to Podcasting: Oh the Places You'll Go." In it, one-half of Métis in Space (Chelsea Vowel) goes over some podcasting basics including: what is podcasting, who does it, who listens and why bother?

Chelsea would like it noted that she mixed up the Polka Dot Door with the Romper Room, and Molly would like it noted that she mixed up Mickey Rooney with Andy Rooney. Yeah, we go off on a few tangents in this one...

In Season 5, interlude 1 of otipêyimisiw-iswêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, we munch on breakfast carbs and down caffeine in order to recount our origin story, such as it is. Recorded to share with the Land Relationships Super Collective (http://www.landrelationships.com/), we decided that our MiS fans might want to hear we haven't fallen completely off the planet (unfortunately). Also, we realized we've told this story in a number of interviews, but never yet directly into your earholes!

Métis in Space - interlude - Origin Story

In Season 5 Episode 6 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Chelsea Vowel and Molly Swain put the otipêyimisiw in "their own bosses" and toss away the imaginary limitations of genre. Part 1 of a 2 part special pandemic interlude, your intrepid hosts showcase their Favourite Movie of All Time time time. This extra verbose 2 hour episode focuses on Molly's love of Jesus Christ Superstar. Extra heretical, blasphemous, and scatological, this episode is not for the faint of heart.

Don't hit us up at metisinspace[dot]com, metis.in.space[at]gmail[dot] come, Métis in Space on Facebook, or @Metis_in_Space on Twitter with any outrage about our religious opinions, but do feel free to send us sôniyâws for wine, chocolate, and robot-Jason-Momoa foot massages.

In Season 5 Episode 7 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Chelsea Vowel and Molly Swain reject all copaganda in favour of cops and Nazis getting smashed up by The Blues Brothers. Part 2 of a 2 part special pandemic interlude, your intrepid hosts showcase their Favourite Movie of All Time time time. Just over two hours focusing on Chelsea's love of The Blues Brothers. Extra EXTRA heretical (despite getting the Vatican seal of approval), more F-bombs than usual get dropped, maybe as many as the cop cars that get smashed in this film, so beware, this episode is NOT for the faint of heart!

In Season 5 Episode 8 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel introduce the world to one of their many premoirs; a film depicting actual events involving the two intrepid hosts, events which have not yet happened in this timeline. The buddy comedy, "The Spy Who Dumped Me," details the adventures Molly and Chelsea will have in Europe once this pandemic is finally over.

They also discuss dicks and full frontal nudity of all sorts for a really, really long time.

Atmospheric background noise (actually Molly's computer fan as her laptop gives up the ghost) adds annoying ambiance to this episode, making listeners want to rake jagged nails across their ears, but no amount of filters could get rid of it. Feel free to buy us a laptop for the show if you hate the awful damn buzzing.
