Welcome to Wósdéé podcast. My name is Majerle Lister. This podcast will be focused on discussions I believe are important to Diné people. I can say for certain that there will be a plethora of topics discussed ranging from politics to comic books. 

My goal is to discuss and navigate the current topics on and off the Navajo Nation. The name of the podcast comes from the Navajo translation of “come in”. Growing up with my grandparents, I remember clearly the routine of visitors knocking on the door and my grandmother yelling “woshdee”. This initiated a discussion over cookies and coffee. I felt it be captured the sentiment as well as the goal of this podcast. 

In a way, this podcast is dedicated to my grandparents who instilled the importance of listening and learning.

The podcast will include contributions from friends of mine interviewing other folks. It will also include the podcast episodes of Tlo'chi'iin News. Those podcast will be labeled differently. 

The music used for episode 1-14 was produced by @PurpleCatsInSlacks and used with their permission. Artwork for Tlo'chi'iin photo is also created by @PurpleCatsInSlacks. Thanks homie!
