The first on our list isn’t a single podcast but an online media platform ‘at the intersection of Indigenous storytelling, digital media and technology’. Indian & Cowboy features a several engaging and creative podcast worth a listen.

Next up on our Summer listening list is Common Law Radio. Based in Vancouver, each episode of Common Law Radio covers in-depth a current and topical legal issue relevant to British Columbia and Canada. Each episode includes the perspectives of the lawyers and individuals involved in the issue. Below are a sampling of the episodes:
- Indigenous Law and Prisoners’ Rights (featuring UVic Law Professor, Val Napoleon)
