Radio Free Winnipeg

The Divided Prairie City is a comprehensive study into income inequality across Winnipeg's neighbourhoods between 1970 - 2010. In this episode we talk to Andrew Kaufman of the Institute for Urban Studies here at the University of Winnipeg, and the study's editor. This episode originally aired on CKUW 95.9FM in Winnipeg on October 11, 2015.

Adele Perry (@adeleperry) is a 19th Century Historian at The University of Manitoba and author of Colonial Relations: The Douglas-Connolly Family and the Nineteenth-Century Imperial World, published by Cambridge University Press. In episode 2 she sits down with us to talk about Winnipeg’s early problems with typhoid, the Greater Winnipeg Water District, and how the construction of the aquaduct that now supplies Winnipeg with water led to the dispossession of Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. This episode originally aired on CKUW 95.9FM in Winnipeg on Sunday September 27, 2015.

On our first episode we discuss what you can expect from Radio Free Winnipeg, and talk to Monique Woroniak, Tasha Spillet and Liz Carlson, three of the women behind groundworkforchange.org, a website to support solidarity and just relationships with Indigenous peoples. We cap off the episode with “I Pity The Country” by Willie Dunn, from the compilation album Native North America: Aboriginal Folk, Rock, and Country 1966–1985.
