I was one of the podcast producers for “Native Artist,” a project of Koahnic Broadcast Corporation’s Indigefi. I was responsible for producing the episodes featuring Christopher Auchter (Filmmaker and animator, Haida) Jeremy Dutcher (composer and musician, Tobique First Nation).

I really enjoyed getting to meet these Indigenous artists in their natural element. The produced episodes are just a portion of the conversations I had with them about their origins, passion, conflicts and techniques. What they had to say was inspirational and I hope the audience gets that, too.

I also really enjoyed the editing process because I was able to gather various types of audio beforehand. Once I got a handle of the format, I was able to add some color to the piece and be creative in the editing process; which is something I don’t always have time for as a producer.
