Something Else (AI generated image of a woman of colour holding a sea shell)Something Else

Winner of the 2024 Neskie Manuel Award for Aboriginal Affairs and Culture Programming!

Hi, I’m Coulee – welcome to the Something Else universe. In this podcast you will follow three Indigenous protagonists as your tour guides into the triumphs and struggles of contemporary Indigenous peoples. The something else universe was born from a yearning to create the sanctuary my own nervous system needed. It is a space where rage is celebrated, dreams are cultivated, rest is centered, and heroes are born. Just as its name suggests this podcast is unlike any other, it pulls elements and action from our world now and skillfully weaves them anew in this narrated Indigenous futurism landscape. It is my wish that this marks the beginning of a very long, very ancient journey together, listener and storyteller.

In a recent country wide poll on turtle island indigenous peoples were excluded from the stats, making them categorical “something else”. As Indigenous people the popular belief is that we live somewhere between marginalized and extinct. This podcast invites the listener deep into the space between the lines, outside the margins, it embraces… “other”.

The something else universe was created, written, voice acted, soundscaped, produced and edited by me, Kat “Coulee” Ross. Special thanks to the staff and volunteers at CFUV 101.9FM. Original score and music by Reil8 of @the_r.a.p_ Artwork generated by AI programs, Midjourney and DALL-E.

Something Else has only three episodes, hosted by Coulee Ross. The episodes aired on CKMS-FM on Wednesdays from 11:00am to Noon on 7 and 21 January, and 4 February 2026.

She Is Your Neighbour, Shows, Syndicated

She Is Your Neighbour

In 2019, Moving Beyond Violence (words around a blue circle with a silhouette of a dragonfly)She Is Your Neighbour was launched in the form of a blog series and social media campaign. Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region (WSCWR) asked community leaders to share their perspectives on domestic violence and explain why they are invested in ending it. These community leaders became ambassadors of the She Is Your Neighbour project. Together, WCSWR and these leaders explored different types of abuse and challenged the misconception that domestic violence refers only to physical violence. Many ambassadors shared stories of emotional, psychological, and financial violence that they have witnessed or experienced.

In fall 2020, the She Is Your Neighbour podcast was released! In the podcast, WCSWR takes a deep dive into domestic violence. Through thought-provoking discussions WCSWR addresses hard topics like domestic violence and the drug trade, violence against Indigenous women and girls, challenges for transgender youth seeking support, and more.

Season Two was produced in 2021. Throughout this season, we build on topics we explored in Season One and fill in the blanks by covering new topic areas. Join us as we explore the realities and complexities of domestic violence.

Our goal is to increase awareness and understanding of domestic violence through thought-provoking discussions, highlighting groups who are disproportionately impacted. We all have a role to play in ending domestic violence.

She Is Your Neighbour is hosted by Jenna Mayne.

She Is Your Neighbour is now in its seventh season, and re-airing on CKMS-FM on Tuesdays from 10:00am to 11:00am starting with Season One in April 2025.

Hello there!

NCRA-ANREC (stylized illustration of a hand holding an old-style microphone with a blue sunburst behind)

CKCU-FM 93.1 (circular logo divided into quarters, alternating black and white)

Farm Radio International / Radios Rurales Internationales (illustration of a microphone with leaves at the base on a green background, text in a circle around it) As we gear up to celebrate World Radio Day on Thursday, 13 February 2025, we are excited to invite you to a significant event that underscores radio’s vital role in uniting communities across Canada and beyond. We were thinking you could provide some valuable information and interesting discussion during this event on our live-to-air, syndicated radio show and in-person event.

After last year’s event, the NCRA/ANREC, CKCU‑FM and Farm Radio International are collaborating once again to bring you an environmentally focused live-to-air broadcast. With this year’s theme being “Radio and Climate Change” we hope to showcase the transformative power of radio in promoting dialogue, fostering cultural diversity, and giving a voice to underrepresented communities.

What to expect

If you’re attending in-person at Carlton University in Ottawa, there will be snacks with radio peers alike and a live broadcast by CKCU‑FM. This is an event that aims to bring industry professionals together, as well as politicians, to showcase the power of radio.

The event will take place at Carleton University from 11:00am to 2:00pm EST on Thursday, 13 February 2025. Lunch will be provided free of charge. CKMS‑FM Radio Waterloo will be simulcasting the event with CKCU‑FM.

How to Participate

Attend in person and be live on air for a quick discussion.

This discussion can touch on the theme “Radio and Climate Change” or another relevant theme to community radio, and our celebration could take 5 to 10 minutes.

If you wish to attend, registration is free, but you need food numbers. Please reserve your spot.

If you cannot attend but would still like to show your support, we ask that you take the time to tune in and show support for your favourite local radio station, campus radio, public broadcast, or a special program that day.

We look forward to seeing you on World Radio Day.
Warm regards,

Barry Rooke
Executive Director NCRA/ANREC

September 30, 2024 is the fourth federal statutory holiday to honour residential and day school Survivors. Radio Waterloo and the Illustration of three birds, yellow, orange, brown, flying in a circle divided into four arcs.National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR), in partnership with the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation, will be broadcasting a 90-minute fully-bilingual live broadcast event to mark the day. This is an opportunity for you to hear from Survivors, and to help to further reconciliation efforts.

The gathering will be broadcast live from Parliament Hill in Ottawa between 3:00pm-4:30pm Eastern Time on Monday, 30 September 2024.

This is an opportunity to amplify the voices of survivors through the only live broadcast National event to commemorate this important day. This broadcast pays tribute to the children who never made it home from residential schools and honours those who survived. This deeply-moving gathering will encompass sacred ceremony, powerful reflections from esteemed Elders and Survivors as well as moving performances from First Nations, Inuit and Métis artists.

The event itself is open to the public and will draw thousands of Canadians together in a gesture of healing.

The event, shaped by the NCTR’s Survivor’s Circle, is held partly in response to the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (CTA #85) and the Calls for Justice from the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (CTJ#6.1).
