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.

Hug The Moment

Leave a comment

Real people. Real problems. Right now.

show logoHug The Moment cuts through the noise of a distracted culture. It isn’t self-help, and it isn’t spin. It’s a half-hour of real presence, where ordinary guests name what they’ve lost, what they’ve learned, and how they keep showing up. Every episode circles the same truth: peace and meaning can only be met in the moment we live, never in the replay of the past or the projection of the future.

About the host

Douglas Ross is a Waterloo-based writer, spiritual director, and former political candidate known for bridging ideological gaps with candour and care. His life has spanned homelessness, public service, and pastoral accompaniment; he meets guests where they are because he’s been many places himself. Listeners trust his voice because it’s lived, not rehearsed.

Hug the Moment — Thirty minutes a week to stop pretending, slow down, and show up for the only life we have: the one unfolding right now.

Hug The Moment is hosted by Douglas Ross and airs on CKMS-FM on alternate Fridays from 3:30pm to 4:00pm starting 27 June 2025.

Syrup Moose Radio (black letters like grafitti, with the A in Radio like the Anarchism symbol, red A inside a circle with the legs, crossbar, and apex extending just beyond the circle)Syrup Moose Radio has a primary focus on heavier or more experimental music – though Brendan reserves the right to basically just play anything that strikes him. He also injects a lot of leftist views and values and provides commentary there, and occasionally interviews. Though it is predominantly a music show.

Syrup Moose Radio is hosted by Brendan, is syndicated on CKMS-FM and airs on Tuesdays from Midnight to 2:00am.
