Late last summer, CBC Arts’ Lucius Dechausay was at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ont., with Mohawk poet Kahsenniyo Williams, and as you may remember from newsletters past, the result was this striking (and award-winning!) episode of Poetic License. A few days back, the piece brought home the gold at the 2022 Digital Publishing Awards, and the team here couldn’t be more proud. (So proud, in fact, that I’m gonna take this opportunity to push every episode of Poetic License that’s ever aired.)
Now, a look forward.
Have you seen what’s coming to CBC? A bunch of new shows were announced last week, and here’s a list of everything set for the 2022–23 schedule so far. On the artsy side of things, competition series Race Against the Tide and Best in Miniature will be returning; Stuff the British Stole, a CBC/ABC podcast, will soon become a CBC/ABC television series; Essex County, the acclaimed graphic novel by Jeff Lemire, will be adapted into a five-part drama; and Lido Pimienta, the Polaris-winning multi-hyphenate previously seen here, here, here and here is getting her own variety show on CBC Gem. The official log line for that one (Lido TV) promises music, comedy, animation, special guest stars (Nelly Furtado?!) … and puppets. I know which screener I’ll be requesting first, if only to see how they cram it all in. Curious about any of these titles (and want to tell me all about it)? You know what to do. As for CBC Radio, I can tell you what's happening on one show in the very, very, very near future: Pride Week on Q! From June 6–10, they’re celebrating some of the greatest LGBTQ entertainers working today, and a feature interview with Hannah Gadsby leads their all-star schedule. | | | And because we promised you eye candy ... | | |  | @romtoronto/Instagram | I realize summer hasn’t even begun, but is it so wrong to be thinking about fall already?
