 Easter weekend music, digging into the Britannia Mine Museum, and storytelling with Kung Jaadee NXNW March 30, 2024 | Hopping into your inbox, it's the NXNW newsletter! Margaret Gallagher will return next weekend. Jeremy Ratt will be your host for this Saturday's show, and it's a thoughtful one.
We're speaking with a Calgary filmmaker, North Vancouver City Library's Indigenous storyteller in-residence, and we’ll be closing out this year's March Museums series with a chat about the Britannia Mine Museum!
NOTE: We won't have an NXNW show this Sunday. In its place, we’ll be bringing you Heart Language from Whitehorse with host Jared Monkman. The program will weave stories and conversations about language, and how it nurtures, connects and sustains us. Heart Language runs from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. PT.
