Radio Aluna Theatre joins the 2021 Hot Docs Podcast Festival

Radio Aluna Theatre will be featured in the 2021 Hot Doc Podcast Festival as part of the Opening Act program, sponsored by The Walrus Lab. In this program, two-minute excerpts from original Canadian shows are featured before a selection of virtual events at the 2021 Festival. 

Our 2 minute showcase will open Reclaiming True Crime with Connie Walker, streaming on January 28th at 1 pm EST. 

About the event:

“In her groundbreaking CBC podcast, Missing & Murdered, investigative journalist Connie Walker elevated the true crime genre to new creative heights, applying meticulous reporting and gripping, long-form storytelling to unforgettable portraits of Indigenous history and systemic racism in Canada. 

In this intimate master class, Connie joins the award-winning Anishinaabe author and journalist Tanya Talaga, host of the Seven Truths podcast on Audible, to discuss her editorial process, her highly anticipated new investigative series for Gimlet Media, and using the podcast medium to amplify the stories of women of colour who have been erased from history.” 

We’re honoured to be part of this event! 

Special shout out to The Secret Life of Canada podcast who are also part of the festival in 20 Questions with the Secret Life of Canada, streaming on demand throughout the festival. Co-host of the Secret Life podcast Falen Johnson can also be heard in a Conversatorio on North American Storytelling from Season 4.
