The Indigenous Screen Office (ISO) has announced the nine podcasts funded through the second year of its Podcasting Program.

Through the ISO Story Fund, a total of $200,000 is being invested in the 2024–25 fiscal year, supporting the development and creation of podcasts by Indigenous screen-based and audio storytellers. This year’s recipients include six projects based in Ontario and three in B.C.

Among them are Season 3 of Auntie Up! – a celebration of Indigenous women – hosted by Tanya Talaga, Kim Wheeler and Jolene Banning, as well as Criminals on Patrol, a podcast from Mi’kmaq lawyer, professor and author Dr. Pam Palmater diving into the seedy underbelly of law enforcement in North America.
