I make no secret about my goal of breaking into Indian Country down in the US to spread the good work of my comedy.

a couple of weeks ago i was honoured to be a part of the cbc radio series – NDN ACTION. i was asked by a kick ass producer, ruth shead (@ruthlesstravels on twitter), at the cbc to be a part of the series as they were profiling a handful of indian people around manitoba that are taking action to make change/create change/be the change in their communities. it was a fantastic interview and we talked for nearly an hour about a whole bunch of different things. i generally hate talking about myself but ruth had a sensibility and an understanding that i hadn’t experienced with the media before – a breathe of fresh air really.
