Lacking the knowledge of non-eurodecendants
Every episode I see makes me so excited to listen to, but invariably I finish the episode extremely disturbed and upset by the predominantly white colonial view. Every episode speaks about Indigenous people, but often in the past tense and/or with distorted explanations and views that reduce Indigenous perspectives through the lens of settlers. The podcasts are so lacking the voices of expertise and lived experience of Indigenous Peoples to the point that they replicate settler colonial American narratives of supremacy and claims of culpability. I can’t listen anymore and I beg the makers to do better. Reach out to more Indigenous knowledge keepers, include their sciences and explanations, follow the example of other non-indigenous podcasters who do the work of teaching themselves what colonialism has erased and offer that critical analysis into the show’s framing and narration. Noting that the deep geological time episode does include a Chickasaw artist, but the discussion does nothing for to correct the numerous errors earlier in the episode.

And not just 1 one atlernative view, but often conflicting...Read full review »
