   Riding Mountain National Park

   Did you know that one of our nicest parks has kind of an evil backstory? We'll be talking about how Park officials expelled actual Indigenous residents while welcoming in a famous fraudster, and the many forms of semi-coerced labour that were used in the development of the park.

   New from K-Tel!

   Winnipeg's K-Tel didn't just invent the compilation record or how we market products, but they maybe also inspired the Bluth family from Arrested Development? Come along as Producer Nick explains what K-Tel is (and was) to Sabrina and Alex. You may be surprised that K-Tel is still going strong today (just not in the way you'd expect).

   Andrew Carnegie and the Origins of the Winnipeg Public Library

   In 1905, Winnipeg built the first public library building with the words "Free to All" carved above the door. To get it built, though, there was a kerfuffle with the contractors, arguments with the architects, and a lot of posturing about a painting.
