Side Quest is a podcast about learning together. Gathered in a circle around the fire, an Elder and a group of youth come together to share stories, laughter, food, and honest conversation. Through listening, reflection, and plenty of banter, the group explores culture, history, and truth and reconciliation — not as a lesson, but as a lived experience. Each episode is shaped by the land, the voices in the circle, and the understanding that learning doesn’t always follow a straight path. Sometimes it’s serious, sometimes it’s funny, and sometimes it’s just about being together. Episode one is about meeting each other, setting the tone, and creating a space where listening comes first. This is Side Quest — a journey of curiosity, connection, and learning side by side. This podcast is funded by VIDEA and the Government of Canada.
