Congratulations –

CFUV - Something Else: Indigenophilopath (Coulee Ross)

Welcome to the Something Else universe. In Indigenophilopath, you will follow Indigenous protagonist Coulee as your tour guides into the triumphs and struggles of contemporary Indigenous peoples. The silence of a humming city sounds crashing into concrete and onto one another, the smells of the tide, cigarettes, and broken dreams permeate the air in Coulee's apartment... but tonight destiny knocks on Coulee's door. Will she take up arms and investigate these imposters again? A smoking gun, a presidential candidate, instant noodles...what is in store for our heroine?

The Something Else universe was born from a yearning to create the sanctuary the host Coulee's nervous system needed. It is a space where rage is celebrated, dreams are cultivated, rest is centered, and heroes are born. As its name suggests, this podcast is unlike any other; it pulls elements and action from our world now and skillfully weaves them into this narrated Indigenous futurism landscape. It is Coulee's wish that this marks the beginning of a very long, very ancient journey together, listener and storyteller.

The Something Else universe was created, written, voice-acted, soundscaped, produced, and edited by Kat "Coulee" Ross.

Original score and music by Riel8 of @the_r.a.p_.
