One Great History - Podcast

Every Winnipegger who’s left knows the feeling: the city comes up in conversation, and an outsider comments about how cold it is, how there’s nothing to do, how it’s not very interesting at all. The Winnipegger’s blood starts to boil. "Hey," the Winnipegger thinks, "only we can say that." "I feel like it’s like having a kind of weird cousin," historian Sabrina Janke says on the first episode of One Great History, a new podcast about the Manitoba capital. "I can make fun of them, but you can’t." "Don’t you dare," co-host and fellow historian Alex Judge interjects.
