Explicit content warning
09/27/23 • 81 min
Today we meet the very first X-File, opened in 1946 in Montana, and party with werewolves, taxidermy, and horses. We also have a big conversation about what (always) happens when non-Native writers tell stories about Indigenous communities. Spoiler alert: it ain’t great!
Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Shapes" a scary rating of 1.5/5 Awooos
