Incredibly Interesing

I will admit, I'm already a huge fan of James Vukelich, so I knew I was goin to enjoy this before I even listened to it. I love how each episode centres around an Ojibwe word, and it's significance. Great bite sized introduction to the language and culture. James has an uncanny ability of making you re-evaluate your entire life with a single word.
