TF009 Nunavut: The Raven Jokester - a podcast by Mike Tod

Charlie Panigoniak, much like the raven in Inuit stories, was a jokester. The Nunavut country-folk legend, who passed away earlier in 2019, soared to ‘territorial’ heights starting in the 1970s as a beloved entertainer and storyteller that shared the Inuit lifestyle through his often-humorous songs. Despite being a household name in the territory, he’s a songwriter that never really got his due with the rest of Canada. This episode is all about Panigoniak, detailing his life growing up on the nuna (tundra/land), to his recordings, the meanings of his songs, and the amusing antics behind the music.
