    Hello HumpeeeerrrrZ! 



    In this episode we have a special guest, someone both Mister & Sim grew up here with in Iqaluit, Teresa Qiatsuq who is a Reporter/Editor at CBC. She is a mother of one, and an absolute powerhouse of a woman! We were very happy to have Teresa here to talk about her childhood experiences in Nunavuts foster care system, and her journey from the Inuktitut Interpreter/Translator course at Nunavut Arctic College to landing her job at CBC! 



    We hope you all enjoy this episode we believe this was our most enjoyable episode, we covered SO much ground and caught up on so many old stories and can’t wait to hear what you guys think🤍
