Live Show at McGill听
Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel land their spaceship at McGill for a live show of their podcast听M茅tis in Space.听In their own words, Molly and Chelsea are听"unapologetically Indigenous, unabashedly female听& unblinkingly nerdy".

They will be screening an episode of a classic science fiction show giving some insightful commentary and opening the floor up for a discussion with the audience which will be recorded and released as a future episode.听
