We are trying to get more folks who subscribe directly to the Pretty Much Pop podcast and not just listen to this on the partial exam and life feed, so the version that is there right now includes our normally supporter only after talk, which is always a fun time.

You can find that feed by searching Apple podcasts or wherever for pretty much pop or following links at pretty much pop.com.

This is Pretty Much Pop, a culture podcast, also for a little cuties grappling with issues of community and maturity.

Today we're talking about a reservation dog's, the dramedy, about indigenous teens created by Sterling Harjo and Haikawa TT that premiered in 2021 just wrapped up its third and final season.

I'm Mark Linton, I'm hoping for a spirit guide, but some catfish would be fine, I guess.

I'm Alpaca, I've extremely consistent quality, but wildly varying tone.

I'm Sarah Lynn Breck, on the mend after consuming too many stolen bags of flaming playmers hot chips.

I'm Lawrence Wehr, and I'm from Oklahoma, which is where this show is from.

Have you been on this kind of reservation? I was just listening to an interview with Sterling Harjo who grew up in Oklahoma to live in Oklahoma and says there are what, you know, a dozen tribes within, you know, spinning distance of Oklahoma City that they're not all considered reservations, but to the point of different languages on the street signs.

Yes, I have been in a place very similar to this. My family owns land in a place very similar to this, the Choctaw Nation, the big land area is not exactly like in a concentric area like this one is as people who are long time listeners of the podcast.

No, I am native. And so yeah, I know a lot about this kind of stuff.

Oh, all right. Wonderful show obviously and groundbreaking show thumbs up.

Yeah, groundbreaking in many ways, but who wants to start with something?

It seems like Al has disparaging things to say. So we should probably hear from him relatively here soon, but go ahead Sarah.

No, no, no, I think I wanted to hear what Sarah Lynn has to say because she's been talking about this show for ages.

I have been, I love this show so much. I did kind of wanted to maybe start with that sense of place that this show

gives us and how it sort of just drops us the viewer in without any context or anything like that other than what you may or may not know ahead of time about these communities.

I just wanted to hear what you guys had to say about the sense of place and how that really added to the whole feel of the show.

The show feels incredibly rooted in a particular reality.

And that's one of the things that strikes me most about it is it's really obviously there's not community.

Well, maybe maybe not obviously, but I don't happen to know any native Americans throwing a lot of them in Yorkshire.

So this is a culture that I know I know extremely little about and I'm extremely unfamiliar with.
