North of 60: The Show That Told the Truth Early
The fortyish & unfiltered Podcast by Matthew Morin
Episode notes
This episode started with a social media post — the kind that stops you mid-scroll because it’s casual, comfortable, and quietly racist. Not shouted. Not dramatic. Just said like everyone would agree.
And somehow, that moment dragged North of 60 back into my head.
So we talk about it.
Not as nostalgia. Not as a TV recap. But as a show that asked Canadians to sit with discomfort long before we had the language for it. A series that remembered what came before, let stories carry weight, and treated Indigenous lives as complex, human, and central — not background noise.
We get into the characters, the long story arcs, the filming locations, and why so many of the issues the show tackled decades ago are still sitting right in front of us today. Racism. Policing. Addiction. Leadership. Memory.
