4. Finding Cleo [May not be school-appropriate and deals with the sensitive topic of Missing
and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls - Strong Trigger Warning]
Where is Cleo? It's a mystery her family has been trying to unravel for decades after the young
Cree girl was apprehended by child welfare workers in Saskatchewan in the 1970's. Her siblings
say she was stolen, and then raped and murdered while trying to hitchhike back home, her body
left at the side of the road somewhere in the United States. They have no idea where she is,
whether her name was changed, or if anyone has been charged in her murder.

2. What apps does Jade use to record her podcast?
3. What equipment does Jade use?
4. How does Jade share her podcast onto Apply, Spotify and Google?
APPLY: PLANNING YOUR PODCAST
Inform the class that they will have the opportunity to create their own podcast episodes. Ideally,
students should pair up to interview each other on their experiences engaging in the Music and
Recording unit! Each student can be a host of an episode, and practice editing their podcasts
and adding special effects as desired. This way each student will also have the opportunity to be
interviewed on their partner's podcast. Podcast episodes should be between 15-30 minutes long.
First, have students create a list of interview questions they will ask their partners.
Next, have students plan their introductions, describing the title of their podcast and about the
host.
