  • A Short History of House Barns with Roland Sawatsky
    Dec 1 2025

    Send us a text

    After a few consecutive episodes that leaned into some darker stories in Mennonite history, we’re pleased to bring you something on the lighter side.

    To air on Sunday, Nov. 30 we bring you… (drumroll )… A Short History of House Barns! Join me and Roland Sawatsky, curator at the Manitoba Museum and past curator at the Mennonite Village Museum in Steinbach, as we reveal that a house barn is (!SPOILER ALERT!) “a barn connected to a house,” how far back we can trace the history of these structures, what a GANK is — and oh, so much more. While we might take these buildings for granted, I was surprised at what we can learn about how people have interacted with and constructed these homes for people and animals.

  • Who Was Nestor Makhno? (Part 2)
    Nov 17 2025

    Send us a text

    Today, we bring you Part 2 of a 3-part series on Nestor Makhno, a Ukrainian anarchist revolutionary during the civil uprisings of the late 1910s. Part 2 focuses on the terrible Eichenfeld Massacre on Nov. 8, 1919, when well over 100 Mennonites were executed by Nestor Makhno's men. More Mennonites were murdered in surrounding villages. Did Nestor Makhno attend these events? Why couldn’t he better control his troupes?

    These are just a few of the questions we ask historian Sean Patterson, who has been studying Makhno and his movement for fifteen years.
