Unveiling the Vladem Contemporary, Santa Fe's newest museum

This week on “Conversations Different” we share a recent episode from “Voices of Taos,” a podcast produced by our sister paper The Taos News. Podcast producer Laura Martin Baseman sits down for a chat with longtime Santa Fe New Mexican reporter Robert Nott, who became communications director for the New Mexico Department of Health in June. Before leaving journalism, one of Nott’s last big projects was to contribute stories related to The New Mexican’s 175th anniversary. Nott talks about what stood out in his research as he flipped through nearly two centuries of the newspaper’s pages, including the murder of a fortune teller and the lack of stories related to Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project. Nott also shares his memories of former newspaper owner Robert McKinney, reflects on the industry changes he noticed in his time as a journalist and talks about the importance of local newspapers to their communities.

Longtime reporter Robert Nott discusses documenting 175 years of 'The New Mexican's' history

Every year around Christmas time, cultural traditions rise to the forefront as a force in Northern New Mexico’s holiday celebrations. It’s a time where families and communities come together. It's also a time to make and share traditional foods, including tamales, empanaditas and biscochitos. For former Santa Fe Mayor Larry Delgado and his family, this feeling is no different.

Delgado, who grew up and raised his children in Santa Fe, remembers the impact that Christmas traditions have had on his upbringing and later relationships with his family. He joins "Conversations Different" with his daughter Cynthia to discuss the many things they cherish about Northern New Mexico’s festiveness this season and from season’s past.

Ed Archie NoiseCat, a well-known Indigenous artist and former Santa Fe resident, was born and nearly died at the Indian residential school at St. Joseph’s Mission near Williams Lake, British Columbia. His son, Julian Brave NoiseCat, is co-director of “Sugarcane,” an award-winning documentary that investigates the abuses, deaths and missing children of the Canadian residential school system. The film made its world debut at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and is now streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

Julian Brave NoiseCat, who directed the film with investigative journalist Emily Kassie, joins “Conversations Different” to discuss the emotional experience of making the film and the fortuitous beginnings of the project. NoiseCat, a member of the Canim Lake Band Tsq'escen and descendant of the Lil'Wat Nation of Mount Currie, talks about how the death toll of the Indian residential schools is not just something of the past, but is still being experienced today. He also shares how working on the film impacted his relationship with his father, and talks about his family's ties to Santa Fe. He also touches on his role in the push to nominate Deb Halaand as Interior secretary, which led to her becoming the first Native American Cabinet secretary in U.S. history.
