| 9/17/25 |  Origin Stories: Connie Walker Discusses Stolen | Hear more from Connie Walker in this week’s episode of Origin Stories. About Origin Stories Have you ever wondered how your favorite movie, book, podcast, TV series, or documentary came to be? Each week, veteran journalist Matthew Shaer sits down with a writer or director to unpack the creation of a work close to their hearts (and ours). The conversations cover everything — the frustrations and the joys, the setbacks and the breakthroughs. Intimate and eye-opening, Origin Stories is the ultimate podcast for anyone curious about the creative process. In this episode Connie Walker, the award-winning Cree journalist and host of Stolen, shares the backstory of Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's — her deeply personal investigation into Canada’s Indian residential school system. Reported while she was at Gimlet, then the biggest podcast company in the world, the series earned her both a Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody Award in the same year — the first podcaster to do so. To Connie, all great audio documentaries begin with a central question: “It doesn't have to be the question you end up asking the whole way through,” she explains. “But initially, you have to start with that.” Learn more about your ad choices.
