It's a Made in Manitoba debut this weekend on the program, as we literally connect with someone halfway around the world.

Laura Lucas is originally from Winnipeg, and currently calls Melbourne, Australia home while she attends the University of Melbourne to complete her PHd in anthropology. And asking Laura how that intellectual interest dovetails with her musical side is part of our conversation tonight, as well as getting to know her as a performer and singer-songwriter.

This is Made in Manitoba, and we've kicked off the debut of Laura Lucas on the program.
