Episode HlG̱unahl (3) is all about learning X̱aad Kíl, the Massett or Northern dialect of the Haida language. The use of X̱aad Kast is a word play on "podcast." Gyáahlaang G̱udée means "radio" in X̱aad Kíl, literally "news coming from a box."
In this episode, Dr. Bedard details her own X̱aad Kíl learning journey, asking the question, what does it mean to learn your ancestral language, as a second language? This episode is a personal narrative, and includes excerpts from Jasḵwaan's doctoral thesis, "X̱aad Kíhlga Tla Guusuugiigaangsaang: A Haida Research Framework for Learning X̱aad Kíl." (SFU 2025).
The song sung and composed by Jasḵwaan is called "Yaahl Kíhlga Áayaagaa" Master Raven Speaker, in honour of her late father Kwiiyaans (Ken Bedard).
Correction* to first mention of late teacher Tsinii Stephen Brown, to clarify his X̱aad Kíl name was Sḵ'adada 'Léeygaa.
