The program debuted in September 2014, as a regional program airing in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, Yukon and the Northwest Territories.[2] It was added to the full national schedule beginning August 30, 2015.[2] Although CBC Radio has aired numerous short-run summer series on Indigenous culture in Canada, including ReVision Quest, New Fire and Trailbreakers, Unreserved is the network's first permanent regular-season series on First Nations issues and culture since The Dead Dog Café Comedy Hour concluded its run in 2000.[2] It was hosted by Rosanna Deerchild from its inception until 2020, and was then taken over by Falen Johnson.[3]

Figures profiled on the series to date have included Murray Porter, Tantoo Cardinal, Nathaniel Arcand, Perry Bellegarde, Don Amero, Christa Couture, Paul Seesequasis and Candy Palmater.[2]
