Podcast Playlist

In this episode of The CBC Podcast Showcase we're trying something different. Instead of picking three clips from three different shows, we're diving deep into one CBC Podcast. We turn the spotlight on Other People's Problems — CBC's resident therapy podcast. Normally, therapy sessions are totally confidential — but this podcast opens the doors with host Hillary McBride. She's a PhD candidate in counselling psychology at the University of British Columbia and the author of the book, Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image: Learning to Love Ourselves as We Are. Unlike other therapy podcasts, that feature one-off sessions between a therapist and a stranger, this one features stories of people who have been seeing McBride for a long time. She knows them, they trust her, and together they want to help demystify mental health.

This week on the podcast we’re sharing something new we’ve been working on: The CBC Podcast Showcase! The show that curates the best of CBC Podcasts and puts them all in one place.
