    FLASHBACK: CBC's David Common on catching scammers and the new Marketplace podcast

    This week we're sharing a repeat of one of our favourite episodes from October. As a foreign correspondent, David Common's reporting has taken him to more than 80 countries, including warzones in Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine.  But these days he's staying a bit closer to home. David has recently taken over hosting duties on CBC Radio's morning show in Toronto, Metro Morning. He's also the co-host of the consumer watchdog show, Marketplace, on CBC Television. Marketplace now has its very own podcast. This week on the show, David will tell us what it was like turning a TV show into a podcast, plus he'll share some of the podcasts in his rotation. Like the show Wind of Change: The song "Wind of Change" by The Scorpions was a massive hit at the end of the Cold War. But was it really written by the CIA? We'll hear about the surprising links between the agency and pop culture. All that and more on this week's episode. Featuring: Marketplace, The Secret Life of Canada, Wind of Change, War on the Rocks, Yo Is This Racist? For links and more info head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist.

    Jonathan the gay tortoise, a trans punk rock show and more stories for Pride Month

    This week on Podcast Playlist, we're celebrating Pride month.  In the proverbial starter pack of anti-gay slogans, there's one that has stayed consistent over the years: "It's just not natural!" The only problem with that...is according to science, same-sex relationships are extremely natural, occurring in all kinds of different animal species. We'll learn more about that from A Field Guide To Gay Animals. And we'll meet one very special gay animal: a Seychelles giant tortoise named Jonathan, who's believed to be the oldest living animal in the world.  Plus, on the queer music podcast Sounds Gay, we'll dive into the mosh pit at a trans punk rock show, and hear how music is connecting trans folks across generational lines.  All that and more, this week on Podcast Playlist.  Featuring: A Field Guide To Gay Animals, The Secret Life of Canada, Sounds Gay, Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows, Handsome, Gender Reveal For links and more info head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist.

    FLASHBACK: Jane Marie explores the MLM-to-life-coach pipeline

    This week we're sharing one of our favourite episodes from this season. Life coaches sell promises of prosperity, health and happiness. But do coaches actually help you achieve your goals? That's the question at the heart of Season 3 of The Dream. Having tackled pyramid schemes and the world of wellness, coaching seemed like an obvious topic to explore next. Host and creator Jane Marie says that in many ways coaching combines tactics used to sell products in both the multi-level-marketing and wellness industries. This week, Leah and Jane sit down to talk about the show and Jane's upcoming book Selling the Dream: The Billion Dollar Industry Bankrupting Americans. Plus, we'll listen to some of Jane's favourite podcasts.  FEATURING: The Dream, This American Life, My Year In Mensa, Where Should We Begin with Esther Perel For links and more info, head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist

    The first cyber-sleuth, why you shouldn't buy an island online, and more of our June favourites

    This week, we're sharing new and notable podcasts from June. First, Todd Matthews was one of the first internet sleuths. He made it his life's mission to give unidentified bodies back their names, and helped create two databases as part of that goal. For years, Todd was haunted by a cold case about two missing boys. One day, one of those boys called him.  The new podcast Hello, John Doe has that story. We hear from producer Kate Mishkin about working with Todd, making the show, and how an unexpected tragedy changed its meaning.  Plus, these days, it feels like online ads know exactly what we want—new shoes, the latest tech, a nine-acre island off the coast of Nicaragua… Or at least, that was the case for Jayne Gaskin. She was surfing the web one day when she saw a shockingly affordable island for sale. The price was just too good to pass up, so Jayne abandoned a quaint life in the English countryside and moved there with her entire family.  While Jayne initially thought that her dreams had come true, not everything was as it seemed. The podcast The Price of Paradise explores the violent consequences of Jayne's decision.  Featured in this episode: Hello John Doe, The Price Of Paradise, Who Killed The Video Star: The Story of MTV, Go Touch Grass, Mortified For links and more info, head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist

    The magic of storytelling with The Moth's Meg Bowles

    The Moth is one of the oldest shows in podcasting. In fact, it pre-dates the medium by several years, having begun in the founder’s living room in 1997.  Today, The Moth is an internationally touring live storytelling production and a popular podcast and radio show.  This week Leah sits down with The Moth’s senior director Meg Bowles to talk about The Moth’s new book, "A Point of Beauty: True Stories of Holding On and Letting Go," and about 27 years of helping everyday people bring their stories to life. Plus, we’ll have more storytelling podcasts. Like Mortified, where we’ll hear host David Nadelberg read an extremely cringey love letter he wrote as a teenager in front of a live audience.   All that and more, this week on Podcast Playlist. Featuring: The Moth, Grown, Mortified, Normal Gossip Check out our episode with Kelsey McKinney from Normal Gossip For links and more info, head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist

    Pitch, Please: George The Poet, Arshy Mann and Allan McLeod tell us about their podcasts

    This week, we’re asking three podcasters to pitch their show to listeners, and we’ll hear a sample of each one.   We’re starting with George The Poet. His show is called Have You Heard George’s Podcast? It’s won tons of awards, including a Peabody—and if you haven’t heard it, we promise you’ve never heard another show like it.  Then, Leah sits down with Arshy Mann, host of COMMONS, to talk about why the new season of his show is all about work — the jobs we do, the conditions we work in, and why things feel like they’ve gotten so much harder for working people.  Plus, actor and comedian Allan McLeod will tell us about his new show, Walkin’ About. It’s a loving and funny tribute to the simple act of walking, the places it can take us, and the people we do it with.  For links and more info, head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist.
