How post-traumatic stress led one paramedic to a new mission

Miles Randell says years of working as a Vancouver paramedic led to post-traumatic stress that left him “unemployable.” When the help he needed wasn’t there, he created TEAAM (Technical Evacuation Advanced Aero Medical), a non-profit that deploys helicopters to provide advanced life support in some of the most rugged locations in B.C.’s wilderness. But TEAAM is also a workplace where health-care workers are encouraged to care for their mental health - a story that we’re proud to re-air as the 2025 Mindset Award winner for workplace mental health reporting.

My Brain Turned Into the Devil at Age 12 | Severe ADHD & Alcoholism

What happens when your internal monologue switches from a storybook narrator to a demonic bully at age 12? Live from downtown Halifax, the guys sit down with Melly, a student association president who perfectly masked severe ADHD until a shocking diagnosis at age 43. Before finding out how her brain actually worked, Melly spent her 20s and 30s chasing dangerous dopamine hits just to make that inner voice shut up. We’re talking drinking seven days a week , regularly going home with strangers , and hopping right back into a truck bed the day after a drunk driver flipped it and nearly killed her. She even moved to Malaysia for a decade to teach scuba diving, purely because being deep underwater was the only place she could find true, beautiful silence. Melly gets brutally honest about the decades of self-love she lost to internal misery , using her role in student government to check on the peers who look completely fine but are privately drowning , and how her neurodivergence gave her the absolute fearlessness to solo-travel the globe.

Surviving Cancer Only to Get Decapitated by Wyoming

What would you do if you moved out to LA at 18 to chase your dreams, but got handed a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis and a 5-year expiration date instead? Our guest Aria fought through chemo, radiation, and 16 separate surgeries, and actually beat it. But the universe wasn’t done with her. After just two months of remission, the cancer moved to the temporal lobe of her brain, and doctors gave her one year to live. Spoiler alert: she didn't die. Aria decided to surrender to whatever was going to happen and somehow beat terminal brain cancer. But just when she thought she was in the clear, celebrating her one-year cancer-free anniversary on a road trip to Wyoming, she passed out at the wheel and crashed her car at 80 mph. The impact shattered her occipital bone, essentially detaching her skull from her spine. She woke up completely blind, unable to speak, and unable to walk. Buckle up (literally and figuratively) for a real life Final Destination style episode. Aria is a radiant, unkillable badass, and this conversation is a masterclass in fearless resilience.

On Drugs Introduces: Hunting the Suicide Salesman

Following the critically acclaimed series Hunting Warhead, Season 2: Hunting the Suicide Salesman follows host Daemon Fairless as he takes us inside another dark corner of the internet: the online world helping people take their own lives. When people around the world started killing themselves with an obscure substance a few years ago, police were unaware that something – someone – was tying many of these deaths together. It took grieving families and investigative journalists to piece together what was actually happening and to trace the source of the substance – first, to an online suicide forum and then, to a salesman in Canada: Kenneth Law. Police believe he sent more than 1200 shipments to 41 countries… and may be connected to more than 145 deaths around the world. More episodes of Hunting the Suicide Salesman are available wherever you get your podcasts, and here: https://link.mgln.ai/HTSSxOD

Fighting for better births

What if birth care put women and babies first? Dr. Michael Klein’s guiding question came from the Ethiopian midwives who let him “catch” his first babies during a gap year in med school. It would go on to shape his lauded career in pediatrics and family medicine—and challenge medical dogmas like routine episiotomies. His research helped show the once-common procedure often did more harm than good, helping drive a major shift in maternity care. On the occasion of his death on June 10, 2026, we're revisiting our remarkable 2018 conversation with the self-described “Dissident Doctor.”

How might a social media ban affect my child's mental health?

Canada's Bill C-34 aims to restrict social media access for people under the age of 16. Supporters say it could help reduce rising rates of depression, anxiety and social isolation. But Dr. Shimi Kang, a psychiatrist and clinical associate professor at UBC, says the proposed restrictions need more clarity, noting that social media can also help marginalized young people find support.
