Tested (Ep 1): The Choice

New from NPR's Embedded podcast and CBC in Canada: Would you alter your body for the chance to compete for a gold medal? That's the question facing a small group of elite athletes right now.

You'll meet one of those runners, Christine Mboma, a reigning Olympic silver medalist, and hear about the difficult choice she faces.

This is always the first show I recommend when someone is looking for a podcast, and there are so many reasons to! Thought-provoking stories about our emotional worlds, edited with integrity and put together primarily by women with diverse backgrounds. I love every season, and felt this seasons topic of power so was so expertly chosen and produced. Thank you so much to everyone involved in this wonderful space for challenging ideas and inspiring empathy and curiosity! Looking forward to the next season!
So much food for thought

I absolutely love this show. It’s even on my resumé as my favourite podcast. As a psychologist-trainer I think about and deal with a lot of the topics that are featured in the show. And every time I start to listen to a show I am so surprised by the excellent storytelling and refreshing angles in which the show discusses the different topics. I learn so much about how to look and talk about these kinds of things. And I am filled with inspiration every time. Please don’t stop making these beautiful pieces!
I miss you guys!!

Just finished your episode in perspective and it occured to me how you guys managed to change my perspective. As a dutchman the USA ever after the election of Trump appears to be a freak show full of racists, bigots and blatantly lying politicians. You guys show there is still a remnant of the intelligence and moral which once founded this big country left. I so sincerely hope we’ll see much more of that at the end of this year. Thank you for the excellent work.
