Emily Grey's been living with a condition known as PSSD for six years now. PSSD can lead to the effective erasure of a person's sexual sensation and functioning.The SSRIs that seem to be at the heart of this condition are selective serotonin uptake inhibitors, a group of antidepressant drugs that have been around for decades. The latest numbers indicate that nearly 20% of Canadian women and 10% of Canadian men are now taking these drugs. It is generally known that potential side effects include a loss of libido. But what we're talking about today and what advocates like Emily have been saying for years is that the side effects can be very extreme. They might persist even after you stop taking SSRIs.We'll also be speaking with Dr. David Healy, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Cardiff in Wales. Dr. Healy has been involved in SSRI research for decades. He's the author of over a dozen books on psychopharmacology, including Let Them Eat Prozac, the Unhealthy Relationship Between The Pharmaceutical Industry and Depression.Also on our panel is Dr. Caroline Pukall professor of psychology at Queen's University whose research focuses on sexual wellbeing and includes sexual psychophysiology.Credits: Host: Jesse BrownCaleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther ReadingPSSD websiteDr. David HealyDr. Caroline PukallSponsors: oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

Hello to you listening in Victoria, BC, CanadaLand!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a change up) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.My friend Michelle asked me something that made me stop and think. She said, "You always end Story Prompt Friday with 'Write that story!' But you believe in the music of the spoken word - telling stories out loud - why not say that?Michelle knows me well.Here's the thing about our voices - they carry magic that our fingers can't capture. When you write your story, you're having a conversation with yourself. It's a lovely and necessary place to begin. But when you speak your story out loud, something different happens. Something powerful.Your voice carries the rhythm of your heartbeat. It holds the catch in your throat when you remember something tender. It speeds up when you get excited and slows down when the moment matters most. These aren't just sounds - they're the music of your experience.Think about the last time someone told you a story that made you lean in closer. Was it their words alone? Or was it the way their voice dropped to an intimate whisper? The way they paused right before the surprise? The way their whole face lit up when they got to the good part?When you tell your story out loud, you're not just sharing information. You're sharing yourself. Your voice carries your personality, your emotions, your truth in ways that words on a page simply cannot.Here's what I've learned in thirty years of teaching people to tell their stories: most of us have forgotten how powerful our voices are. We text instead of call. We email instead of visit. We've become quiet.Your story needs your voice. It needs the way you say certain words. It needs your pauses, your emphasis, your breath. These aren't extras - they're essential story ingredients.When you stand up and tell your story, you're claiming space in the world. You're saying, "This happened. This matters. I matter." That's not just storytelling - that's courage.And here's the magical surprise: when you tell your story out loud, you hear it differently than when you write it. You discover new meanings. You find the parts that will move your listeners. You learn which moments need more time and which ones can move faster.Your voice teaches you about your own story.Your stories are waiting for the full power of your voice. They're waiting for the music of the spoken word only you can make.So yes, write your stories. But don't stop there. Find someone to tell them to, a loved one, an animal companion, even to yourself as you're walking outside or working in your garden. That's where I practice!

“ When talking about immigration, you shouldn't use the word sweep because it implies that immigrants are something undesirable to be swept away. Notably, they don't say the same thing about homeless people.” -Alex SkopicProtestor or Protester? Anti-Vaxxer or vaccine hesitant? Riot or Uprising? Every word in the news carries weight, and every choice behind those words shapes how we see the world.Style guides dictate not just grammar and spelling, but power, perspective, and politics. The Associated Press Stylebook has long been considered the journalist's bible, but who gets to write it? And whose voices get left out?Alex Skopic of Current Affairs is an outspoken critic of the AP style guide. He pulls back the curtain on how language is used, who decides what's "neutral," and why seemingly small word choices can have massive consequences.Host: Sam KonnertCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Tony Wang (Executive Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Publisher)Guests: Alex SkopicPhoto: m01229Additional music by Audio NetworkThis show is available exclusively to Canadaland supporters.

There's a secret club in Canada. And trust me, you don't want to be a member. If you're in this club, your first response when you hear news about bombs and death and carnage in the Middle East is not to hop onto Twitter or Facebook to post your political opinion about it. Your first response is to make a long-distance phone call to try to find out if your family and friends over there are still alive. Lebanese Canadians are in this club, Palestinian Canadians are in this club, Jewish Canadians are in this club. And last week, hundreds of thousands of Iranian Canadians joined the club too. Today we talk to two Iranian-Canadians with very different perspectives about what's happened since Israel attacked Iran last week and what it could mean in the future.

Not all interviews go according to plan. Even on a show that has over 500 episodes and the host has recorded over a thousand interviews. So what do you do? Air it anyway? What if the content of that episode is questionable, objectionable, or problematic in some other way? Well, sometimes the simplest answer is to just can it.And that's what happened a few weeks ago on the media criticism edition of CANADALAND. For the first time in its history, the show ran without its classic segment “Duly Noted” because host Jesse Brown and co-host Cenk Uygur were eventually just screaming at one another. And more than that, Jesse didn't feel that material could be published. At least, not without the right context.So today, host Sam Konnert brings us through what happened on that day, and then follows up with Jesse and Cenk after the fact, to see what they thought went wrong. And why it's ok to publish it now.Host: Sam KonnertCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Tony Wang (Executive Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Guest: Cenk UygurAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading:U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts — Council on Foreign Relations'All Jewish Americans are questioning their security' after violent antisemitic attacks — BBCCanada, Western allies sanction two Israeli lawmakers for incitement of ‘extremist violence' — The Globe & MailThis show is available exclusively to Canadaland supporters.

The election is done and dusted. Votes cast, tallied, and 343 newly minted MPs are on the job. But even though we, the media collectively, tried our best to vet everyone, some things slipped past us.There's one candidate that we at Canadaland did not vet. That candidate won. And then she was named to Cabinet. She is now a federal minister. Only then did we get a tip about her.

For the 209th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Leslie Lebowitz, a clinical psychologist specializing in psychological trauma, sexual exploitation, and violence. Leslie served as an expert witness in two civil suits brought against Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis on behalf of underage girls who had been featured in his pornography. In this interview, she unpacks her takeaways from the lawsuits, including the coercion tactics used by the company, the psychological toll on the young women involved, the disturbing victim-blaming that occurred, and the cultural attitudes that allowed Girls Gone Wild to flourish with little accountability. We also discuss the fine line between empowerment and exploitation. Courtney shares her own behind-the-scenes experience working for Girls Gone Wild and its long-term impact, contrasting that world with today's more self-directed platforms like OnlyFans. This interview was conducted as part of Courtney's reporting for Canadaland episode #1160, Confessions of a Girls Gone Wild Merch Girl.

Jesse Brown is an ideological slut. Well, so he says. His past votes have jumped, in no particular order, from the Conservatives to the NDP “....maybe there was a fringe party or Parti Québécois vote in there somewhere, I can't even remember who I've thrown in with over the years — I have no loyalty, I'm politically promiscuous.”Given that this is supposed to be the most consequential vote of our lifetimes, and with the polls closing in just a few hours, you'd think even the “politically promiscuous” Jesse Brown would have settled on a party by now. Nope.So on today's show he's gathered the best minds, or at least the most available of his colleagues at Canadaland, to argue the merits of each party.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:Voting information — Elections CanadaSponsors: Fizz: Visit https://fizz.ca to learn more about Fizz and its long list of added-value features, and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get 25$ off & 10GB of free data.

The north is a hot topic. Trump, China, Russia, everyone suddenly has eyes on the Arctic. The Canadian government is promising everything from submarines to ice breakers to show the world we really are a nation stretching from sea to sea to sea.Today's headlines might feel like we're now in uncharted waters but Canada has been here before. In the 1950s Cold War tensions roiled round the north. The Canadian government at that time decided we needed not just boots on the ground, but that we must have civilians living on the land, and the further north that land was the better. One of the people they sent to the High Arctic in 1953 is still there. So Canadaland called him up to get his take on the current round of Arctic sabre rattling.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Written and presented by Bruce Thorson, Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:Broken Promises: The High Arctic Relocation — National Film Board of CanadaRomanian who boated to High Arctic fesses up — CBCSpeech by Premier Eva Aariak ​​on the Federal investment of $100 million for Nunavut Housing — Nunavut Legislature (archived)Sponsors: Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

In the last 50 or so years the number of independent first-time political candidates elected to office in Canada could fit in a car. Five candidates have made it to, albeit a very small portion of political power, without party support. That covers both provincial and federal elections.As Canadian elections become increasingly presidential affairs, focusing on the personality at the top of the ticket, the quality that seems most necessary in an aspiring MP is fealty to the Party, the leader, the mantra.The pressures of social media, political parties' reliance on marketing data, and the 24-hour news cycle all play a part in the clamping down on new or maverick voices.What is the cost of canceling out the independent voice in our MPs? And how did we get here?Alex Marland, author of No I in Team: Party Loyalty in Canadian Politics and Whipped: Party Discipline in Canada has interviewed hundreds of politicians trying to answer those questions.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading:Alex Marland — Acadia UniversitySponsors: PolicyMe: Get Covered in Minutes—No Hassle, No Hidden Fees.

In October 1980, a motorcycle packed with explosives went off outside a Paris synagogue, killing four and wounding nearly four dozen others. French investigators gathered evidence the attack was planned by a Palestinian militant group, but the trail for the bomber went cold for years. Twenty-eight years after the attack on Rue Copernic, French authorities accused a Canadian sociology professor of Lebanese descent of planting the bomb. Hassan Diab proclaimed his innocence, saying their evidence was flawed and circumstantial. It spawned a diplomatic crisis, as Canadian judicial authorities also questioned whether Diab should be turned over to France for trial.“The Copernic Affair” from Canadaland and House of Many Windows re-examines the controversial terrorism probe. Hosts Dana Ballout and Alex Atack talk to victims, investigators, and Diab himself to make sense of how an unassuming academic with a common name was accused of a horrific crime four decades ago. Is Hassan Diab guilty of an unspeakable act of political violence? Or is he a scapegoat for a failed investigation?OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE COPERNIC AFFAIR" BEGIN IN THE FINAL NINE MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

Back in Canada, Hassan Diab's life is hanging in limbo. He may be arrested at any moment, and Canada's government won't ensure his safety. What does justice mean for the victims of the Copernic attack, and what does it mean for Diab and his supporters?This show is only possible because people like you believe in it and support it.
