Paradigm is a podcast about the surprising and personal experiences that shape the way we walk through the world. Each episode is a short documentary, told by a different person. These are intimate, character-driven stories that highlight big issues in our society: A personal look at the ways race impacts the education experience of young Canadians. A coal miner who continues to want to work with coal, even when they know what it does to the planet and their body. A touching story about one family’s experience after a loved one seeks medical assistance in dying.

The host of the show, Stefanie Phillips, will take listeners into these new experiences and introduce them to each storyteller. These are people with a unique perspective on the issue at hand, sometimes with their own stake in the story.

We all have our own stories. They might seem small. But they can have a big impact.

Paradigm asks you to forget what you think you know, and consider a different perspective.
