What Is This Thing? (Daniel's Story)

Host, Daniel, gives his take on the proposed trades podcast script, and the script is immediately axed, allowing Daniel and co-host, Karen, to dive deep into some of the real issues related to the drug poisoning crisis in the construction industry in British Columbia. Daniel and Karen discuss if drugs are good or bad, how we should approach talking about substance use in the trades, physical and emotional pain, the myth of normal, belief systems, and more. Daniel shares his story as a tradesman who regularly used heroin, and recovered to find a meaningful, connected life. Together they wonder if this podcast series can explore stigma, pain, why tradesmen are disproportionately affected by the drug poisoning crisis, what is the culture for men in the trades, can we explore these ideas with safety in a podcast, and more!
