Traumas Podcast
A French-Canadian interview podcast where host Catherine Côté gives survivors a platform to share their stories of trauma and resilience.
This is a raw, long-form interview show where guests recount their life traumas in unflinching detail, presented in Québécois French. Host Catherine Côté acts as a compassionate guide, creating a safe container for stories of childhood abuse, domestic violence, severe accidents, and systemic injustice. It's less of an expert analysis and more of a bearing of witness to another person's lived experience.
“Unlike expert-led trauma podcasts, the show's power comes from its unmediated first-person narratives; the guest is the sole expert. Its specific Québécois cultural context and Côté's non-interventional, purely supportive hosting style set it apart.”
