Personal Best

by CBC
278

Personal Best celebrates small ambitions, half-wins and the quiet satisfaction of getting less bad at things. Each week we help ordinary people work through the little things they’d never bring to a life coach — like having the courage to dine alone at a fancy restaurant or getting less awkward at handshakes. Let us be your self-improvement sidekicks!

    Love this! Is it coming back??!!!
    This show and Jonathan Goldstein’s shows make me realize how wonderful Canada is. Silly and fun while also tackling actual issues. How do they do it? Oh Canada! 🇨🇦 Please come back!

    Baby come back
    Please bring this show back. I find myself smiling multiple times every episode. I heard this described as Nathan for You in podcast form and it is, but less cringey. It’s heartwarming and humorous and I love listening.

    I love this podcast!
    Have you ever listened to something that just makes you so happy to hear it? I love how the concept is helping people. I’m so excited for everyone who accomplished their goals and at the end of a full day binge fest I still can’t get enough!

    Two guys trying to help people become better
    Self-help by two regular dudes. Sometimes they hit it out of the park, but most of the time they totally miss their mark. Regardless of the result, the joy is in the journey. Just the fact that they hear people out and try to help them, actually does help. It’s a Canadian This American Life, but instead of just listening to someone’s story, they try to help the person achieve something they always wanted. I chuckle and cringe and smile every single episode; all emotions I love getting from a podcast. Thanks for a great show!

    Like going to therapy except it works and I LOL
    I finally found my people. This speaks to my soul. No joke. Though I do laugh out loud (LOL) often every episode. YAHOO! Keep up the good work, gang.

  • VermillionCorazon
    Wholesome
    These guys are so freakin earnest and I adore how low-budget many of their achievement techniques are.
  • Body_bo
    Fix me please! Haha
    I’m 2 episodes in and I already want these guys to help me fix something in my life! I’m making a list. Adulting is so hard but everyone pretends they are pros at it, including myself. Hopefully we’ll get some new episodes soon.

    The hosts make the show
    These guys are awesome. I love their sometimes subtle (sometimes not) absurdity, I can't wait to hear more.
  • DoriMerDen
    Great Find!
    This podcast was a great random find. It's equally funny and poignant, with a very "This American Life" (NPR) vibe. Highly recommended!
  • ClayJQ
    Who the f*#% are these guys?
    I didn’t notice the “comedy” categorization of this podcast and legitimately thought this was a self improvement show. Found myself laughing uncontrollably at every episode. No idea how a reputable organization like the CBC entrusted programming to them, but so glad they did. Well done gentlemen, keep up the mediocre work that keeps me cracking up.

    Hilarious and Creative
    Such a great show. Funny, creative, and actually shows a side of the human experience that you don’t get on other podcasts
  • above8a
    Fun and silly listen
    These guys have me smiling the whole way through the podcast. The things they come up are silly and don’t always work out but it’s always a good ending.
  • Nicknamve
    fun and surprisingly heartwarming
    fun and easy to listen to! its so great to find something that makes me smile but also is genuinely goodhearted in a way so few things are. hearing the surprised joy that all the people they help have at the end of each ep is what makes this podcast something special. thank you for making it!
  • Pills and lotion
    Laugh out loud
    Funny! Absurd and realistic. Full of silly surprises. My new favorite podcast.
