How a bad edible trip changed the course of Charlie Houston's life
The Toronto singer-songwriter has just released her debut album, Big After I Die


When the Canadian musician Charlie Houston was a student at New York University a few years ago, she took an edible that gave her a really bad trip. It was so bad that she quit music, dropped out of school and moved back in with her parents in Toronto. Now, she's released her debut album, Big After I Die, which explores the precarious and often surreal experience of transitioning between phases of life. Houston sits down with Tom Power to tell us the story of the edible that changed her life and how she got back into music. Plus, she sets up a track from her new album.
