Boston Globe Media and Tufts Health Plan launch sixth season of podcast
Navigating the complexities of modern life requires more than just physical care, a reality driving the return of the podcast series Turning Points. Beginning October 7, 2026, the collaboration between Boston Globe Media and Tufts Health Plan enters its sixth season with five new episodes focused on emotional well-being.
This partnership between Boston Globe Media’s Studio/B and Point32Health aims to normalize discussions surrounding mental health. Previous seasons achieved notable success, reaching the top spot on Apple’s mental health podcast charts and earning nominations for Webby and Shorty Awards. Angus Macaulay, chief commercial officer of Boston Globe Media, noted that the series' success reflects a growing demand for accessible conversations about mental health. Edward Walker, president of government markets for Tufts Health Plan, added that these stories serve to provide listeners with both insight and hope. Interested audiences can access the series on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and the dedicated project page at Globe.com/TurningPoints.
