Joy Story

We're back! For a one-off? For the beginning of a new season? Who knows? We don't!In this episode, we talk about Christmas, pets, relationships, and other sad things. Dan also shares the worst anecdote he's ever told, and Tim airs his family grievances.

Amidst all the usual topics (Spice Girls), in this episode we say goodbye for now!

In this 9th episode of Joy Story, Tim and Dan talk about social media - the good and the bad - as well as sharing stories about Spice Girls Lego, birdwatching, and of course Norma The Dog.To write in to the podcast, email us at joystorypodcast@gmail.com!

In this episode, Dan and Tim talk about a topic sent to us by Lisa: "What about when things that bring you joy end up being seen through a different lens? For example, JK Rowling, TERF wars, the music of Michael Jackson, etc." We also talk about pursuing compassion as a tool for nurturing happiness.Is there anything you'd like us to talk about on the show?

We got sidetracked in this episode. It was going to be a conversation about friendship with other men, but we ended up talking about dieting,  healthy living, and how apparently positive habits can end up doing more harm than good. There's also some very salacious stuff about porn. How titillating. Content warning: if food/exercise are difficult subjects for you, please look after yourself when listening to this episode. You may even want to give it a miss.If you'd like to get in touch with questions/thoughts for future episodes, email us! joystorypodcast@gmail.com. You can also find Tim on Instagram (@timsleeson) and Dan on Twitter (@danmillsdabell).

In this first episode of 2022, Dan and Tim talk about skateboards, Spider-Man, The Spice Girls, and some serious stuff too.Thanks to Yasin and Jordan, whose thoughtful questions helped shape our conversation in this episode!

On this week's LIVE* and IN PERSON episode, Hannah sends us a question about "navigating feeling joy when others around you are not", and Caris asks about "managing any associated feelings of vulnerability that might come from expressing joy as an adult".*NB - Definitions of Live may vary.

For reasons which we'll sort of explain in the episode, we're not responding to listeners' questions this month. So this is more of a free-flowing conversation, which touches on a number of topics!
