  • What does JK Rowling want?

    What does JK Rowling want?
    Apr 4 2022
    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.

  • How healthy is healthy living?

    How healthy is healthy living?
    Feb 7 2022
    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).

    Under the bells of St Paul's
    Dec 6 2021
    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".
