About this listen

 In the endless pursuit of happiness have we forgotten the value of what it means to feel sadness? Often treated like an emotion that is a nuisance to be got rid of with some self-help wisdom, we are going to tune into some of the great things about this maligned emotion - like how it has inspired great art and music. There's also evidence that it can be motivational and give us better judgement. Izzy turns up at the studio feeling sad (which is convenient) so we make her cry - but only for the ratings! Meanwhile, Richard reveals his no-nonsense approach to dealing with returning music that doesn't meet strict sadness criteria. Radiohead fans should probably not listen. Join us as we take a trip into the heart of melancholy.
