Episode notes

Annabelle returns from Europe–again!–where she spoke at The World Conference on Lung Cancer in Vienna, Austria. She tells House about dancing in castles with the the world’s most preeminent scientists researching lung cancer…but that’s not the actual victory. Her tiny victory sprang from a conversation she had with Jacob Kaufman, PhD, that completely upended Annabelle’s lifelong aversion to learning hard science. The theater nerd has become a science nerd, and all it took was socializing with a bunch of brilliant scientists in Austria.

Plus, Eric from Iowa calls the hotline about an important milestone he was able to witness from his puppy.

Do YOU have a tiny victory to share? 

 

Call the Tiny Victories Hotline: (323) 285-1675

We want folks to share their tiny victories on our hotline because, frankly, we’ll assume we’re just talking into the void every week and nothing matters. Prove us wrong. Did you finally do that thing you were putting off? Tiny victory! Reconnect with someone you haven’t been in touch with for ages? Victory! We only ask that you try to keep messages to under a minute so we’re able to play it on the show.

About the show

Tiny Victories is the 15 minute podcast that pushes back on the notion that you have to “go big” or “go home”. Sometimes just going is the victory. Each week, hosts Annabelle Gurwitch and Laura House invite listeners to adopt a TINY victory frame of mind, and share tales of fleeting joys and minor accomplishments in this majorly messed-up world.

What’s your Tiny Victory? Annabelle and Laura invite audience members to share stories on the Tiny Victories Hotline. To send in your Tiny Victory, call (323) 285-1675 or record a voice memo of your victory and email the file to tinyvictories@maximumfun.org.

Follow Tiny Victories at @GetTinyPod on Twitter and Instagram.
