Episode notes
This week, Annabelle remembers her good friend and mentor Barbara Ehrenreich, the bestselling author known for her wit, activism, and generosity. She founded The Economic Hardship Reporting Project, and documented the hardships of the working class poor through her work. Ehrenreich was generous with her time and expertise, and Annabelle tells Laura about the impact to her life, and how she helped many other writers as well.
Plus, Gary from Atlanta breaks down the various ways of clapping, and clap meanings.

Do YOU have a tiny victory to share?

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.
If you prefer, you can record a tiny victory on your phone and then email us the audio.

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.
