Episode notes

This week’s topic are those gifts that keep on giving. Laura House tells us about two ridiculous gifts she would never buy for herself, that her brother got for her. One of those gifts was a set of self-grinding salt and pepper shakers, and Laura felt compelled to grind some salt during the recording as if Annabelle wouldn’t take her word for it. We also hear from listener Jane, who happened to be putting batteries in another kitchen gadget while leaving her message. This is a really fun show, and we encourage YOU to call in with any gift success stories that you have.

 

Things You Should Stop Worrying About This Week

 

Penis snakes in Miami

 

Denver’s  “Park Hill Pooper”

 

I’ll stop worrying about monkey gangs (and just as I was starting to forget about monkey pox)

 

I’ll stop worrying about the frightening pace of Greenland’s ice melt

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.

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.

Follow Tiny Victories at @GetTinyPod on Twitter and Instagram.
