Unexpected Joy

I was first drawn to this podcast - the idea of helping people achieve small* goals and celebrate that. What I wasn’t prepared for was the weird unexpected ways the presenters go about getting there. It’s out of the box, left of field, overly dramatic and as a result - hilarious. The number of times I’ve legitimately laughed out loud in public is the highest it’s been all week due to this podcast. It’s incredibly silly, but also sweet. If you think self improvement should include laughing at yourself along the way, magic tricks, AI, fun outfits, haunted houses, and awkward moments with strangers, then this is the podcast for you.
Hilariously genius.

Love this show! The lengths these guys go to, unconventional as their ideas may be, to help people solve their problems makes everyone feel good in the end. I am hoping they will be able solve a problem I have - the episode about the dude who wants to be able to do a backflip cuts out before the end - I really, really want to know if he ever managed to do one!! Did he?
