      <itunes:summary>It’s our 100th episode, and we’re trying something new! Rather than share a tiny victory per se, Laura House is telling Annabelle about a recent week-long visit in which her future mother-in-law stayed with Laura and Brian. Annabelle’s job is to identify any tiny victories she hears. Turns out there are quite a few…including a new title: Grandma.

Plus, Adam calls in with terrible news with a positive spin.

      <itunes:summary>As listeners may be aware, Annabelle is kind of a book snob. This means she’s not necessarily going to read the popular books that Oprah taps for her book club until years after they came out. And if she ever DOES read an Oprah Book Club selection, she’ll often be surprised that it’s not just popular, but also good! Annabelle tells Laura about three books she highly recommends. Plus, Amanda calls in with a banking victory that took a year to address, and three minutes to resolve.

      <itunes:summary>This past June, “Merch Gurtch” (a.k.a. Annabelle) toured Europe in a van w/ heavy metal band Dead Poet Society. Her trip got off to a rocky start, however, as soon as she arrived at London’s Heathrow airport and realized…she hadn’t arranged for international phone calls on her cell phone, a detail House found wholly unsurprising. How does a person traveling in 2022 coordinate getting picked up at the airport when she’s (technologically) stuck in the late 80s? And how can this be a victory?

      <itunes:summary>Annabelle and Laura are back from hiatus, recharged and ready to hand out trophies to anyone that wants recognition for something tiny!

Annabelle acquired the nickname ‘Merch Gurtch’ this summer. You know, when she toured Europe in a van selling merchandise for the heavy metal band Dead Poet Society, with which she traveled. She’ll share a few highlights, as well as an earnest message to our nation’s elementary school teachers. Plus, Abby from Wisconsin has a huge weight lifted off her shoulders–a weight that had been resting there for almost a year.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>**After this episode aired, we got a call on the Tiny Victories hotline from René Marie herself. If you want to hear her message and Laura’s reaction to it, take a listen to The Worst Year**
In this week’s episode, Laura House brings us a tiny victory demonstrating the wisdom of “less is more” in one’s online dating profile. The decision to not share a seemingly irrelevant truth about herself turned out to be one of the most consequential decisions of House’s life. But this episode isn’t about that huge decision. It’s about something tiny that happened as a result of that monumental decision House made, and it has to do with being open to new experiences, liminal space, and the exquisite power of René Marie.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>A new cat appeared in Annabelle’s neighborhood, and started beef with Annabelle’s two cats, Betty &amp; Shirley. Annabelle tells Laura that up until this one encounter, Betty &amp; Shirley had enjoyed a happy and loving existence. After that encounter, their furry fun times turned to fury, sending Annabelle into the comforting, albeit metaphorical, bosom of Austrian existentialist Martin Buber (1878 - 1975), of “Ich-Du” “Ich-Es” fame. This will all make sense when Annabelle explains it. Plus, a caller from Albuquerque says something so nice…Annabelle and Laura might just visit her unannounced.

      <itunes:summary>This week, Annabelle has an objective. She wants to convince Laura that, “giving into grief can be a tiny victory.” In this episode, Annabelle celebrates the life of longtime friend Willie Garson, including an account of the beloved actor’s service that shows how, through his legacy, he put the “fun” in funeral. In addition, we’ve got two calls from the Tiny Victory Hotline, one of which tickled Laura so much she created a brand new category of victories that she calls F**k It!

      <itunes:summary>These week, we’re celebrating National Book Lover’s Day by recommending some of our favorite books. As the episode had been conceived, Annabelle, Laura and Swish would each recommend a book and read a favorite passage. But there was so much to say that this is now going to be a two-part episode. 

After you listen to the episode, be sure to call and tell us what you love about one of your favorite books. We especially want to hear recommendations for titles that aren’t on the NYT Bestseller’s list. We may include your message in part two.</itunes:summary>

That show ended it’s 9-year run on NPR last week (Sept. 24th), but this week you can hear Ophira call in to the Tiny Victory hotline about her relationship to sleep. Plus, we hear from Meredith about why she’s throwing in the towel on therapy. And Annabelle sums up the common theme linking both calls by quoting Nietzsche.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>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.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>One of the benefits of recording in the same space is that there’s no 2-second lag, and it’s a much more natural experience. But if you put two friends who like to talk in the same space for just the second time in months, the odds of keeping a session to an hour or less are slim to none. So in between takes, Laura and Annabelle caught up with each other while producer Swish eavesdropped…and kept recording. When Laura spoke about how happy she was for her fiance, Brian Swartz, Annabelle armchair-analyzed their relationship. That analysis became the first part of today’s episode, and presented a mystery that would require them to find a word detective to solve it: Is there a word that means the opposite of schadenfreude?</itunes:summary>

It got Annabelle thinking, “What would I do if I were in the shoes of one of these bystanders? Anything?” This week, Laura and Annabelle report back after attending bystander intervention training. It turns out, there are lots of ways to intervene and help victims of harassment that don’t involve martial arts or weapons training. In fact, there are TINY methods you can take to deescalate dangerous situations. Plus, we’ll hear from Cindy who found a victory in, of all places, a laundromat.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This week’s episode was inspired by Katie Heaney’s article in The Cut about Shakira’s newfound love of skateboarding in her forties. The Colombian singer &amp; songwriter has stunned fans with how quickly she mastered the sport, as evidenced in the music video for Girl Like Me.

Laura and Annabelle celebrate Shakira’s latest hobby, but wonder if the world would be a better place if the media called attention to more mundane activities, such as, “Shakira Ate a Carb”. And Annabelle reveals the second act she envisioned for herself that didn’t happen. Well, it happened for House, just not Annabelle.</itunes:summary>

Laura describes trying to kill her former landlady (with kindness) over ridiculous fees, and Annabelle’s neighbor couldn’t stand that her kid was always hitting baseballs over the fence…and into his yard.

If you find New Year’s Resolutions pointless and doomed to fail, Annabelle and Laura share a tinier approach to kicking the year off. Listener Heather Gold tells us how she saved a fortune on fixing her older-model Mercedes, and hopes her tiny victory might save our listeners a trip to the mechanic and a hit to the wallet. And finally, last week Annabelle revealed that the sad song that makes her happy is Horrible Things by playwright Young Jean Lee.
