Podcasts about whimsy

Finally… a happiness habit that actually works. Whimsymaxxing is everywhere right now, and for good reason. But this is more than just another internet trend… the vitality of whimsy reflects something much deeper about what so many of us are craving. In this episode, we're exploring the psychology of whimsy, why adults desperately need more play, wonder, novelty, creativity, and delight, and why intentionally romanticizing your life can improve your mental health, resilience, and overall wellbeing. In a world obsessed with productivity, optimization, and hustle culture, whimsy is becoming an act of rebellion. A much-needed pendulum swing away from over-optimizing, biohacking, irreverence, and minimalism. Whimsy is an act of hope and joy against the seriousness of adulthood and the uncertainty of current times. And it's more than just vibes… whimsy is a measurable psychological strength associated with greater life satisfaction, stronger relationships, improved resilience, and lower symptoms of depression. Even more good news: it's not a fixed trait. Research shows playfulness can be learned and developed. So whether you're feeling burnt out, stuck in autopilot, or wanting to reconnect with childhood joy, this episode will inspire you to reclaim the magic of life in small, meaningful ways. Tune in to hear about: Why whimsymaxxing is becoming one of the biggest trends The psychology of whimsy, playfulness, and wonder How romanticizing your life can improve happiness and mental health Why novelty activates dopamine and makes life feel richer and more memorable The surprising research on adult playfulness and resilience The power of nostalgia and reconnecting with childhood joy How to break out of autopilot and make everyday life feel magical again 15 easy ways to add more whimsy, creativity, adventure, and play into your life this summer Let's savour every sunset, dilly dally our days away, and spend the summer being wildly impractical and frivolous.

Välkommen till Yada Yadas allra första Whimsy Summer Special. I stället för att bjuda in gäster till studion ger sig Carin Falk och Fanny Ekstrand ut på fältet och besöker människor i deras egna kreativa miljöer. Först ut är konstnären Lisa Larsson, som öppnar dörrarna till sin Studio för ett långt, varmt och ofiltrerat samtal om skapande, inspiration och livet som konstnär. De pratar om huruvida realism är det minst intressanta med konst, hur eskapism kan hjälpa oss att förstå verkligheten och varför de vackraste ögonblicken ofta är de mest flyktiga. Samtalet rör sig mellan kreativitet, psykisk hälsa, lustdrivet arbete och varför man ibland måste tillåta sig själv att vara i en "off season".

  The ladies are back from GART and still riding the high of a week that blended straight into Independence Day weekend. Ashe in America, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada open with the aftermath of convention season: half packed suitcases, golf carts, VIP dinners, and a costume moment involving Bit of Whimsy that earns its own shout out. A photo challenge walks through the group's favorite GART and July 4th memories, with plenty of ribbing about who caused which shenanigans. Then the Tattooed Teacher takes over for a genuinely wild news segment. A pair of Russian rooftoppers scale the Empire State Building all the way to the spire, unfurl a banner, and pull off a stunt that somehow ends in a marriage proposal 1,454 feet in the air. Naturally, it does not end quietly. Expect fast paced friendship, a few sponsor shoutouts, and a story so absurd it needs a PowerPoint. New episodes air Mondays at 3pm.

Unextended episode recorded whilst walking around Cannon Hill Common in southwest London. Woo, whimsy, and the fluffiest fledgling in the world. Thank you for listening.

Shaded seats at Raymond James Stadium sound great, but how much public money should be spent on renovating the 28-year-old facility? And, how can Tampa and Hillsborough afford that project while helping build the Rays' “Forever Home.”That's a show! But there's more.We hear how the kids feel about the “teen takeovers” that have been creating public disturbances – and in one case, involved a shooting.Also, critics of the state's corrections system argue staffing and oversight issues impact inmate healthcare – and accountability when deaths occur.We close with a nifty sit-down with Destin Conrad, who is making his own kind of music on his second album, “wHIMSY.”Website: https://www.wusf.orgSign up for our daily newsletter: https://www.wusf.org/wakeupcall-newsletterFollow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WUSFInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wusfpublicmedia/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsN1ZItTKcJ4AGsBIni3

In this episode, we chat: How they say... you're the "sum of the 5 closest people around you." And while I personally find that particular phrase to be a bit corny, I've come to realize... there's wisdom in that phrase, especially, for the whimsy girl. What you'll learn in this episode: What friendship characteristics negatively impact whimsy, vibrant, playful, and emotionally alive women and which friendship characteristics to look out for as a whimsy girl to support you in your joy and curiosity How to go about finding and cultivating friendships as an adult whimsy girl-- it's not as hard as you think. Why some whimsy girls are meant to have large friend groups and others, 1-2 close friends and why both... are more than okay. IG: @clearernotlouder

In this episode, we chat: Whimsy as aliveness, joy, optimism, delight, and vibrancy--- NOT childishness-- and why all things whimsical deserve a front seat in your life. What you'll learn in this episode: Why whimsy AND sophistication can exist together at once-- a conversation on how paradox can and should work together really beautifully Whimsy as a reclamation of yourself, your agency, and who God created you to be How whimsy is spiritual and God's gift over your life and a key aspect of your life's purpose IG: @clearernotlouder Read More  

What happens when you lean into your curiosity, notice the little joys, and get playful? Today on Now or Never, Ify Chiwetlu and Trevor Dineen find out why intentional whimsy might just be necessary. After feeling stuck, Toronto's Chara Ho decided she didn't want life passing her by. She's now on a mission to find her spark again, by challenging herself to do something new every day. Ify Chiwetelu joins her on her latest adventure.He was rescued from a pile of parts, became a Nanaimo neighbourhood celebrity, survived a mysterious disappearance, and even found love. Meet Gunner, the mannequin draped across Brian and Terry Neevay's fence, who proves small acts of joy can have a big impact. “To have whimsy you need safety and silliness,” said Eddie Ayoub, artistic director of Art City, a non-profit community centre run by artists in Winnipeg's West Broadway neighbourhood. Imagine a place full of paint, fabric,and art supplies where everyone is welcome to come and create. Today they're preparing for their annual parade that injects whimsy into a community that needs it.When a mysterious orange line of paint showed up in his Toronto neighbourhood one day, Pete Morey and his 7-year-old daughter set off on an adventure to follow the line, and try to solve the mystery of who's behind it.

TJH 924: Wonder and Whimsy Today on episode 924 of the Jamhole, our heroes have a productive day, until it turns into bike repairs, bread box construction disasters, cannabis chemistry, Eugene's weekly public therapy session, poop-filled diesel tanks, failing infrastructure, and a philosophical discussion about whether billionaires even live in the same reality as the rest of us. Sit back and let us explain. The Jamhole - Stay hungry, stay foolish.

As Liz and Sarah dive into the new draft of their novel, they're experimenting with tense. They each wrote a scene in past tense, and now they're going to write the same scenes in present tense. Which will they prefer? In The Craft (& Fain) they share a listener's suggestion to assign every project its own theme song. Then they discuss their favorite parts of Mimsy May in Take Two. One takeaway? Whimsy should not be effortful. This week's Hollywood Hack is on trend — a Mahjong mat with game instructions as part of its design.

Foundry Chocolate in New Zealand release only a single inclusion bar each year, but this annual release has become one of the hottest tickets in craft chocolate. Each fall (for the Northern Hemisphere—spring for NZ), they release a bar infused with a different whisky from artisan New Zealand distillery Thomson Whisky. Each year's release is a unique flavor concept, and co-founder David Herrick and his team spend time throughout the year perfecting each annual batch. In this nerdy, deep-dive conversation, David Herrick and host David Nilsen discuss the planning stages for each bar, walk through each annual release since 2021, and talk about the details of Foundry's process for infusing whisky into these bars. The Davids also talk about Foundry's origin story, the meaning behind their name, the thoughtful of their packaging, and what keeps them excited and curious.You can learn more about Foundry on their website, or follow them on Instagram.You can listen to episodes with New Zealander Luke Owen Smith here and here.1:00 - Introduction3:40 - Start of Interview: Foundry's backstory13:35 - The meaning of the name “Foundry”17:30 - Whisky and the Thompson Distillery21:50 - Whisky bar releases 2021-202542:45 - Whisky infusion process53:40 - Release events and enthusiasm54:55 - 2026 R&D57:50- What he's currently excited about1:06:55 - Packaging and the story Foundry is telling1:13:55 - End of interview1:20:40 - End of episodeGuest:David Herrick, along with his wife Janelle, are co-founders of Foundry Chocolate, a New Zealand-based bean-to-bar craft chocolate maker whose globally award-winning single origin, two ingredient bars make the flavor possible from single origins their absolute focus.

What if getting dressed became less about managing perception…and more about self-expression and shaping our experience? In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, Dr. DeSimone explores the surprising emotional depth behind something that initially seems lighthearted: overdressing for no reason, Disney ears on a cruise, bold earrings, sparkle, whimsy, and the idea that maybe “less is more” has quietly turned into a life philosophy that asks us all to become smaller versions of ourselves. Inspired by a series of Instagram and TikTok posts about “normalizing overdressing,” “living in gray,” and reclaiming joy, this episode dives into: Why “YOU are the occasion” is such a powerful reframe. The psychology of Enclothed Cognition and how clothing can influence mood, confidence, and emotional experience. The cultural pressure toward neutrality, practicality, and emotional minimization. Why so many women are socialized to tone themselves down and avoid being “too much.” How adulthood became associated with restraint, muted joy, & “emotionally beige” living. The connection between joy, self-expression, visibility, and the concept of Deferred Life. Why reclaiming whimsy may actually be an act of self-reclamation. From Disney ears and pirate night themes to the “closet graveyard” of aspirational purchases and unworn outfits, this episode reflects on what it means to stop postponing aliveness and start fully participating in your own life. Because maybe being “too much” was never actually the problem. Maybe too many of us were simply taught that joy should be quieter than it deserves to be. Key Takeaways: • Less is not always more • Whimsy is not immaturity • Joy is not frivolous • Self-expression is not a character flaw • You do not need a special occasion to fully show up inside your own life So wear the fancy dress. Use the good perfume. Drink the good wine. Wear the ears. Take the photo. Because life is short. And Less is BORE!

The new pod is all about Whimsy, a storied and chronically-online term that we think best describes our approach to menswear. To us, Whimsy is about Free Will, our agency to make things fun and amusing just for ourselves, a sentiment that we wished people would lean into more. We talk about how Whimsy permeates through our love of details and particular garments as well as to our juxtaposition-heavy and sometimes off-kilter styling. But ultimately, we believe the Whimsical thing you can do is PLAY in your clothes: go to trivia dressed as a cowboy, wear a tux to listen to the Phil, wear a straw hat on a picnic, or wear a suit to sit at home and relax. Whimsy is about dressing with agency!

Jon Herold sits down with Jeanine Garcia of A Bit of Whimsy, a boutique tucked into a 100 year old building in Iron River, Michigan, right in the heart of the Upper Peninsula. What started as a whispered phrase during a quiet moment staring across the street at a building for sale became a faith driven leap into small town retail. Jeanine walks Jon through the two and a half year renovation, the gut punch of being almost ready to open when COVID hit, and how a phrase she heard in 2017 suddenly made sense in the dark summer of 2020. She also shares the real challenge of sourcing 85% American made goods, why she keeps losing her favorite domestic clothing companies, and how sales at the boutique are finally trending upward after years of decline. Plus, she is bringing a pop up shop to the Deadwood GART and encourages everyone to check their closet tags. You might be surprised.

Plus: His Crazy Car Accident, Comic Books, Letters From Prison, Hegseth, Hampshire College Closing and More! Comedians are under attack. The MAGA machine has pushed Stephen Colbert off the air, gone after Jimmy Kimmel, and skipped a comedian at the White House Correspondents Dinner for the first time in memory. That's not an accident — it's the playbook of every authoritarian regime that ever feared a punchline. Paul Rieckhoff sits down with his old college friend, beloved comedian and actor Eugene Mirman — Bob's Burgers, Flight of the Conchords, and the new special Here Comes the Whimsy — for a candid, funny, and unexpectedly moving conversation about what it means to make people laugh while the rigged two-party system burns and Trump and the executive branch goes all gas, no brakes. Eugene, a refugee from a genuinely authoritarian country, doesn't sugarcoat it: Trump's instincts are fascist, the cruelty is the point, and the use of state power to threaten billion-dollar companies into firing comedians is straight out of the thug-regime handbook. But he also refuses nihilism — America, he argues, is too big and too used to freedom to be wholly silenced, and that's exactly why the work of comedians, podcasters, and independent voices matters right now. Along the way the two cover Eugene's harrowing New Hampshire car crash and rescue, the absurd unqualified men running the Pentagon and the VP's office, comic books as hopeful dystopia, and why the angry middle should keep laughing — and keep showing up. Eugene Mirman is one of the most respected comedic voices of his generation. A refugee from the former Soviet Union, he is best known as the voice of Gene Belcher on Bob's Burgers and as the landlord on Flight of the Conchords, and was a regular on Adult Swim's Delocated. He co-founded the Pretty Good Friends comedy company in the basement of Brooklyn's Union Hall, has opened for The Shins, Modest Mouse, Yo La Tengo, Gogol Bordello, and Cake, and was named best New York City comedian by The Village Voice. A graduate of Hampshire College — where he designed his own major in comedy and delivered a one-hour stand-up set as his thesis — his latest special is Here Comes the Whimsy. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Watch/hear Eugene Mirman's hilarious new special album: Here Comes the Whimsy. -Check out Eugene's Pretty Good Friends.  -Ditch your expensive carrier and support Independent Americans!
