Meander with Me, Closing Out the Season

from Meanderings with Trudy · host Trudy Chapman

In this final meander of the season, I spend a little time and go back over my work these past five years to see if I can articulate a more satisfactory definition of joy. Not the noun or the verb, but the concept of joy. With help from a few dictionaries, and a few poets, as well as my many guests, I show you where I’ve landed. I’m keen to hear what you think about this, so please take note, and send comments to me at [email protected]. I read everything you send.I hope you enjoy this episode.

Just how DO I define joy? After five years of podcasting and almost 180 episodes, I’m still not sure how to put my arms around the concept of it.
