**Tiny Victories**

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.

We also hear from a guy named Rich with an incredible story that we’re choosing to believe, even if one particular aspect of his tale sounds like it may have been concocted by an ad exec from a major corporation. Still, it’s a good story!

**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.

Coins & Ammo: The Saga of Two Texas Siblings Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

Definition of numismatics

nu·mis·mat·ics | \ ˌnü-məz-ˈma-tiks

The study or collection of coins, tokens, and paper money and sometimes related objects (such as medals)

Texan nu·mis·mat·ics: (same as above, but with ammo)

When Laura House and her older brother inherit their grandfather’s coin collection, it falls on her to find out if they're millionaires or not because big brother is safeguarding the Internet and is simply too busy. Will Laura be able to take on the daunting responsibility of researching each coin’s value? Or will she wind up selling the collection for $200, only to see it appraised for $3,000,000 on an episode of Antiques Roadshow? To find out, you'll have to join us as we dive into the weird and wondrous world of numismatics.

Look for the Helpers Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

This week, Joanna from St. Louis calls into the Tiny Victory Hotline to tell us about a tiny victory she found in the immediate aftermath of a harrowing car accident, and another caller found herself in need of help after getting stuck in the snow in Utah. This episode is a good reminder that no matter how shaken your faith in humanity might be, things might not be as dire as you think. Listen to us this week if you need reminding that there is such a thing as the kindness of strangers.

Next week’s show is inspired by the discovery of a snack bar in Pompeii, and Laura and Annabelle want to hear from listeners who might be as delighted by this news as they are. If that describes YOU…
