Tiny Victories — Comedy
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.

Answering the Call for an Able-Bodied Volunteer Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

Are you the type of person who says, “I’m the type of person who…”? This week Guest host Maggie Rowe tells us about a recent experience where she challenged herself, and answered the call for “able-bodied” volunteers at the Zen Center to help move some rather large items. Annabelle recounts a cohabitation-with-the-boyfriend tiny victory that marks a new milestone in her life. Plus, a hotline caller might be great at something she’s never done.

So Happy for Your Mishap! Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

Let’s go ahead and put this out on the table now: there’s a LOT of drama behind the scenes at Tiny Victories. Well, a lot of tech drama. One of the hosts has a pretty good relationship with technology, and the other does not. This means that sometimes there are tech delays, and the start time gets pushed back. Last week was such a week. And this week, someone wants to gloat a little bit about last week. It’s kind of like schadenfreude, but with a bit of glee sprinkled in. This will make sense once you hear the episode. Plus, listener Josh calls in with the best bad trip turned good trip tiny victory.

The Kindness of Crafters Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

This week, Annabelle is moved by a group of really crafty people with big hearts. And if you, like Laura House, wonder if Annabelle was moved by a group of schemers as opposed to people into the craft arts, you are mistaken. Plus, a listener writes in with a pillow breakthrough. It’s a feel-good episode from start to finish!

Minnie’s Upright Canines Brigade Routine Jul 03, 2023

Show notes

Might as well get this out of the way: Laura House’s bull dog Minnie is more than a dogfluencer. She’s a student of improv as well. The dog’s got verve and moxie and “it”. But underneath her cute exterior, is a lil’ ball of feelings. This episode is for anyone who cares about their pets’ feelings. Plus, listener Julian writes in with a call-in victory.
