Well done. You've sorted through the embarrassment of riches that is the modern podcast landscape

and found me Rob Briden on my podcast. In this series of Briden and I talk to among

others Harry Hill, Ben Elton, Charlotte Church, Steve Cougan and Dame Harriet Walter.

And that's just a few. We tend to chat for about 45 minutes to an hour never longer.

It's terrific conversation, reminiscent where appropriate and exchange of anecdotes.

So do join me Rob Briden wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes of Briden and

are available early and ad free on Amazon Music or by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple

Podcasts or the Wondery app.

From ABC, this is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey, hey, our guest this week

is a true badass. You'll hear from Janelle McCauley coming up, Lieutenant Colonel Janelle McCauley

coming up. First though a piece of business and then I want to take a few calls. The business

is we've got a brand new course launching on the 10% happier app, which is awesome. All

of our courses are awesome, but this one's extra awesome. It's with our most popular

teacher, Joseph Goldstein, who is my meditation teacher. We went up to his living room.

He lives in Murrell Central, Massachusetts on the grounds of the legendary insight meditation

society. We went into his living room with some lucky users of the app and we did a course

based around these phrases, these catch phrases, these nuggets of wisdom, I call them wisdom

bombs, that he's developed or appropriated over the course of five decades of meditation

practice and meditation teaching. We drilled down on these various phrases that are incredibly

useful. They can reduce stress, provide perspective, and the first part of what will be a multi-multipart

course goes up on the app, is already up on the app and it focuses on compassion and why

it's good for you. Why it feels good to be nice rather than unkind. So that's the business.
