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.

The Wondery app is a new comedy podcast from Wondery that leans into our most absurd anxieties

and defuses them with humor and actual advice. Listen to Don't Panic on the Wondery app

or wherever you get your podcasts.

Before we get started a little special announcement before you we started a 10% happier newsletter

that the word newsletter doesn't sound particularly exciting but let me just say this in its

defense, I have found personally that a great way to stay engaged in meditation and mental

upkeep generally is to read about it because it's really easy if you're trying to meditate

with any regularity for it to feel kind of stupid just to sit there watching your breath

coming in and going out and you can lose touch with the intellectual infrastructure of

the thing. So reading great articles can really help.

So we started this newsletter you can sign up for it at 10%happier.com slash newsletter

and you'll get all the we we're sort of collecting all the latest and greatest writing about

meditation and putting it in one place for you. So there you go also we'll have links

in there to free guided meditations if you want to do it on the 10% happier app.
