Okay, Katie. Quick, rapid fire. What do you think about when you think about black stories?

Toni Morrison. Long novels. Zines. Very complex stories. Movie night with popcorn.

Lineage and history. BT awards. Hood motifs. I'm reliable narrators. So it's hard to condense

narrative that's so big into such a small space. But that's why we have the podcast. I'm Katie.

And I'm Eves. And on on theme, we tell stories about black stories. Listen to on theme on the

I Heart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. There's a place beyond this place.

For some, it's a bridge between the living and the dead.

Yet for others, there's something else entirely. Welcome to hip-hop horror stories.

I'm your host, Belly. And each week, we're going to take you to the limits of your imagination

as we explore the reality of their normal experiences. This is Belly. Listen to hip-hop horror stories

on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. Making new friends and maintaining

old friendships is a great way to boost your happiness. But sadly, we don't always feel up

for being sociable. If I was approaching a stranger, my heart would raise, I was going to throw up,

I just had so much anxiety around. So in a new season of the show, I'll tackle how to make firm

friendships firmer, right through to the joy you can find in talking to total strangers.

I'm very much enjoying your animal prints scoff, madam.

So listen to the Happiness Lab on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your shows.

One of our listeners, Jules, emailed us for a second date update. And she's worried that

after it was all said and done, she may have come across looking a little high maintenance.

We'll find out the details about that in just a minute. But first, Jules, welcome to the show.

Hi, I love you guys. So very happy and yet not happy to be here.
