  • Episode 1 - Some Happiness Is Predetermined - The Rest Is Up To You

    I am truly enjoying the WP ‘Try This’ already, I can honestly say. Tend to return soon. I certainly can use a defined up-lift of meaningfulness. It seem to me to be therapeutic.

    Also, on the subject of ‘getting lost’ , they’re right … it can be gratifying. I’ve been lost, and enjoyed finding.

  • I've liked the episodes so far, until the most recent electoral college episodes. This is not what the podcast is about. If I wanted to learn about how the US government works, there are endless podcasts on that very subject. I wouldn't go to a podcast called "Try This." I hope they go back to self-help, or unsubbing will be an easy decision.
