The Happiest Sad Person Podcast

Send us Fan Mail A solo episode on film, who would have ever thought? I hit the depression that can come with birthdays, the power in getting older and what exactly (or inexactly) is my purpose. It's meta, it's honest. And hopefully it's coherent. :) Also this episode ended early, but stay tuned for a nice long episode coming your way soon. In the meantime, here is me being raw and...

Send us Fan Mail Join myself, Ali Jacobs, my brother Nate, and a dear friend, Jack, for a deep dive on the 2020 election and what a Biden win means to us and for us. We do discuss the future of the Republican Party, ruminate on our dream candidates, and speak truth to power on what music can do for culture and the trajectory of politics. And we pitch a new show, tentatively titled, "Orange is...

Send us Fan Mail Another solo episode answering the meta question of what's in a name, musing on giving yourself permission to move on from something that's not serving you and reveling in the fact that now everyone is on my usual level of existential dread.

Send us Fan Mail Episode #10 of The Happiest Sad Person Podcast. Join myself, Ali Jacobs, and my brother Nate to discuss the tediousness that is emails and texts, the power of being generally aware of how money works and, ultimately, we seek to answer the ever-important question: Who is Banksy?

Send us Fan Mail Episode #7 of The Happiest Sad Person Podcast. Recorded on 5/31 during the George Floyd protests; there's no introduction as my brother Nate and I got right into a discussion of racial injustice and what in the hell is going on in America right now. We also questioned the two party system, critiqued my script and delved into the need for humans to tell stories. A lovely juxta...

Send us Fan Mail Episode #8 of The Happiest Sad Person Podcast. Another solo episode unpacking the absurdity that is making a podcast, noting the start of my intermittent fasting and discussing the seasons of friendships. Some people come into your life not for a long time, but for a good time -- and often that opens up your life for the next best thing or the actual better thing. As always: email...

Send us Fan Mail My guest today is Kalí Alfaro, a Perth-based psychologist and hypnotherapist. We discuss her beginnings in psychology and the impetus for her starting clinical hypnotherapy, the process of hypnosis and it’s benefits for all stages of a human being’s life, and delve into the importance of a holistic, well-rounded and ever-evolving wellness practice. This conversation was so fascina...

Join myself, Ali Jacobs, and my brother Nate once again while he teaches me about the S&P 500 (FYI: I still don't quite know what it is), laugh at people protesting the quarantine and find out if there are female incels. All in all, a pretty well-rounded and normal conversation. Email suggestions at 11jacobsa@gmail.com. Follo...

Send us Fan Mail Here's to the first solo episode of The Happiest Sad Person Podcast. It was a process, but I'll get better at them -- Scout's Honor. It was a major hurdle to jump through -- being honest about why I started the podcast and embracing my vulnerable side. I know, so cringey to say, but it is better than it sounds -- hopefully. But it felt cathartic to be honest and jus...

Send us Fan Mail Episode #5 of The Happiest Sad Person Podcast.

Send us Fan Mail Bit the bullet and am finally uploading solo episode #2 of The Happiest Sad Person Podcast. In this episode I wax poetic about getting into the solo recording groove, discuss the ever-present quarantine and get into the nitty-gritty of a pilot script I wrote during lock-down (I tried to pull a very mediocre Shakespeare). It's all over the place, but in a fun way -- I promise:...
