The Velvet Revolution

Society EN ↓ 63 episodes

Ever found yourself crying at a dog food commercial or laughing mid-catastrophe? Join us as we illuminate the weird and wildly complex world of human emotion. From joy and jealousy to love, rage, and everything in between, TVR unpacks the why behind our feelings, behaviours, and the often-surprising outcomes that follow. Part therapeutic, part philosophical rabbit hole, and part playful exploration, we attempt a herculean task: to build an A-Z of human experience, one honest conversation at a time. Tune in for stories, (pseudo) science, and the occasional existential crisis.
