Kidding. Great videos, I hadn't seen them all yet.

Some ideas: relationships, creativity, happiness, the recession, guilty pleasures, memory / remebering.

thenewgreen, I would like to second happiness. I just got done watching Happy, and it would be interesting to see what people had to say about what makes them happy.

Memory would be great too!

I would definitely be interested to hear about what makes people in our community happy too. I wonder if it is too similar to the "fun" podcast that we did though? What do you think?

I just re-listened to the fun podcast, and I think it would be different enough. Maybe waiting for a few more podcasts to pass would be a good idea. But I feel that the idea of happiness is a much more profound idea than that of fun. Happiness isn't necessarily fun, and fun can be much more of a fleeting moment whereas happiness is (usually) prolonged. Especially when asking "what makes you happy?".

It might be nice to do an uplifting, human interest podcast and "what makes you happy" could certainly satisfy that.

I like "memory" it's a topic that could go in many different directions. Childhood, old age/dimentia, revisionist history etc. Good call.

Oh god I have a terrible memory.

Me too. I always have. I think it's because I live in the world of my head. I remember how things made me "feel" pretty well but I do not have a good memory for details etc. Narcissist much?

I'm the same way. It frustrates my boyfriend when he asks me how much something costs and my answer is "I don't remember, but I remember is was slightly more than I expected".

HA. That's hilarious. We had breakfast with some friends today and my pal Scott asked me where I got my hairs cut. I told him and he asked, "how much does it cost?" My response was, "I don't know, but I know that it seems reasonable."
