This week we've got a special crossover episode, starring Alex of Time For Your Hobby, which is a podcast about peculiar hobbies and pastimes. Much like our own show, What Makes You Happy?, Alex finds friends, neighbors and acquaintances with unusual hobbies and asks them about the specifics of their chosen pursuit. Today he's with us to talk about his own chosen hobby, podcasts themselves. In this rather meta episode of What Makes You Happy?, prepare to learn a little bit about the world of podcasting.

According to a study by Society for Personality and Social Psychology, valuing your time more than you value your money is correlated with greater happiness. They looked at six studies encompassing more than 4,600 participants, and found that there is an almost even split between people who place a higher premium on time, or a higher premium on money. So go ahead and spend time doing what you love, like listening to podcasts about doing what you love.
