Nichole Perkins wants people to stop feeling bad about feeling good, and This Is Good For You lets you know you are never alone in what you like. Every episode, Nichole explores something that people love—whether it’s needlepoint, watching bad movies with friends, or cowgirl exercise classes—and asks experts and devotees why it makes them happy. She ends each show with an Indulgence: a recommendation listeners can enjoy with no remorse. There’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure when you learn to love it freely! To find out what’s good for you, listen to new episodes every other Friday.
At the beginning of 2020, I realized I didn’t have a hobby that was not monetized. One day, I was cleaning up a bit and came across a cross-stitch project I’d abandoned, and little angels started singing. So I talked to two people for whom needlecraft is really important: my mom and BadassCrossStitch.
