The Love Good Podcast with Jimmy Mitchell

Summer bonus with The Hunts | An inside look at family bands and why conflict is often a good thing

In this episode, Jimmy hops home from Europe long enough to catch up with Josh Hunt, lead singer of the sibling band The Hunts. Josh shares his summer plans (family reunion in sunny Florida), and then they explore the evolution of the band, the challenges that come with being part of an opinionated (but loving) family, the band’s unique way of approaching songwriting, and the value of conflict in distilling decisions and outcomes. What does it really mean to collaborate, and to evolve? What’s it like to be on the “inside” of a family band? Josh and Jimmy dig in to these questions and more, and wrap things up with some solid music and literature recommendations.

In this unforgettable episode, Drew Holcomb joins Jimmy Mitchell in the studio for a conversation about why music kills loneliness, how millennials are challenging the mold set by their parents, and why all of us need to become culture makers.

With our final interview recorded in Europe, this episode is one nobody should miss. Jimmy bumped into his hero and favorite living novelist Corinna Tuner on Easter Sunday. Though brief, their encounter at a coffee shop in the midlands of England turned into a conversation about the creative process, second chances, and the feminine genius. Learn more about Corinna here: http://www.iammargaret.co.uk/
Beforehand, Jimmy and Janaya chat about the power of vulnerability and why so many of us are simply afraid to let ourselves be seen.

S1E19 | So what if coffee helps me love people (and Rome for the win!)

In this episode, host Jimmy Mitchell sits down with Toby Duckworth in Rome, Italy to discuss how media, family, and society give shape to our souls. Whether we realize it or not, we are all sons and daughters of our culture. With his perfectly English wit, Toby also shares his observations on the biggest differences between Americans and Brits.
Beforehand, Jimmy and co-host Janaya Trudel talk about self-denial as a cause for joy (and why Jimmy has a long way to go in detaching from his coffee addiction).

S1E18 | Against the odds: goodness in the age of secularism (from the U.K.)

Halfway through his European adventure, Jimmy sat down with John Withers and Imogen Fell in Walsingham, England. Working closely with a U.K. organization called Youth 2000, John and Imogen are as convinced as we are that investing in young people is the secret sauce to changing the world. Beforehand, Jimmy and co-host Janaya Trudel unpack the transcendentals with the help of Immanuel Kant and Hans Urs von Balthasar.
