This Is My Thing explores the ways we find and bring joy into our lives. It’s about the things we do not because it’s a job or a necessity, but simply because we love to do them.
You’ll meet a guy who finds satisfaction in using his metal detector to find other people’s lost objects and you’ll hear from a group of retired ladies who started a ukulele band just because it sounded fun. And that’s just the start.
Listen to the show on air on KUT on Tuesdays and on the KUT News Now podcast feed.
Support for This Is My Thing comes from locally-owned Eckert Insurance. "Worry less. Live more."
