Sunny Side Up brings uplifting stories from around the world, offering a refreshing contrast to the daily news cycle. Each month, Eloise Phillips spotlights weekly positive international developments and features guests from all walks of life sharing personal moments of joy, alongside in-depth interviews with local changemakers shaping their communities.
On November 10th, 1960, D.H. Lawrence’s "Lady Chatterley’s Lover" was cleared for publication after one of the most famous obscenity trials in British history. But this was more than the story of a scandalous paperback - it was a turning point in who gets to decide what adults may read, what counts as art, and how far freedom of expression should reach. Today on Sunny Side Up’s This Week in Good History, I revisit the day Britain’s bookshops were besieged. Then, Amanda and I discuss what the Chatterley trial and the romance genre still teach us about censorship, choice, and freedom in the digital age.

EP0026 - Sharing Stories, Saving Places
This week, Jared joins me in the studio for a conversation about the positive stories unfolding in our respective hometowns. We dig into why communities deserve a central place in decision-making, from efforts to restore prairie land and create a park to the uncertain future of a 500-year-old barn whose fate still hangs in the balance. That’s all ahead on the show.
