‘Unknown Joys’ is simply one person talking about a thing they’re deeply passionate about and the accompanying joy. Sometimes this joy is under the surface and needs to be coaxed out by a few simple questions.
Episode 6 of the Unknown Joys podcast hosted by Joel Wilson.
Is there a person, an item or activity that triggers a burst of joy within you? In each episode of Unknown Joys I encourage someone to unpack why their particular passion moves them.
This time our guest is Luke Sewell and his passion is the world of JRR Tolkien. Luke has particularly enjoyed exploring the theme of the Eucatastrophe in Tolkien's work. You can find Luke's linoprint art including Middle Earth-related prints on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukeprints/

Unknown Joys Episode 4: Photography - Daisy Aigbe
Episode 4 of the Unknown Joys podcast hosted by Joel Wilson.
What brings you joy? A lot of people I speak to say 'family' or 'friends'. And for me a BBQ with friends is right up there near the top of the joy charts. In each episode of Unknown Joys we spend time with someone as they share one thing they’re particularly passionate about. Our guest Daisy Aigbe talks about her love for photography.
