After becoming a regular reader/listener of Sally Clarkson, I came across Joy’s podcast, and am really enjoying making my way through from the oldest episodes available. I love that each time I listen I am inspired in my faith, and often learn something new about art, music, or history. Give her...Read full review »

There’s so much good in each episode but could really benefit from fine tuning the editing — for example, the coughing in the episode about enjoying things unironically was so jarring! The episodes are a bit dry but if you can power through them, there are beautiful takeaways.

I have to listen to each episode twice because they are so rich.

A treat for the mind, heart, and soul. Joy speaks to the Dorothy Sayers and the Anne Shirley in us all.

Jawthan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/20
This podcast is one of two that I turn to when I need a respite from the hectic overstimulation of life. I always come away from listening to an episode with at least one artist or piece of art that I want to learn more about. Over and over again, I find I need the weekly reminder to focus on...Read full review »

My teenage daughter and I are loving this podcast. It has become our go-to on Saturdays when driving to town. The subject content, the conversational tone, the music, the emphasis on beauty and truth and goodness is just what the doctor ordered. :)

I’ve listened to and read Joy’s work for a while. Her insights have been both comforting and convicting, so I decided to support her patreon as she completes her PhD.

Fast! Time passes so fast as I walk every morning with joy, I mean with Joy! Then, often, I try to get to my laptop to view the visual art, listen to more of the music and just check out the show notes. How I look forward to walking with you, Joy!

I really like the podcast where Joy is talking about books of music and art and the connections between them. The podcast where Joy is interviewing someone else or talking about various other topics I do not enjoy as much. I hope that joy will stick with books music and art.
