I know wrestling has a complicated reputation. Is it a sport? Is it entertainment? If it’s both, does that make it less than? Why do we need wrestling to be “real” but have no problems when soccer players flop on the field or when basketball players hunt for fouls? I have questions that can only be answered by getting in the squared circle.

About The Show

Nichole Perkins wants people to stop feeling bad about feeling good, and This Is Good For You lets you know you are never alone in what you like. Every episode, Nichole explores something that people love—whether it’s needlepoint, watching bad movies with friends, or cowgirl exercise classes—and asks experts and devotees why it makes them happy. She ends each show with an Indulgence: a recommendation that listeners can enjoy with no remorse. There’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure when you learn to love it freely! To find out what’s good for you, listen to new episodes every other Friday.
