Join Jessica and Non as they navigate the joyful seas, from puddle jumping, Labradors, and books to odd scientific discoveries, language, life with giant horses that want to stomp on your brains, and everything in between. Joy Sandwich is hosted by real-life partners and lifelong joy mongers, Jessica and Non.

On Episode 87 of the Joy Sandwich podcast, we change our format completely in honor of getting to know each other, and, as we say over and over again in so many different ways in the episode, Resist and Reject Artifice with Lee and Jason!  For two hours, we run the gamut, from film criticism, writing, the mood and expectations that filter our life experiences to the story of how Lee and Jason collaborated, Lee's love life and screenwriting passions, Jason's parenting and underwear adventure, when Jessica wanted to be a horse, and the time Non got kicked out of a waterpark for life. Special thanks to our new friends, Lee and Jason! And thanks to you, joy mongers, for listening! And as always, embrace your joy!   JOYFUL LINKS Atlantic Screen Connection on Instagram Jason on Twitter Lee on Twitter Big Picture Reviews Joy Sandwich on Patreon Joy Sandwich on Twitter Joy Sandwich on Instagram Subscribe and rate/review in iTunes!
