A Funny Thing Happened: Recent Episodes
Joy and special guests
Joy Taylor is a natural storyteller, she has more stories to tell than she has time to write them down. A podcast is the perfect outlet. Each week Joy will join her daughter Ginger or random friends who love to laugh. Every episode is a new side splitting story, just what we need right now and who doesn't need that. There are no murders or missing people just a whole lot of shenanigans. Joy never lets the truth get in the way of a good tale but all of her stories have actually happened which makes it even more hilarious. The amazing artwork is by Joys daughter Ginger Taylor and the theme song by Hana Breneki and friends is so catchy you will find yourself singing it for days . If you don't laugh out loud we will give you your money back.
So many funny stories of Ireland. Also if you are ever in Belfast and you see huge graffiti saying KILL ALL PRODS, run
This story is too unbelievable and to be honest even I struggle to get my head around it all.
The only thing is it is too good to be kept secret.
Something a bit different. I have written a book full of stories of my childhood and I have decided to read one of the chapters from it. I am really putting myself out there as this is not one of my funny stories.
Did we get into the Playboy Mansion or didn't we.

One of my favourite jobs I ever had was working for Mignonne Siemer at the craziest Indian restaurant you could ever imagine.
This podcast is slightly different from the norm as I had Gypsy and her friends in the studio to record stories from their incredible Halloween parties that span 15 years.
They are hard to describe but we gave it a shot. Hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed the parties.

That time Deane worked with Terry Jones on what might have been the next Life of Brain. I love this insight into behind the scenes shenanigans.
34 - This is a very short episode about a prank call that went terribly wrong. Hope it puts a smile on your dial.
Joy tells a few funny stories about twins in her family, being a twin herself and buying talking eggs for the twins she minds.
I was going to call this episode the Chris Isaak Chronicles but my husband Deane thought 'I DID A BAD BAD THING' was more appropriate and I have to agree.
I have announced the winner of the Nightmare before Christmas illustration and an extra surprise. There will be a second and third prize as well, Deane has generously offered to draw a couple of extras, they will be smaller but no less fabulous.
I have told one of my all time favourite stories right after so stay tuned.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER AND THE RUNNER UPS.

I had the pleasure of interviewing my husband Deane Taylor about being the art director on Nightmare before Christmas. No holds barred, all questions are on the table and I answer listeners questions as well.
One of my favourite stories happened when our son Eddy decided to put on a big red foam nose for the school photo. What happens after is just a comedy of errors. It's a family tradition, no really.
