- I searched extensively for "good news."
Thank you for lighting a candle in the darkness for me & friends I recommended this podcast to! ❤️🩹 My only caveat would be that several minutes in a row of advertising & recommendations for other shows (Banned Camp) negatively cuts into the otherwise good experience. Luckily I've learned the timing to skip ahead in episodes. 👍

This podcast is an excellent counterbalance to all the bad news that permeates every aspect of life in a would-be authoritarian state. It helps me stay energized for the fight.

I needed to find good news instead of doom scrolling immediately after waking up. I was born with an Eeyore personality and our current political BS was interfering with my plan to be more like Piglet & Pooh-happy and curious!
I now start every day with this news podcast which has a lot of good stories you’ll never hear on regular news or podcasts.
I’m not Piglet yet but it helps!
