May 3, 2020 - Random Acts of Kindness & Graduations

In the US, it's apparent that people are finding ways to celebrate graduations despite them being cancelled due to COVID-19. And, around the world people are continuing to do random acts of kindness. It seems that almost two months into quarantine, people are still finding ways to get some good out of a bad situation. 

In addition to random acts of kindness and graduations, this week we hear more from Rose Cayetano and how her crocheting is helping people in need. And, this past week Captain Tom Moore celebrated his 100th birthday. Happy birthday and thank you for helping raise $39 million for the U.K.'s National Health Service.  

This week's artist spotlight is close to my heart: Angel Comedy. Angel Comedy is an institution at the heart of the UK comedy circuit run by comedians for comedians. And, it's where I first decided I was going to pursue stand-up comedy. 

To help support Angel Comedy and their comedians, you can donate to their Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/angelcomedy

Next week we have two big national holidays in the US. May 5 is National Teachers Day and May 6 is National Nurses Day. Good News: A Podcast is reliant on your call-ins to keep this show going, and what I’m asking this week is if you know a teacher or nurse, reach out to them, say thank you and please share their wonderful work with this podcast. Call-in with a shout out or story of all their hard work and shed some light on all the good they do. 

To share a good news story with this podcast, you can send an audio recording to [email protected], or call my google voice account and leave a message at 917-960-7635. From there, I can download the voice message and put it in the show. Just make sure you have the source for the info, if there is one other than you.
