Good News: Recent Episodes
Mosa Marumo
With the influx of bad news over the course of the world dealing with the global pandemic that is Covid-19, the need for some positive news grew. This inspired me, Muse Marumo, to start this positive podcast aimed at brightening your day for a few minutes to offer the perfect distraction from mainstream news and the shock of what's happening around us. Since hearing good news has been scientifically proven to be beneficial to one's health, this might be the perfect place to visit for a bit of a bad news break.
This episode explores a few community memebers making big differences in the lives of the homeless. From shoe donations to formal-wear that could help these forgotten members of society get reintegrated into society

Since this podcast is the product of Covid-19 in the sense that it was inspired by the arrival of the virus and the toll it took on our mental health (amongst other things), this episode explores 5 positive updates regarding the virus. Considering the words 'positive' and 'virus' shouldn't be in the same sentence, this episode proves to be quite interesting, reminding us once again that there is always a silver lining even in the worst of situations
