Not many people can say that they found a love for podcasts by actually making one, but that’s what happened to me. Good News: A Podcast's goal is to find the good news out there. We searched to report the kind of news that would make you say “Wow! The world still has some good in it.”
My role was to find positive news stories, write script segments, and co-host episodes.
A few episodes are linked below for your listening amusement.
We did it! We completed our investigative report! We interviewed Neil from Cards Against Humanity's "The Good News Podcast" to get to the bottom of our spike in listens. But, we wouldn't necessarily classify what we did as investigative reporting. Thankfully, we had Tess Novotny on who's studied the subject at the University of Oregon to help explain what true investigative journalism is. As always, we have a week in the news and, more importantly, good news.
It's well known that you can be ordained online, but what do you know about it? How easy is it? And, who of the hosts is not ordained? This week in the news, we cover congressional retirements, the State of the Union, and DACA. For good news, we look towards the NFL, EPA, Costa and back on the good that happened in 2017.
"How are things defined?" - "With definitions of course!" But, what's journalism's definition? We wonder the same thing. In this episode - we're back. Hopefully that's good news to you. What we've brought back with us is a week in the news, an upcoming investigation and, as always, more good news. *Warning - Questionable Audio Quality for the First Six Minutes* - Connor forgot to change the recording settings when producing the first segments of the show. If you're bothered by the substandard quality, skip to minute six.
We're back! In this non-episode, we introduce Olivia Howe to the show, give you a little more info about us, the hosts, and provide some breaking news.
