If you casually flip on the TV, browse through the social media landscape, or tune in to the radio, you'll likely be presented with a never-ending array of stories focusing on negativity. Whether it's the latest political scandal, a celebrity's fall from grace, or a personal slugfest that plays out on Facebook, much of the information we consume tends toward the downward-facing. And things are pretty much the same in our entertainment selections--so-called true-crime stories offer real-life accounts of homicide, hatred, and prejudice.

We can do better.

This podcast was created with the belief that the world is still a wonderful place full of good people. Each episode will feature a bit of evidence that things aren't as bleak as they might seem. There are people learning, overcoming, and achieving amazing things every day. And rather than denying that real-life problems exist, this program seeks to help you recharge your batteries so that you can "rally" and get back to fighting your own good fight, whatever that may be. Host Rob Callan kicks off the podcast in this introductory episode.
