WORLD GONE GOOD

Merry it up: Our good guests Jaci Pund, Katherine Roberts, Donna Perkett, and Keri & Tom from Snow Windows are all here to bring some shiny(ness) and some bright(ness) to your holidays. We are talking everything that's good this season from sausage bread to remodeling Santa's wardrobe to kidney transplants (yes you read that correctly). This is an annual tradition here at World Gone Good that's filled with laughter and some happy tears, along with snow heaps of inspiration and uplifting conversation. And we prove, as always, there's good out there and lots of it especially at this time of year. Happy WHATEVER you celebrate this month!

At just 12 years old, Connor Wright decided the world needed more kindness and so Connor's Kindness Project was born. Connor along with his nana, Sharon Marrama, started creating Covid Care Packages filled with activities and comfort items and delivered them to children in their community that were sick or in isolation from Covid. From there, Connor and Sharon worked on a few other projects including compiling self-care baskets for the healthcare workers at Boston area hospitals, held a clothing and essentials drive to benefit another nonprofit, Catie’s Closet and collaborated with Birthday Wishes to build and delivered 42 “birthday-in-a-box” for children in shelters. Since then, the kindness-doing-duo have helped over 10,000 kids embrace and spread kindness thru their special school project as well as corporate kindness for companies. These two are proof we're never too young or too old to make some serious good happen in the world.

Keri and Tom from Snow Windows join us to spread some holiday cheer. It all started back in 2007 when one Christmas Eve Tom decided to surprise her with a snow scene on their kitchen window. Tom has always been artistic and thought of a new way to use regular snow spray to decorate. He sprayed it onto the window and brushed an image of a little house into the spray. And the rest, as they say, is holiday history. Keri and Tom share the joys of working together, the art of doing the art itself, why being nostalgic is a good thing and so much more merriness. Join us as we kick off the holiday season by skating across the pond to the UK to chat the good chat with our new friends at Snow Windows.

We talk everything that's good from loving your own self just as you are, right where you are to how preschool children can destroy you with one single sentence to why we all need to be glitter. Yes. Actual glitter. This is the Thanksgiving episode you didn't know you needed but damn are you gonna be so thankful for. So on that note, as Alethea herself would say, "Ya welcome!"

Grey James is a good target. That's the title Grey has chosen in light of what is going on in Grey's community. And just what is going on? Well, the same thing that's happening across the United States: An assault on books, history, sex education, and in this case, LGBQT+ equality and rights. Grey shares his journey as an artist, how he strives to bring his community together, and why some people in that community are pushing back against it. Conversations like these aren't always the easiest to have, participate in and listen to, but that's what we do here at World Gone Good: We look for the light and find the light in the darkness to prove there's still good out there and lots of it. This good story - and it is a good story, trust us - was brought to our attention by previous good guest Laura Brody and for that we say, thank you.

AC Sloan is the author of Suffer! Yes - with an exclamation point. Fear not, you will not suffer with or without an exclamation point reading her delicious novel nor will this happen listening to our oh so good conversation. Warning: Two writers on the podcast at the same time. Eeeek. No - Hurray exclamation point! We talk the good of being creative, putting yourself out there, and what happened that time Ann (that's how I know her) named the flight number on the series Lost without anyone checking with the producers of the show first - drama as good as her novel, that's what, people.

Drew Droege invites us aboard Titanique, the smash hit off-Broadway parody of Titanic featuring the music of the one and only Celine Dion. Drew's career spans everything from Reno 911 to Bob's Burgers to Hot In Cleveland to his original videos re-imagining and saluting Chloe Sevigny, he's always careful not to cross the line to get a laugh. He shares what it's like growing up in a funny family, who his idols are, and why it's important to get a little nervous before taking center stage. Here's hoping we get through this new good episode without hitting an iceberg or being sued by Ms. Dion.
