WORLD GONE GOOD

Kate is the Girl with the Microphone. What happens when a fun prankster turns into a political influencer? She gets a worldwide following and dominates social media simply by telling her truth...with a microphone. Dive in with us as we find out why she feels we must hold our politicians - on both sides - accountable, if there's any line not worth crossing, and what it's like for us to both be in the Dead Dad Society (sorry Mom). Politics can make for awkward conversation but don't worry we know how to make it good. Be brave and join us for this new episode.

Dennis Hensley loves the 1970s - especially TV game shows that played in the middle of the day. His passion for games led to the creation of The MisMatch Game, the live game show that just passed the $200,000 raised amount benefiting the LA Gay & Lesbian Center. We talk the good of a good game, poking fun at ourselves and others, and helping others along the way. Dennis is also the co-creator of his own card game, You Don't Know My Life, and the host of his own podcast Dennis Anyone? Cook up some Rice-A-Roni, get your Turtle Wax out, and get your game on with this new episode!

Mariann Aalda is an advocate of aging shamelessly. She celebrates her age - and life - right where she is. We talk the good of aging fiercely, the difference between agism and ableism, why it's good to laugh our way thru whatever life throws at us, and her acting life including her time on The Edge of Night and playing Dorothy's cousin in The Wiz (this last story alone is worth the listen). If you've been hung up on your own digits, it's time to get over it, and get good with Aging Gone Good.

Have you lost your wonder? Scot Nery invites you to reconnect with it. From magic to juggling to life itself, Scot's relationship with wonder is what drives him, what fuels him, what gives him purpose. And he's definitely got the goods as he's the creator of Trip Advisor's #1 recommended show in Los Angeles, 'Boobie Trap.' This is a good conversation about believing in not just ourselves but also in the things we can and can not control. Isn't that what magic is all about? Hope you enjoy this back to good basics conversation about the good of wonder.

Check out their original episode in the episode guide wherever you pod - look for April 7, 2021.

Who's ready to make a change? Kathleen O'Grady and Mari Weiss return to the show to talk about their big life changes: Kathleen got a dog and Mari moved back home to Chicago. Oh and I made a change myself when I quit my job a few weeks back. Change is scary stuff - the unknown is scary stuff. But change can be so necessary and so rewarding. Join us as we explore the good of change and see if that change you've been thinking out gets a little push, maybe this helps you take the next leap.

Amy Ball lost her joy. So she hung up some signs with a phone number and requested people to call her if they had seen it. What happened next is the magic of connecting with strangers and sharing the same experience. Amy originally recorded this story with me over two years ago and I recently rediscovered it and thought, "This would make a great episode of World Gone Good." And then I thought, "This would be even better if Amy joined me today and shared her thoughts on it now." So that's what we did, people. Join us in our World Gone Good time machine as we travel back to 2020 and then return to the present on our search for joy.

Alethea Kehas started listening to her inner-voice and her life changed forever. Look, we're all stressed out, right? The last two years have been a shit show (how's that for World Gone Good positive language?). Alethea's stress may have happened a few years prior, but we can all relate to the headache or the migraine or the stomach problems. She decided to make a change, a mindset change, and it reverberated through her and healed her physically. Powerful stuff, the mind, heart and gut, donchathink? We talk about this, her practicing and teaching yoga and reiki, as well as her work as an author with two books published. And it all comes back to one common good thread: Listening - and trusting - our inner-voice.
