Welcome back to the Rick's Rambles Podcast, where stories uplift and good news still matters!

In this week’s episode, we kick off with some fun facts about one of Indiana’s most beloved entertainers—Red Skelton, a fellow Hoosier who brought laughter to millions. Then it's on to our Good News Story of the Week, highlighting the surprising mental health benefits of travel. And don’t worry—it’s not just about flying overseas. Sometimes, just stepping outside your own zip code is enough to recharge your spirit.

Our Story Behind the Song segment dives into the 1972 hit Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) by Looking Glass—one of the most iconic one-hit wonders of the 70s. We wrap things up with a look at the special days and holidays for the upcoming week!

🔔 A quick reminder: I’ll be off the mic for the next two weeks, but you can still follow my journey from the Emerald Isle on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Blue Sky—just search Rick’s Rambles for updates, photos, and stories from Ireland!

Listen now and keep the ramble going!
