"I think the best silver lining I have is that this year I decided to focus on attitudes of gratitude." - Peachy Healy
This week, in addition to hearing from Peachy Healy, we have two more callers who share a story about a woman getting free beer and a new album that brightened someone's week. As for the artist spotlight, it's Gus Constantellis who released a 30-minute stand-up special during quarantine called "Pepper." You can follow Gus and all his hilarious content on Instagram @constatlygus.
As for other Good News, the Girl Scouts are still selling, and donating, their famous cookies, a bar finds a clever to pay laid off employees, and a 99 year-old World War Two veteran raises $22 million for the U.K.'s National Health Service
As is the show, I'm looking to hear from you, and I'm putting out a challenge. This week, take 5 minutes to sit down and record a conversation with someone you love about their silver linings. Then, send it my way. As always, you can call 917-960-7635 and leave a voicemail or send an audio recording of some good news to connorkwiecien@gmail.com with the subject line Good News. Just make sure you have the source for the info if there is one other than you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
