The world is full of negative news stories, that’s why the On a Positive Note podcast looks to what’s right with the world first and then uses that knowledge to make what’s wrong with the world better a little bit better (or maybe even irrelevant). In this inaugural episode we begin this series on a positive note by sharing four positive news stories from around the world, along with a penny whistle solo. Enjoy!
