I listen to a number of episodes at one time using the play next option and it’s always a warm treasure and a reminder of the good all over the world. If uncertain or uneasy wondering if you should offer help , don’t hesitate, it will keep going forward.
Don’t Let This Gem Slip By
This little podcast is huge! At a time when many of us feel helpless to touch the myriad of problems and division we are experiencing, a podcast comes along showing us that a simple kindness can save a life, change a life, remain with someone the rest of their life. These short stories, told by the person experiencing them, carry so much power because they give hope.
I have noticed that real hero’s don’t feel they have don’t anything exceptional. These stories are about the nameless people who are unintentionally heroic. If I had to come up with a criticism, it’s only that the stories are so short, or that they don’t come every day.
