Description
Welcome to Kind! I'm Holly Newson, and I'm so glad you're here.
Kind is a show that gives acts of kindness, that are often pretty quiet, a much needed voice. You'll hear stories of the times people were kind to my guests and how that changed things. Which means you'll also hear about the times people let themselves be helped.
You can expect tales of funding ballistic underwear, the care of thoughtful doctors, time gifted by generous strangers, baked goods from talented neighbours, the consistent love of honest friends, and ways people have shown that they are truly family. You'll find out how a simple passing moment in your life could stay with someone else for years.
I'd love for you to be part of the community!
You can find us at kindpodcast.com, on Instagram @kind_podcast and on TikTok @kindpodcast
Get in touch across socials and via the website kindpodcast.com where you can share your own stories of kindness.
New episodes release on Tuesdays.
