Ryan Basham & Tara Devlin are two loud and proud activists, both on a good mission to keep democracy alive. Look, we get it, no one wants or needs another show about politics. But politics are part of our life whether we like it or not so why don't we do what we do best here on World Gone Good and hold hands, dive in, and find the light in the darkness together? Ryan and Tara share their goals in spreading the word as they strive to do on a daily basis and offer up good suggestions for what we can do as citizens and members of our own communities both locally and at large. Is it too late? They don't think so. Is there any hope left? They say hell yeah and plenty of it if we all do our part. This is the goos democracy show you've been needing. ------------------------------------------- Solve the cozy mystery of DROWN TOWN - Steve's first novel is available now: Amazon: https://amzn.to/478W8mp OR Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/3Mv7cCk
Heather Tyler loves being creative especially when she gets to be creative alongside other creative people.

Vanessa Marshall's motto? There's nothing to get, only to give. You may not recognize her face but you know her voice as she's brought to life Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Star Wars Rebels' Hera, Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy and even Spiderman's girlfriend Mary Jane - and that's just to name a few. You can hear her on TV and radio voicing promos and commercials and countless video games where she's part of the fun. Now she's using that voice to uplift others, specifically charities and organizations she's passionate about, by playing games - literally - and inviting us all to join in on the fun. We talk everything from growing up as part of Hollywood royalty to becoming a plus-sized model to how we first met (we have different versions/memories of this) and so much more. It's always great when friends stop by to share their good and Vanessa is here to do just that. ------------------------------------------- Solve the cozy mystery of DROWN TOWN - Steve's first novel is available now: Amazon: https://amzn.to/478W8mp OR Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/3Mv7cCk

Angela Briones is the proud host of The Gay Podcast for Everyone - and when she says everyone, she means everyone. Whether you align yourself as gay or straight, we all have room to learn from and grow with one another. And that includes Angela herself who discovered her own bias just by doing her show and that discovery caused her to dive deeper and become more open. We talk about the straight parents raising LGBQT kids she features on her show, how she came out to her own parents and whether or not they made it out alive from an escape room (not necessarily in that order). This is another example of how much the world is changing and evolving - and how acceptance, support and love are our shared experience. ------------------------------------------- Solve the cozy mystery of DROWN TOWN - Steve's first novel is available now: Amazon: https://amzn.to/478W8mp OR Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/3Mv7cCk

We catch up about life on the farm including how she's gone from two to ten cows rescued (plus another twenty placed) and how she's grown as a person and a care-giver of animals over the last few years. Denise is one of the most honest guests we've ever had - meaning she wears her heart on her sleeve and at the same time questions her own steps she has made and keeps making in her effort to do more good in the world (who of us hasn't?). We also discuss the Valentine's Day FaceTime I received from one of her cows. Yes. Seriously. It happened. Great to have her back on another episode with us. ------------------------------------------- Solve the cozy mystery of DROWN TOWN - Steve's first novel is available now: Amazon: https://amzn.to/478W8mp OR Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/3Mv7cCk
