Description

Welcome to the Carousel of Happiness Podcast.

On today's episode, we celebrate the life and legacy of one of the carousel's most ardent supporters and ambassadors, Doug Cosper. Doug passed away from cancer this past July.

In addition to being a lifelong journalist and educator, Doug was a close friend of Scott’s and one of the carousel’s earliest supporters. You’ll hear how Doug crammed multiple lifetimes into one, traveling the world, speaking truth to power as a reporter, mentoring journalists in young democracies abroad, and building multiple family homes. All while supporting his friend, Scott, and his a "crazy" carousel idea.
