Bloom Scroll

Stop doomscrolling and start Bloomscrolling!
Your mind, heart and spirit will thank you for it. This microdose of goodness is one way to achieve a healthy state of mind. The host is enthusiastic about the content without sounding condescending. Ponder all of behind the scenes folk that the stories are based on.

The quick pick-me-up that I definitely need

I simply love the quick dose of cheer in these episodes.
The regular host is kind and charming without ever being over the top. He seems to really enjoy sharing stories of goodness in nature, by humans, by dogs, in space, wherever the good stuff is found.
I'm always grateful for a new ep of the Good News podcast!
