    I love the fact that Danny helped out so much. I have Glycogen Storage Disease just like Jonah and I wish my friends could do that for me. :)

    This podcast is so amazing!
    This podcast is so funny, emotional, and joyful. If you want to listen to something that makes you laugh, cry, or smile, this is the right podcast for you. It also helps you sleep sometimes. Or maybe that’s just me. The sound of people talking just makes me sleepy. Have a nice day, hope the review helped! -Moon_йсосо (A YouTuber and Podcast Reviewer)

    Kind World-I’m miss you
    I have listened to the Kind World podcast for years. You’ve made me cry and laugh and lifted my faith in people each time I listened. You’ve touched thousands of hearts. And during this very difficult time in our world, I will miss you lots. Thank you.

    Thank you! You touched so many. Please come back again. These times need a reminder of kindness in the middle of all the mess and angst we experience every day. Keep lighting a candle in the darkness.

    Makes and Impact
    I stumbled across Kind World midway through Covid19 pandemic, new to podcasts this was life altering. It was a stressful time and each day I listened to 1-3 episodes daily on my walk and it made me feel better and that I could get through. I “saw” hope in listening to those stories. That despite all of the horrific things that happen and not so great people there are people whose small acts (even the hosts) that there is good in the world. Thank you for uncovering these. I am heartbroken to hear it’s over. Ihope we can find a way to bring this back.

    Giving can make us happier
    I really appreciate the messages this podcast conveys. Kindness can be expressed in so many ways. I am new to listening to podcasts, but this is one of my favorites. I am terribly sad that it is being cancelled. If there is something we need in these trying times is hope, generosity, selflessness.

    Thank you “easy listening “ for doing what you do, mining podcasts and presenting absolute gems like this one. Thank you two for this much needed pod. You’re doing great work.

    Raising Kind Kids
    I love this podcast and all of the positivity it spreads, but this episode was really disappointing. There were a lot of “shoulds”, blanket statements, and generalizations. It was void of nuance and seemed to speak to data without actually address economic and racial disparities. Too bad. It was a great idea but I think your “expert” could work on the info he’s sharing and the way he is doing it.

    Must Listen
    This has always been the one of my favorite podcasts, but now I need it more than ever. During this sad time while we are all staying at home and people are dying of COVID19, we need to hear these wonderful stories of human kindness. I listen while I am out walking and getting my required vitamin D. Thanks to the entire team! Fantastic and awesome show 💕

    Great show, annoying hosts
    Love the show and the inspiring, touching, and uplifting stories. However, listening to the hosts state their names and that they are producers multiple times over a fifteen minute podcast is unnecessary and grating. I get it. You only need to introduce yourself once per show. These two have no presence or chemistry. Bring back Erica. The show was much better with her.

    ¡Much hora!

    Uplifting!
    This show makes me want to be a kinder and better person. So nice and moving to hear all the wonderful ways people affect others.

    Uplifting
    A short and sweet anitdote to all the bad news flooding our lives. I listen and remember people are good all the time in so many ways. Highly recommended
  • Fyliao
    Unkind people won’t listen to this
    Of course this podcast deserves 5 stars. Anything promoting the positive in human kind deserves recognition and support. With the group of people in this world who’s objectives are to abuse others (including to hurt, to deceit, to ridicule, to oppress, to manipulate), any podcast is not going to change that. People being seriously affected by abusers are still wounded inside and trying to look ok on the outside. For people who are genuinely or naturally good, this podcast is preaching to the converted. Giving it 3 stars because this podcast isn’t really going to change anything that needs changing.
  • AlexaMalice
    A good balance to bad news
    I love Terrible, Thanks for Asking but it can be heavy. So happy I found this podcast. It helps balance out other stories from the world. Thanks!
  • Jjjjhhhgggf
    AMAZING
    I love how positive the podcast is AMAZING
  • Willow Ann
    Please change your sponsor
    This podcast is inspiring, but I don’t let my girls listen because your sponsor is so cringey. I don’t want my young daughters hearing about women worrying about their weight. Please find another sponsor- it’s sending the wrong message.
  • Dragonlady Gigi
    Love it because it is so positive and uplifting
    I really wish that these came out more often because I love the lift they give to me.
  • Nathan S Emerson
    My favorite podcast!
    This podcast really is s blessing. The world is such a rough place, the news is so often cynical, but this podcast lifts up the ordinary-extraordinary kindness that people are capable of. Listening to this podcast helps me to see ways in which I can give to others. I truly appreciate Kind World.
  • chantellmichelle

    Beautiful conversation starters for families!
    The kids found Kind World for our long commute to school, and it quickly became a family favorite. We are all obsessed and have had some amazing conversations arise from the stories shared on the podcast. Thank you for giving us such a great way to begin many of our days and for building our empathy muscles!

    What we all need right now
    These woman are accomplished! Show done very well. Excellent stories well presented
  • Anniemaychang
    Great stories but truly awkward banter between hosts
    Love the content and stories you find. They’re hopeful, pure, and truly kind. The only thing that keeps me from regularly listening is the awkwardness of the hosts — the “banter” between them is clearly scripted, and they read it that way. It doesn’t sound like a conversation. Their reactions and questions to each other’s stories sound so unnatural they make me cringe. Either act in a way that is more convincing, or improve the script that goes beyond just asking each other questions and saying “Oh my God.”
  • mama_sooz_
    Thank You
    Thank you so much for sharing every one of these stories. They remind me of how, although my personal problems are valid as their own experiences, there are so many others who do not have the privilege that I do. This podcast is important peace-work. It is important work for humanity. Thank you.
  • Sally&Ella
    Pulls on my heartstrings
    This podcasts always surprises me with how it touches my emotions. I am normally not a very emotional person and I tend to see the world through a realistic lens. This is definitely a podcast worth your time to take a listen. In a human world that has become increasingly isolationist these pocket stories give us a glimmer into the good out there and a reason to have hope.

    So Needed This.
    If you’ve lost your faith in this world, like many is us have, this will restore it.
  • DJP/EJ
    Slow down a little
    I love this PodCast! However, I wonder why it sounds like everyone is talking just a little too fast? The first few episodes weren’t like that but now it’s kind of annoying. Just short of sounding like “chipmunks”. 😞

    Solidarity
    The cyber world needs more pods like this! It shows how - despite trying and polarizing political times - there is goodness and compassion every day and every where.
  • hajdhvahsggvg
    Why did you ruin it?
    Season 2 stinks. Why does everything have to be political in season 2. I loved season 1 but season 2 is pushing an agenda that is not about love and kindness.
  • CindyNICU
    Goodness in this world!
    I’m grateful to listen to regular people doing kind things for others! Thank you for this podcast!
  • Sophie214
    Beautiful and Heartwarming
    Everyone should listen to these podcasts. They are beautiful and heartwarming and help bring perspectives of what others are going through and how people help.
