Good news stories in Canada live in the spaces most people aren't looking. Ryan O'Donnell found his in an IMAX seat, watching a film from 2008 that somehow hit harder in 2026 than it ever did before. Shane found his on a ten-minute walk with his dog, in a village where today, for whatever reason, everyone said hello.

That is the whole premise of Good News Tuesday, and it holds up because it is true: good news is happening constantly, and most of it does not announce itself.

The hosts also dig into volunteering, what it costs, what it gives back, and the difference between showing up for something that benefits you and showing up for something that doesn't.
