ABOUT

LISTEN IN!

Our mission is to highlight good news and good people,

connect communities, inspire, and provide hope.

The award-winning Yinz Are Good podcast shares the good news going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen.

Our episodes include interviews with folks - be they individuals, groups, or organizations - who are helping others, building community, lending support, and lifting people up. We also encourage listeners to share their own stories of acts of kindness and notes of gratitude for others in their lives.

Episodes also include Name That Neighborhood and In Case Yinz Missed It segments. Name That Neighborhood is our trivia quiz that focuses on the histories of Pittsburgh's many neighborhoods. For In Case Yinz Missed It, we share good news headlines from several weeks or months ago, in case yinz missed them the first time around.

And we're not just a "Pittsburgh" podcast...
To date, we've got listeners tuning in from 101 countries and territories
across 6 continents!

*Yinz = Pittsburgh, PA's version of "Y'all"
