Star Safaris and Baby Beavers

00:00 / 14:59

This week’s positive news: We’re back!

Arielle and Karissa present the new iteration of The Optimist Daily’s podcast and update you on what’s been going on during our hiatus.

Then they dive straight into their favorite stories of the week. Arielle speaks about astronomer Susan Murabana and her mission to bring the wonders of the Cosmos to disadvantaged youth in Kenya. Karissa follows with the exciting news of a baby beaver sighting in California, and what a rebound in beaver populations could mean for the environment.

The Optimist Daily is a project of The World Business Academy.
