About this episode

Johnny Mac shares five uplifting news stories from around the world.

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: In the Netherlands, human remains found beneath the Saint Peter and Paul Church may be Charles de Batz de Castelmore—D’Artagnan—pending DNA testing in Munich; the grave included a bullet and a 1660 coin. In Japan, the Henn na Resort and Spa Kansai Airport checks guests in with multilingual robot dinosaurs and offers themed rooms, ocean views, and multiple baths and saunas. In Brazil, scientists report vast termite-built marundas—possibly 200 million mounds visible via satellite—likely waste dumps for an underground tunnel network, some up to 4,000 years old. In England, a nine-month-old capybara named Samba escaped Marwell Zoo and remains missing as staff search with thermal drones. In Annapolis, an annual sock-burning festival continues a tradition begun in 1977. John also hosts Daily Comedy News Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!
