40. Raccoon In a Can With Max Castillo

Hello! And Good News

This week’s episode features Max Castillo! Max is a stand up comedian who performs around Los Angeles. Catch him in the show Group Shower at The Clubhouse in Los Feliz on August 10th at 8pm. You can also check out his blog, it’s all about golf! Max is hilarious and we have a great episode including lots of good news from his hometown Pensacola, Florida as well as the best animal corner I’ve seen in a minute.

We’ve got:

· Afghanistan’s version of Sesame Street that introduced a young female puppet aimed at inspiring young girls. They recently introduced another character, her brother Zareek, as a way to illustrate gender equality between the two and show a relationship that demonstrates the importance of respecting women.

· It’s been a minute, but I found a Go Fund Me of the week! Aaron Tucker who was recently released from a two year jail sentence, became a hero when he jumped off of his bus on the way to a job interview to help with a very serious car accident. A stranger who saw the accident decided to set up a Go Fund Me for Tucker as a random act of kindness.

· Stepney City Farm and it’s Furry Tales program is helping to support seniors with mental health issues by providing animal therapy.

· Animal corner features a raccoon who’s head was fully stuck in tin can. He was rescued by New London Animal Control in Connecticut.

· Pensacola has multiple good news stories! First Tee’s Goofy Golf just reopened after being closed for five years after hurricane damage. Sunday’s Child, a non-profit dedicated to supporting diversity and progressive acceptance in Pensacola just awarded 128,000 to five different non-profits in the area that are leaders in change, inclusion, and equality within the community. Also, the police in Pensacola have started adding a little flair to their social media presence.
