It’s lovely to have you here! Kind is a podcast that tells the stories of acts of kindness and how they changed things for the better. It’s hosted by me, Holly Newson, a Presenter and Executive Producer.

You’ll hear from well-know faces (and voices!) about the times they’ve been lifted up in some way by someone else’s kindness. And you’ll also hear from everyday people about a kind act that’s stayed in their mind. I’d love to hear from you too! So do get in touch via email or the contact form below.

I wanted to make this podcast because I’d been through a few situations where people didn’t lead with kindness, and I thought “they know they could do this differently, right?”. Given the state of our world and what we might consume in the news or on social media, engaging with the good of humanity is so needed! For our mental health, for connection and for hope! I was inspired by the late, great Benjamin Zephaniah, who I was lucky enough to call a friend: he has a poem called People Need People, and that couldn’t be more true.

Most importantly — I hope I can make something that resonates with you in some way!

The small (and big) acts of kindness often go uncommented on, so I’m giving them a voice here. You’ll find intimate conversations of times that people let themselves be helped.

I hope you enjoy the podcast, let me know what you think. And I am so glad you’re here.
