“Joy Beat '' features substantial news stories about real people doing the hard work to make their communities and world a better place. It’s the antidote to doom scrolling and the bad news bias that pervades broadcast and social media. GBH News’s Arun Rath talks to a wide range of characters: teachers, health care workers, scientists, artists, community organizers, volunteers and all kinds of ordinary people performing extraordinary acts, many nominated by people in their own communities. Real news stories—no fluff—taken directly from GBH’s All Things Considered, but stories guaranteed to make you feel better about the world, thanks to the work of these local heroes.
