Summary
Johnny Mac presents five oddball good-news stories: a famed Masterton, New Zealand fernery (dating to 1924 and housing 60+ fern varieties) is temporarily closed for deep cleaning after several incidents of people pooping there despite nearby public toilets; a New Zealand grocery store draws visitors for a rare half-red, half-yellow apple estimated to occur in fewer than one in a million fruits; Guinness regular David Rush sets a record by balancing a running electric chainsaw on his chin for 4 minutes 1.44 seconds; Alicia earns the record for the world’s largest Wonder Woman memorabilia collection with 1,581 items; and a German shepherd drifting out to sea in an inflatable kayak is rescued by Captain Jimmy and crew member Aaron and reunited with its owners. 5 Good News Stories is a daily podcast with five positive, uplifting news stories to brighten your day.
