Good Week: a weekly podcast of the stories that went right

Most weeks have more good news in them than the headlines suggest. Good Week collects it in one place.

What it is

Good Week is a weekly podcast from FactsLane. Each episode goes through the week's constructive stories: things that were fixed, discovered, built or finished. Two hosts talk through them at an unhurried pace, in the same checked-facts style as the rest of FactsLane. Nothing is exaggerated, and nothing is spun to be sadder or happier than it is.

It is not a way to look away from hard news. It is a counterweight: a short, honest reminder that useful things also happen, and that you can hear about them without a feeling of dread.

How it fits

Good Week is the first of our weekly shows. It joins the audio digests, and it is the kind of listen that pairs well with Zen Mode, where the feed keeps to quiet and constructive stories.

How to listen

Open the digest and podcast pages on factslane.com and pick Good Week. A new episode arrives every week. You can listen in the web player, which keeps playing while you browse other pages.

What's next

We built Good Week so that other weekly shows could use the same approach. More topics are on the way.
