The mission of this action-oriented kindness podcast is to connect people with charities that make the world a better place, including groups addressing childhood abuse, food insecurity, human trafficking, helping underprivileged individuals gain access to higher education and career opportunities, and beyond. Hosted by renowned UC Berkeley psychology professor Dacher Keltner, the episodes zero in on the benefits of practicing kindness and gratitude, including: “3 Good Things,” “How Gratitude Benefits Your Brain,” and “Is There Someone You Need to Thank?” If volunteering for charities fills your bucket, you’ll love: “ Connect Kindness Podcast”

The show explores the science of kindness, compassion, gratitude, and altruism through relatable real-life examples. Produced by Public Radio International and the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, this podcast shares research-tested strategies for a happier, kinder, and more meaningful life.

If you dig science and keep a daily gratitude journal, you’ll love: “ The Science of Happiness” In honor of the day dedicated to lending a hand just ’cause, we put together a list of podcasts to get you in the mood to give back. That’s the idea behind World Kindness Day on November 13.
