The Art Of Kindness Podcast Featured On Connecticut News 12 TV

 Celebrating Random Acts Of Kindness Week February 11 to 17


 Did you know that we
celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week (RAK Week) from February 11 to 17, 2024? This special week provides us all with an opportunity not only to acknowledge, but also to reflect on, the incredible acts of kindness that impact our lives.

In preparation for RAK Week, the local News 12 TV station in Southwestern Connecticut ran a TV story about The Art of Kindness podcast, which is produced in Norwalk and resonates with people around the world

In every episode of the podcast, host Robert Peterpaul elicits tales from Broadway people about how they sprinkle kindness throughout their world. Peterpaul always asks each guest, "What does kindness mean to you?" He also asks guests how they react to people praising them.

Robert Peterpaul is one of those rare hosts who can be so engaging that, as a listener, you say, "I could listen to him for the entire episode."

Peterpaul could probably carry a one-man show on Broadway. I'd call it, "Peterpaul on Kindness." After only one episode, it's obvious that host Robert Peterpaul was born to be a performer, and he lights the podcast stage with his effervescent hosting skills.

Here's a text excerpt from the TV report, and you can watch it HERE.



"Random Acts of Kindness Week starts this Sunday, so it's the perfect time to tune in to a local kindness podcast produced in Norwalk that is gaining global popularity.
Every week, Robert Peterpaul shares kindness with the world with his "Art of Kindness" podcast.

'In the middle of the pandemic, I woke up, and I was like the art of kindness, it would be a great way to put some positive news out there and sort of combat all the other stuff,' said Peterpaul.

After two years, he says his podcast, recorded at Factory Underground in Norwalk, is now in the top 3% in the world.

And he's had some pretty big guests. 'Our 100th episode, we recorded right here at Factory Underground with the one and only Carol Burnett,' said Peterpaul.

Peterpaul says one of the inspirations for his podcast is his brother, Thomas, who had cancer. Thomas died when he was 11 on Sept. 11 at 9:11 p.m.

'I look at the clock every day at 9:11 a.m. or p.m. in some form and 11's kind of our lucky number now because he was a really special kid,' said Peterpaul. 

Peterpaul says he went to Washington and eventually formed a nonprofit to honor his brother that helps kids with cancer.
Peterpaul says if he reaches even one person through his podcast, it can make all the difference.
'Ultimately, I really hope it inspires people to choose love over fear in any moment of their day,' said Peterpaul.

The Art of Kindness comes out on Mondays. You can find it anywhere you listen to podcasts or here on YouTube."

So, News 12 Connecticut is correct. Stop watching the hate on Fox News. Put down your grievances. And reach out to others. Be kind. It's a life hack that could catch on.
