2 P's In A Pod - The Positivity Podcast

63 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago -

We’re currently living in a time where there’s seemingly a lot of negativity; on the news, social media. So we’re here to show that’s not the case! We’ll find great things happening around the world and to celebrate positive news, rather than make it a token piece at the end of a news bulletin. We’ll be talking to each other, as well as guests, and see how they’re celebrating positivity. This won’t be preachy, it won’t be political; our plan is to be positive and hopefully have a good laugh along the way. His name's Kez P. And his name's Ben P. And this is 2 P's In A Pod.
