In this episode Cathryn and Danielle unearth kindness. What is the provenance of this humble human quality, the ability to show kindness, not only to people we know and love, but to strangers, and people we may not like that much? Why is it the perfect gift to give at Christmas and any other time? When in doubt – be kind.  

Have a safe, creative, and kind festive season.
