Yinz Are Good shares the *good* news going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors... the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make our world a better place?”.

Yinzers, you’re going to hear from a bunch of folks today: A former Major League baseball player & World Series champ talking about community, perseverance, and lessons learned...2 women honoring their dear friend by helping those in need...and yinzers of all ages sharing what they are grateful for. This episode is just chock-full of goodness.

First. we had the great joy, once again, of being part of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Yinzerpalooza event. We were set up right outside of PNC Park and had our Gratitude Board and our Kindness Crate… So you’ll be hearing folks’ responses to our question, “What are you grateful for?”.

And it was during this event that Tressa had the pleasure of sitting down with former MLB player and current Pirates radio & TV commentator, John Wehner. John played for the Pirates - did yinz know he grew up in Pittsburgh? So imagine: growing up a huge fan of your hometown team and then going on to be drafted by them.

And then, you'll hear Tressa's conversation with two women who are keeping their beautiful friend’s memory and spirit alive by supporting families in need and honoring young people who are spreading kindness and doing good deeds. These women are Jessica Pedatella and Erika Metro and their nonprofit is Megan’s Miracles.
