Goodniks is an audio project exploring the journey and meaning of doing good in the world — for people who do good or are just thinking about it. As we follow along the journey of these Goodniks, we dig into who and what inspired them, what keeps them up at night, their sacrifices, their rewards, their failures, and what it means for their relationships. What does it really mean to do good over the course of a life, or a moment, or a season?

Customer Reviews
Refreshing Look at Those Working for Others
The old saying “if it bleeds, it leads” is just as true today as it’s ever been, which is why a podcast like Goodniks is a welcome reprieve from the constant flow of negativity. Goodniks takes the spotlight off of those who deal in dirty deeds and focuses instead on people who have a firm devotion to improving the world around them. Instead of painting everything with rose colored glasses, Goodniks squares up to many of the challenges, frustrations and successes of those who choose to do good work.
Not for conservative or moderate listeners
I tried to listen to the last 4 podcasts and just couldn’t finish. The people speaking are difficult to listen to as the often use “LIKE” every third word. The content comes across as entitled and unrelatable to me.
Can’t wait to dig in
I love this idea and am awed by these people!
