| 0:00.0 | Today is Saturday, December 28th. Ready to wrap the year up with some positive news for a change, |
| 0:05.2 | us too. For our last special edition Saturday of 2024, we invited the founder of Nice News, |
| 0:10.9 | Sean Devlin, to join us for a countdown of the top 10 best, or at least most popular, |
| 0:16.1 | nice news stories of the year. Nice News is a positive news platform and Morning Digest sent to over |
| 0:21.3 | 850,000 subscribers. Today's Nice News countdown includes everything from ways to lessen anxiety |
| 0:27.0 | and prevent dementia to positive uses of tech like AI. And more, so let's get into it. |

| 1:32.2 | maybe we'd be able to source a few stories every single day. And we have hundreds of stories |
| 1:37.7 | to choose from every single day. That's amazing. And so how do you find some of these stories? |
| 1:43.2 | Our process for curation, we have around 100 sources that our curators are looking through every day and then submitting to our editorial team to then filter down and determine what it is we want to feature in our daily edition. |
