Summary
Tell Me Something Good is now its own podcast. Your daily dose of positive, uplifting news! At a high school in Washington state, students can now earn varsity letters for welding, manufacturing, and other hands-on career programs. Which is great but rubs some members of the show wrong who don't think they deserve it. We also do a deep dive into where the guys on the show hit their 'peak'.
