JacPod Good Morning Angels - The Legacy

Good Morning Angels - The Legacy

Good Morning Angels is Jacaranda FM’s multi-award-winning community giveback and upliftment initiative, changing lives one Wednesday at a time on Breakfast with Martin Bester. What started as a simple moment of kindness on a morning radio show in 2005 has, over the course of two decades, grown into a powerful expression of the resilience of the human spirit to overcome, a beacon of hope in times of despair, and the inspiration for a legion of Angels who give because they care.
Over the next 20 weeks, Good Morning Angels, The Legacy will tell the stories of some of those who have benefited from the kindness of strangers over the past two decades. They will share how that moment of light impacted their lives in the most beautiful and sometimes unexpected – but always inspiring – ways. It’s the real story after the story, a celebration of 20 years of changed lives told by those who are living it.
