Need a break from overwhelming headlines? Making the lemonade will do just that. Every two weeks Abbie and Lottie highlight the positive stories from around the world and hear directly from the individuals doing good. After ten months of uncertainty, it is so easy to become engulfed by what can feel like constant negative headlines. We hope this podcast will bring some light relief; proving that when life gives you lemons there's always an opportunity to make lemonade.  Hosted on Acast.

    Episode eight

    During our last episode of the season, we slightly regret the commitment to festive stories only, (stocking) fill the rest of the episode with Christmas cracker jokes and Abbie asks if it's possible to eat a cardboard gingerbread house. We really end the season on a high, as you can tell. Enjoy!
