• Résumé

  • Joy Beat uncovers the powerful transformations hiding in plain sight. Host Arun Rath takes you beyond headlines to meet dedicated teachers reshaping young lives, quiet volunteers revolutionizing healthcare access, and passionate artists rebuilding social bonds.

    Each episode brings intimate conversations with local heroes championing change – individuals who saw something broken and decided to fix it, dreamers who turned their visions into reality, and everyday people whose extraordinary acts create ripples of impact. In a world dominated by doom scrolling and negativity, Joy Beat offers something different: proof that hope isn't just alive – it's actively changing our world, one act of courage at a time.
