Today on The Current, we take a break from the hard news of 2020 to celebrate some of the ways people have found joy this year, and how they’ve helped bring happiness to others. We talk to singer-songwriter Alex Cuba, and some winter swimmers taking the plunge. Plus, we hear from a Nova Scotia community building a new home for a neighbour in need, and a Newfoundland online group offering people support during the pandemic. Janice Wabie tells us where she got the idea to turn trampolines into giant, illuminated dreamcatchers, and former CBC Radio host Mike Finnerty talks about changing careers to become a cheesemonger in England. And we hear the latest adventures of Esther the Wonder Pig.
