The best podcasts for positive vibes

Hi there! I'm Robert Peterpaul an actor, writer and podcaster with a passion for storytelling and spreading kindness. I discovered my love for the arts at a young age, spending my childhood putting on shows in my living room (fake tickets and all) and getting lost in the aisles of Blockbuster. At age 9, I made my Off-Broadway debut at the York Theatre and from there was cast in the Broadway musical SEUSSICAL. I have been working in the TV/Film and theatre space ever since, being named "Connecticut's BEST ACTOR" by BroadwayWorld along the way. Some recent highlights include: CBS' BULL, Netflix's KING COBRA, SONY's WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT and NEWSIES at the Westport Country Playhouse. I will next appear in the upcoming Amazon feature film SITTING IN BARS WITH CAKE. In addition to acting, I have been a writer and celebrity interviewer for almost a decade, working for publications and shows like: NBC’s America’s Got Talent, Screen Rant, The Huffington Post, Backstage, Writer’s Weekly and, HOLA! USA, where I was the Head Weekend Editor for six years. Throughout my career I've been fortunate enough to speak with acclaimed talent like: Pulitzer-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. Oscar-winner Allison Janney, Emmy-winner Sterling K. Brown, Tony-winner Kristin Chenoweth and more. I have also moderated for events like Women in Entertainment’s annual summit and BroadwayCon. I'm also very passionate about giving back to the community. My family formed the nonprofit THE THOMAS PETERPAUL FOUNDATION in honor of my late brother Thomas who passed away from cancer. TPF has helped countless pediatric cancer patients and their families since its inception. We were able to team up with Novartis and speak before congress at the US Capitol on behalf of TPF to get the CAR T Cell Therapy approved. In addition, I work for the nonprofit WOMEN IN ENTERTAINMENT, which assists women both working in and aspiring to work in the entertainment industry. To hit this baby home and circle back to the wonderful world of podcasting: In 2021, I created the podcast "The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul,” which went on to be signed by The Broadway Podcast Network and rank in the top 3% of podcasts globally. The podcast converses with and celebrates artists from all areas of the entertainment industry who are using their platform to make the world a happier place. From global superstars like Meghan Trainor to Olympic athletes like Laurie Hernandez, The AOK gets kindness tips, self-care advice, funny stories and more from the brightest stars in the business. I strive to choose positivity in all aspects of my life! Leaning into the positive is a work in progress, but it definitely makes our time on this spinning orb brighter.

My podcast showcases people from all corners of the arts (actors, writers, producers, costume designers... etc.) who use their platform to make the world a kinder place. Our conversations are lighthearted and oozing with positivity!

This playlist is all about listens that will leave you with a big ole smile on your face or feeling less alone. I'm sharing the shows that fill my cup with positive energy and make me feel seen.
