Everyday Heroes

Season 8 Episode 16 | 26m 14s

Some moments reveal the quiet power of showing up. John’s life shifts when a teacher sees what no one else does, giving him a reason to stay in school; first-time mom Rachel learns to fight for her blind, neurodivergent son; and Harold finds his way to healing while guided by voices along the road to sobriety. Three storytellers, three interpretations of EVERYDAY HEROES, hosted by Wes Hazard.

Aired: 04/27/25
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD and GBH.
