Podcast Extra At one barbershop in Pennsylvania, kids aren’t just walking out with fresh haircuts — they’re walking out a little taller, a little prouder, and a little more confident. The barber behind it all is Jonathan Escueta, founder of City Cuts Barbershop in Kutztown. His program, featured by over a dozen national and local media outlets, is called ‘Books by Kids’ — and it lets children earn three dollars for reading out loud during their haircut. https://www.buckleyschool.com/magazine/articles/reading-aloud-a-shortcut-to-speaking-confidence/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.gofundme.com/f/2tbgtm-booksbykids?attribution_id=sl:18d4b1ea-ea02-47da-bb18-5d2b6907fd90&utm_campaign=natman_sharesheet_dash&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link https://www.facebook.com/people/City-Cuts-Barbershop/100064539770180/ Episode Links: Old Friend Club: https://www.instagram.com/oldfriendclub/?hl=en Teen Hero: https://www.foxweather.com/watch/fmc-xz2t0a178qe2coj4 Basil Barn Airbnb:https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/45379296?irgwc=1&irclid=UrI1tuXbpxyIRukTHlSCwSkLUkDzx0[…]d=p3_1655321396_XFiBOq9UMuc1cdJa&modal=PHOTO_TOUR_SCROLLABLE Delta Pilot's Message: https://people.com/delta-pilot-s-viral-message-comforts-flyers-during-shutdown-11846744 Purple Heart Returned: https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2025/11/11/Purple-Heart-returned-family-Illinois/4461762878118/  Kind Act at Gold Coast: https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/good-news/teen-applauded-for-kind-act-at[…]st-petrol-station/news-story/46f5f8b2e71b09b6cb916f9a0718bfc8 Old Friends Soul Friends: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/old-friends-soul-friends-1.7644794 Images & Video Courtesy Of: Jon Eschueta, City Cuts Barbershop Old Friend Club Brittany Sparham Mercy Ships Image Disclaimer: Some visuals in this episode are used for illustrative purposes and may not depict the actual people, animals or events referenced.
