The Happy Pod: How kindness made a dream come true
Uta's chance meeting with Harry shows how simple acts of kindness can change people's lives.
Imagine bumping into a stranger who has the power and kindness to make your dreams come true. Listener Uta tells us how her chance meeting with Harry led to a place at the University she had thought was out of reach -- and changed her life forever. They talk about why you should take a chance on strangers and always be willing to help others.
Also, we hear from the inspiring young woman helping farmers boost their crops in Kenya using artificial intelligence. Why K-pop stars New Jeans are guiding people around a museum in Europe. The Indonesian women playing heavy metal in hijabs to break down stereotypes. Scientists find lifelong learning is not reserved for humans -- chimps can do it too. And the world's first school exam in skateboarding.
