The Happy Pod: The best stories of 2025

We look back on our happiest stories from the past year, including: the man who created 'Christina's Corner' for his most loyal customer, the life-saving medical breakthrough in the fight against Huntington's, and the four-legged litter picker taking the internet by storm.

Plus, the survivors of an atomic bomb tell us why they want peace, the blood test helping detect ovarian cancer early, the cafe in Tokyo where people with dementia can volunteer, and the rat that helps sniff out tuberculosis.
