The Happy Pod: Seoul's 'space-out' contest

Available for over a year

To combat an over-working culture, South Koreans take part in the annual 'space-out' competition, where they must simply sit still and do absolutely nothing for 90 minutes. But, they must not fall asleep. Valentina Vilches, a doctor from Chile, decided to take part and became winner of this years 'space-out' contest. Also on the programme: the podcasters hoping to promote friendship between Morocco and Algeria, the hungry sea lion who hitched a ride with some rowers in Los Angeles, a potentially ground-breaking new treatment which could help restore movements to paralysed people, and the power of vibrations harnessed in sound therapy.
