The Happy Pod: Letters from dad - with love

Available for over a year

We hear about the Dad Letter Project which was set up by a father and daughter in the US to send handwritten notes of love and support to people all over the world. Rosie wants to share her treasured experience of receiving letters from her dad Buz when she was growing up. They have already had thousand of requests, often from young women who have lost their own fathers and need advice, or just for someone to say they are proud of them. Also, we meet Logie the litter picking dog, who is helping clean up our oceans by swimming out to fetch plastic bottles and other rubbish. We find out how cooking classes taught by refugees are helping them learn new skills and build closer ties with their new communities, why knitting and other-old fashioned hobbies are gaining popularity among Gen Z, and what a difference a local shop can have in a remote community.
