The Happy Pod: Atomic bomb survivors campaigning for peace

Happy News

Available for over a year

In this Happy Pod special we're in Munich, Germany for One Young World. We speak to survivors of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and their families as they turn their painful memories into a call for peace and the end of nuclear weapons. They're part of a group that won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2024. Also, the young Argentine harnessing artificial intelligence to spot wildfires, Zaynab Mohamed - the first Muslim woman elected to Minnesota's Senate at just 25, the 'TikTok Mayor' using social media to show life in charge of a tiny Spanish village, and the England football star, Georgia Stanway, who is using Euros success to change the game for the next generation of female players.
