The Happy Pod: Fat Bear Week returns

Fat Bear Week is back! The annual contest sees people around the world vote for their favourite bear, ahead of hibernation season. More than two million votes were cast in this year's tournament which is based at Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Also, meet the tattoo artist covering people's scars with artwork to make them feel more confident. Cath Bowie, aka GrumpyGran 1948, tells us how she got into streaming and the game Fortnite. She has just been recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest female Fortnite streamer at the age of 78. Plus, Walk with a Doc, a scheme that gets people out walking with their local doctor and, have you ever heard an Elephant's rumble? We find out what it means.
