This is Andrew Peach with the happy part where we talk to the people at the heart of the world's positive news stories.

First, Tamara in Puerto Rico has an idea.

She writes,

I love listening to the feel good stories and the sounds that make people happy.

But what if we had the opportunity to guess what they are?

Good plan, Tamara.

So what is that, the sound of?

Stay with us.

Also on the way in the happy part, we'll hear from Costa Rica, the Philippines, Thailand and France.

There's an unusual recipe for cheesecake.

Our machine can pick up one of these ingredients which we will load into a food cartridge

and then it will just carefully deposit it into a shape that we tell it to.

The happiest place to live.

Half of the year we were surrounded by a dark slush and we were okay with that.

Because the other half, it's great.

And the unexpected sounds that listener Paige loves to hear.

When I heard the call for recordings of our favourite sounds,

I thought mine is perhaps a bit ASMR, but I knew instantly what it is.

All on the way in the happy part.

Megan breeds hundreds of cows every year.

She's a stud farm at Ripplesbrook in West Gipsland in the state of Victoria.
