I'm Andrew Peach and this is Sophie, who's nine and who's voice note from Keto in Ecuador made me happy.

I like to hear a postcard from normal news and other good news every day.

Hello there, people at the BBC World Service. That was my daughter asking you to please produce and release a podcast of Happy News every day,

along with that one of the normal news. Thank you.

Thank you to Jose Nassio and Sophie, although I'm not sure we can manage every day just yet.

I'm pleased you liked our first happy pod, Keke in Paris, email to say.

Thank you for the happy pod. It's made my day.

Just wanted to add my name to the list of very happy listeners,

absolutely loved it and can't wait for it to become part of my weekly routine.

And Suzanne, listening in Seattle, said...

Just listen to the happy pod. I have to admit, it was my first podcast ever.

Looking forward to hearing more happy news from around the world.

Thanks Suzanne and you're in luck.

On the way in the happy pod, Nicola in the US.

I am absolutely ecstatic and this is one of those rare moments where we can just celebrate for this really good news.

Paul in the UK.

My happy place is my allotment. Just being outside, getting my hands dirty and growing things.

And a happy sound from Claire in Finland. But what is it?

There's just something about it that just makes me feel so happy and calm.

And it's one of the most innocent noises.

Plus the world's most positive, uplifting news stories. Do stay with us.
