We meet the woman sending hugs from Texas in the form of a quilt. Connie Kortz set up a network of volunteer quilters, who make them for people who are in need. Called 'Hugs from Texas' -- the group donated quilted blankets to the families affected by the devastating floods earlier this year. Also, find out about the traditional ceremony that takes place for the first time a baby laughs. We go to the football match between Dulwich Hamlet FC and Altonaer which is celebrating 100 years of friendship. The Happy Pod is our weekly collection of inspiring, uplifting and happy news from around the world. Photo and credit: Connie Kortz Presenter: Nick Miles. Music composed by Iona Hampson
