    Episode 5: Beavers, baked potatoes and Bald Archies: HappiPod’s glorious return

    Welcome to the renaissance of HappiPod! 🎉 Claire is back on the mic — and joining her is the marvellous Rhiannon, a self-confessed anxious adventurer, sports fan, lover of regional South Australia and now co-host of your favourite feel-good podcast. In this laugh-filled, fact-sprinkled episode, you’ll get to know Rhiannon via a not-so-pop quiz (spoiler: baked potatoes are elite), then dive headfirst into three delightfully heartwarming stories guaranteed to make your soul smile: 💪 Sportsbras and supportive pintsRhiannon takes us inside the world’s first sports bar just for women’s sport (aptly named The Sports Bra). From Portland to Sydney to a rumoured Melbourne venue — it's a big cheer for equality, inclusion, and excellent pub snacks. 🦫 The beavers who showed up the bureaucrats Claire delivers a surprisingly emotional ode to beavers who swooped in to save endangered crayfish in the Czech Republic by building the perfect dam — no permits required. Also: essential beaver trivia, including teeth facts and monogamous love. You’re welcome. 🎨 The Bald Archies: art, satire and a judgy cockatooWe explore Australia’s cheekiest art prize, judged by a cockatoo named Maude. Yep, that’s real. Caricatures, giggles and a glorious legacy of regional art appreciation all make the cut. PLUS:🎶 A HappiHero spotlight on Bad Bunny and thesalsa dancing renaissance he’s inspired (not actually a bunny, but still very good).🐇 Unlikely animal themes abound.🦜 Collective nouns are questioned.🧠 And deep thoughts like “are beavers heroes… orvillains?” are pondered. 💛 If you’ve missed us — we’ve missed you too.
