Which country is the most optimistic and which is the most pessimistic? Every year for the last 30 years, the pony association Gallop International asks people from different countries this question: “Do you think this year will be better or worse than last year?” to find the most hopeful nation in the world. This year’s Voice of the People survey involved more than 50,000 people from 54 countries. And the results are in.

Also on the show, the Ivory Coast doctors treating the skin disease, Buruli ulcer; why eating slowly may be good for men’s weight, but not for women's; the perils of being a spinning (exercising on a stationary bike) teacher; a report on the mobile kidneys dialysis machine.
