How does this little fish cause big problems for an ecosystem? In this ecology adventure about invasive species, freshwater ecosystems, animal behavior, and the surprising power of a pet goldfish, Mindy, Guy Raz, Dennis, Gramma G-Force, and Thomas Fingerling dive into a wild mystery: how could one tiny pet fish grow into a giant aquatic menace capable of disrupting an entire lake? Listen and discover what can happen when a goldfish is released into the wild—and why a pet that seems harmless at home can become a major problem in the wrong environment! This episode shows how every creature plays a role in an ecosystem—and how changing just one part of the system can have ripple effects throughout the whole environment.

When Dennis leaves his beloved pet goldfish, Goldibob, with Gramma G-Force for the weekend, she decides Goldibob needs to get out of her fish bowl and experience the big, wide world. What starts as a trip to a nearby pond quickly turns into a full-blown ecological disaster—and a breaking news story!

In this episode, kids and families will discover what an ecosystem is and how plants, animals, and their environment depend on one another. They’ll learn why goldfish released into lakes and ponds can grow much larger than they do in aquariums, stir up mud and sediment while feeding along the bottom, make water cloudy, eat tiny creatures like snails and zooplankton, and compete with native fish for food. They’ll also discover how scientists use controlled miniature ecosystems to investigate what happens when an invasive species enters a freshwater environment, and why releasing a pet into the wild can cause unexpected consequences!

This is the Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, and WOW of goldfish, invasive species, freshwater ecosystems, food webs, animal behavior, and the surprising science of what happens when a pet fish goes wild!

Cats may be famous for chasing mice, but did you know they actually have a rather refined palate? In this purr-fectly hilarious episode of Wow in the World, Mindy and Guy Raz step into the busiest cat café ever created to uncover the surprising science behind why our feline friends go absolutely bonkerballs for tuna! From roller-skating waiters to mushy tuna bowls, this adventure is packed with outrageous restaurant chaos, fascinating taste science, and a dining room full of very hungry cats!

When Mindy opens the doors to Tuna Time, her brand-new tuna-themed diner for neighborhood cats, business is booming! As plates of sloppy tuna fly out of the kitchen and cats keep asking for refills, Mindy reveals that the menu is inspired by a fascinating new scientific discovery about why cats find tuna so irresistibly delicious.

Kids and families will sink their teeth into remarkable research published in the journal Chemical Senses, where scientists investigated how cats experience the savory taste known as umami—often described as the "essence of deliciousness." By studying feline taste receptors, the researchers discovered that cats receive an especially powerful umami boost from amino acids found in foods like tuna, making these flavors incredibly appealing. The episode also explores how this differs from the way humans experience umami, why cats can't taste sweetness the way we can, and how scientists hope these discoveries could help create tastier cat food—and even medicines that picky cats will actually want to eat.

Packed with laugh-out-loud restaurant disasters, surprising animal biology, delicious food science, and plenty of feline fun, this episode serves up an unforgettable helping of curiosity while showing how understanding the senses of animals can lead to healthier, happier pets.
