Is this one of nature’s best Halloween costumes? In this spooky episode of Wow in the World, Mindy and Guy Raz embark on a creepy, crawly adventure to uncover the secrets of a newly discovered Amazonian spider species with a seriously spooky superpower! When Guy Raz’s peaceful evening of reading is interrupted by a group of candy-loving chaotic teenagers, he’ll do just about anything to escape the Halloween-like madness... Could pretending to be a dead, fungus-infected spider be the secret to a quiet night? From mysterious rainforest discoveries to hilarious costume chaos, this adventure is packed with spine-chilling science, hilarious hijinks, and a mind-blowing discovery about the amazing ways animals evolve to survive. By connecting laughter to learning, this episode shows how nature can be spookier, and WAY stranger than (science) fiction!
Dressed in disguises and demanding “Shenandies or Candies,” Mindy, Dennis, Thomas Fingerling and Gramma G-Force introduce Guy to the bizarre traditions of the “Night of the Living Candy.” When Guy isn’t in the mood for trick-or-treaters, Mindy comes up with a truly wild idea: transform him into a spider that looks like it’s been infected by a deadly zombie fungus! But this isn’t just any creepy-crawly creature. It’s Taczanowskia waska, a newly discovered spider species from the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador, that has an extraordinary evolutionary trick up its eight sleeves!
Along the way, you’ll discover how scientists identify and name new species, and how an unexpected rainforest encounter led to an incredible spider discovery. You’ll also learn about Cordyceps, a real-life fungus famous for infecting insects and other arthropods, growing strange structures from their bodies, and releasing tiny reproductive particles called spores! But here’s the real WOW: unlike a spider that has actually been infected by the fungus, Taczanowskia waska has horn-like extensions that resemble the fungus’s growths, making the spider look like something straight out of a zombie movie! Could this eerie disguise help the spider avoid predators?
Get ready for a whirlwind adventure filled with zombie-fungus spiders, rainforest mysteries, and a costume that Guy Raz will never forget! This is the Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, and WOW in the World of Taczanowskia waska, zombie fungi, and the extraordinary power of evolution, brought to life with humor, creepy-crawly science, and a whole lot of WOW!

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!

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... a robot cockroach? In this cinematic story about cockroaches, cyborg technology, search-and-rescue science, and underwater exploration, Mindy, Guy Raz, and the crew take you on a wild adventure to discover how scientists are transforming an unlikely insect into a tiny, remote-controlled rescue robot! Listen and discover how researchers combined living creatures, robotics, engineering, and a teeny-tiny scuba suit to create a cyborg cockroach that can be steered through tight spaces, survive underwater, and potentially help humans reach places that traditional robots can’t! This adventure is packed with movie-theater mayhem, hilarious hijinks, scientific surprises, and one seriously superpowered six-legged hero. By connecting laughter to learning, this cockroach episode shows how scientists can look to the natural world for unexpected solutions to some of humanity’s biggest challenges.
While heading to the movies to see Pigeon Patrol, Mindy, Guy, Dennis, Reggie, Gramma G-Force, and Thomas Fingerling stumble across a preview for a very different kind of superhero movie: RoachBot: Super Cyborg Scuba Scout! But when Mindy discovers that the movie is inspired by a real scientific study, their trip to the theater quickly turns into a real-life science adventure!
In this episode, kids and families will discover what a cyborg actually is, and how scientists can combine living organisms with technology. They’ll learn why cockroaches make surprisingly useful search-and-rescue helpers, thanks to their ability to squeeze through tiny spaces, scramble over messy terrain, and move using their own muscles without needing batteries. They’ll also discover how engineers designed a miniature waterproof shell and oxygen system that allowed a cyborg cockroach to walk underwater for hours before returning to land. What can't RoachBot handle?!
This is the Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, and WOW of cyborg cockroaches, search-and-rescue robots, scuba science, and the wild possibilities of bio-inspired technology, brought to life with humor, curiosity, engineering, and a whole lot of WOW!

Mindy’s gingerbread mansion is finally ready for its grand unveiling—but there’s just one tiny problem: it might be a complete and total disaster! In this episode about creativity, problem-solving, engineering, and the arts, Mindy and Guy Raz explore what happens when a palace made out of cake and candy has doors that open into walls, staircases that lead nowhere, and a bowling alley that crashes into the kitchen... As the Wow in the World crew tries to rescue Mindy’s disastrous design, they discover a surprising scientific question: are creativity in science and creativity in art really all that different?
To find out, Guy Raz shares a fascinating study, in which more than 2,000 German college students were surveyed about their personalities, creative processes, and how they evaluate solutions to problems. The researchers discovered that whether you’re an engineer, scientist, painter, musician, or poet, the basic creativity toolkit is remarkably similar!
Get ready for a sweet, sticky, wildly creative adventure packed with collapsing gingerbread architecture, bubble-gum stairs, unexpected engineering problems, and a whole lot of WOW. From the arts to science, math to engineering, Mindy and Guy Raz discover that creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s a powerful tool for everyone who wants to solve problems, explore possibilities, and turn new ideas into reality. This is the Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, and Wow of creativity!
