S2.E6 - Serotonin Saturday : Episode1

The Pandemonium team is switching gears this week for our first installment of Serotonin Saturday, as Cat and Rachel round up some of the most hopeful, fascinating, and downright delightful stories you may have missed in 2025. From California’s historic ban on cat declawing and new rules on ultra-processed school lunches, to goats preventing wildfires in Spain and breakthroughs in treating Huntington’s disease. This episode is packed with wins for animals, people, and the planet all around. We also celebrate a posthumous degree for Māori scholar, the booming secondhand clothing market, the world’s tiniest injectable pacemaker, along research showing that the smell of pizza can actually lower stress. Add in shrinking ozone holes, falling statistics in violent crime, rebounding bumblebee populations, declining child mortality, artificial blood trials, microfiber recycling, falling peanut allergy rates, and slowing deforestation - and you’ve got yourself a full-on good-news buffet. Pour yourself a coffee, get comfy, and let these bright spots carry you into the weekend.
