This week on the "How's the news?" podcast with Linda, we discussed the changes made to prioritize animal welfare in zoos and aquariums. We also talked about the North Carolina Aquarium and their new conservation ambassadors, Pip and Scout. In addition, we discussed the recent rat study from Lincoln Park Zoo, and how it relates to Chicago's title as the rattiest city in America. Finally, we discussed how scalpers are having a hard time profiting from Nvidia's recently released RTX 4080 GPU.

We discussed these topics and more in today's episode of the "How's the news?" podcast.
