Hey, grown-ups! The Cat in the Hat cast
0:02
is a new podcast from Wondery, perfect
0:04
for the whole family. Join the Cat
0:06
in the Hat and your favorite Dr. Seuss characters
0:09
as they get whisked away on a new adventure
0:11
every week.
0:13
Fish dreams of creating his very own
0:15
polite and quiet podcast.
0:18
That is, until he gets a surprise visit
0:20
to his Fishbowl podcast studio from the
0:22
Cat in the Hat himself, and it becomes
0:25
very clear that the Cat has other
0:27
plans for the podcast.
0:28
And those plans are the opposite of
0:30
quiet.
0:31
The Cat may be disruptive, but it turns
0:34
out he's also a great help to get Fish out
0:36
of all kinds of predicaments. Bursting
0:38
with music, silliness, and rhymes,
0:41
the Cat in the Hat cast encourages us all
0:43
to find fun that is funny in
0:45
every episode. Sing along to new
0:47
favorite songs, try your look at Titanic
0:50
tongue twisters, and have some fun with
0:52
wondrous wordplay, and most importantly,
0:54
bring your family along for all of the adventures
0:56
in the Cat in the Hat cast. I'm about
0:59
to play a clip from the Cat in the Hat cast. Enjoy

1:24
Hello and welcome to the first ever
1:26
episode of The Fish Cast,
1:28
a very well-behaved podcast.
1:32
Yeah, he's a fish, it's his podcast.
1:35
Welcome to The Fish Cast. Doobly
1:38
dee, bladdy da. I'm
1:41
your host, a small fish in
1:43
a fish bowl on a desk in a podcast
1:46
studio. I like things
1:48
to be simple and organized,
1:51
and that's why
1:51
for this show, I've come up with
1:54
a prioritized list of exciting
1:56
topics to
1:57
discuss, such as... being
2:00
loud, chewing with your
2:02
mouth closed, and water.
2:05
Shout out to water. It's where
2:08
I live. Of
2:10
course, this show won't be all
2:12
about me. We're also going to learn in
2:14
a structured fun kind of way
2:17
with some segments I've planned, including
2:19
a visit to the word Emporium
2:22
and a great song about one of my
2:24
favorite letters of the alphabet. But
2:26
first, I want to take a minute to talk about two
2:29
of my favorite things, peace and
2:31
quiet, also known
2:33
as solitude. Did
2:36
you say solitude?
2:39
What? No. I mean, well, yes.
2:41
Say no more, fish, for I, too,
2:43
enjoy the joys of being
2:46
alone. Say,
2:47
you're that cat, that cat
2:50
in the hat. I certainly do
2:52
not need your help.
2:53
Of course, you do fish, for
2:55
nobody does peace and quiet quite
2:58
like me.
2:59
Cat of that, I have
3:01
no
3:01
doubt. I'm so glad you agree.
3:03
No, I didn't mean. No, ah, fish.
3:06
It's quiet time, so let us hush
3:08
up and enjoy being alone. Well,
3:11
I guess that is the idea. Together.
3:14
Wait, what? Cue the theme song.
3:17
But we already did the theme song. Please forgive
3:19
me. I thought there just might be a more
3:21
fun way to do a theme song. Hit
3:24
it! Ah. The
3:27
cat in the hat is a-coming your way. The
3:29
cat in the hat brings joy to our day. And
3:31
see the adventures starting to come
3:33
along. It's
3:35
the cat in the hat, sir. No need to fear.
3:38
It's the cat in the hat, so we can get weird.
3:41
And we may come spend 10 last-year
3:43
days in song. The cat
3:45
in the hat, sir. Oh, your dog and your bunny. The cat
3:47
in the hat, my pup. It's
3:49
funny. Oh, I'm tight. You have a
3:51
fire for me. Come with us. Come
3:53
together. Oh,
3:57
what a pine-themed song. Don't
3:59
you think, fish?
3:59
Yes, it was quite catchy. Wait,
4:02
hold on a minute, Cat. This is my
4:04
podcast, not yours. Of course,
4:07
of course. I'm only here to
4:09
help. You wanted to enjoy some peace
4:11
and quiet, and I say yes. Let's!
4:14
Well, if that's actually what you're
4:16
here to do...
4:17
Anyway, like I was saying, the
4:20
best part of solitude is that.
4:22
Well, who could that be? Oh, I
4:25
hope you don't mind. I invited a few
4:27
friends over to come help us. How close
4:29
with what? In being alone. What?
4:33
Say, would you be a pal and get the door? How?
4:36
I'm a fish in a fishbowl. Oh,
4:39
your horse is his coming! Don't
4:42
worry, fish. I always carry a set of
4:44
spare robotic fishbowl legs right here
4:46
in my hut. What?
4:49
How did you do that? No
4:52
time to explain. Robot legs,
4:54
take this fish to the door. No, wait.
4:56
I have to hold it to show! I can lend
4:58
a hand. What's coming up next? I
5:01
was going to play a song about my favorite
5:03
letter, but you can't... Don't worry, I'll take
5:05
care of it. You don't know how to work this
5:06
down, boy!
5:08
Ah, let's see. A song,
5:11
he says. Oh, this must be one of those
5:13
variety shows. Delightful!
5:15
So how do I play a song?
5:16
Oh, wow. There are so
5:19
many buttons in this studio. Uh,
5:22
maybe this one? Eh.
5:23
No, that's not right. How about this one?
5:27
Not that either. Ah, this
5:29
one. Definitely not. Well,
5:32
I can't figure out how to play a song,
5:34
so I have no choice but to
5:37
sing it myself. But how? I'll
5:40
need some help. But from whom? Oh,
5:43
I know. Where are those little cats?
5:46
Right. They're here in my hat. Oh,
5:49
little cats, time to come
5:51
out and play.
5:52
Little catty,
5:54
little catty, little catty!
5:56
Beautiful. Thank you. Alright,
5:59
little cats, listen up! Here's a song I wrote
6:01
about the letter A. It's in the key of
6:03
Z-flat. Watch me for the changes and try to
6:05
keep up, okay?
