How the show works
One question. Answered properly.
One question per episode
No listicles, no top tens. Each episode picks a single question and stays with it until the answer actually makes sense.
Checked twice, at least
Every claim checked against at least two independent sources. Where the science is still unsettled, the episode says so out loud.
Animated, not narrated over stock footage
The animation exists to carry the explanation. If a diagram makes it clearer, you get the diagram.
