Episode List

S1 • E1

Surveillance

Ever feel like you're being watched? Well, you may be right. Latif explores the sometimes cute, often creepy ways surveillance pervades our lives.

S1 • E2

Poop

Sure, it's smelly and gross. Bit excrement is more complex than we think, holding many secrets, many problems and, potentially, many solutions.

S1 • E3

Dust

A speck of dust seems insignificant, but a swarm of it can do everything from generating oxygen to tempering hurricanes to fertilizing the rainforest.

S1 • E4

Digits

Latif explores a law of numerical probability that applies to classic music, contemporary social media, tax fraud and perhaps the entire universe.

S1 • E5

Clouds

How does the cloud above your head connect to the cloud that stores your data? The answer involves a shipwreck and a shark-proof garden hose.

S1 • E6

Nukes

They may be our worst creations. But nuclear bombs also taught us things about ourselves and our world that we couldn't have learned any other way.
