Episodes
For the Love of Numbers
00:19:50 | Season: 1 | Episode: 19 | March 27th, 2020
In this short, writer Alex Bellos tells Robert how, from the very first time humans ever used numbers, we couldn’t help but give them human-like qualities. From favorite numbers to numbers that we’re suspicious of, from 501 jeans to Oxy 10, our feelings for these digits may all come down to some serious, subconscious inner-math….a deeply human arithmetic buried in our heart.
For the Birds
00:14:41 | Season: 1 | Episode: 18 | March 27th, 2020
When the conservationists showed up at Clarice Gibbs’ door and asked her to take down her bird feeders down for the sake of an endangered bird, she said no. Everybody just figured she was a crazy bird lady. But writer Jon Mooallem went to see her and discovered there was much more to this story. Mrs. Gibbs tells us her surprising side of the tale, and together with Joe Duff, we struggle with the realization that keeping things wild in today’s world will be harder than we ever would’ve thought.
Goo And You
00:18:28 | Season: 1 | Episode: 17 | March 26th, 2020
On a quiet, warm summer day, somewhere in the soil beneath your feet, tucked into a nearby plant, or at the edges of a pond, a tiny little cataclysm is happening: an insect is transforming, undergoing metamorphosis. The chrysalis is easily nature’s best known black box, but it turns out, it’s one of the least understood, and most complicated: when producer Molly Webster peers inside a pupa, she witnesses some of the most complex biology happening on earth…and catches sight of an ancient question of change.
Space
00:56:53 | Season: 1 | Episode: 16 | March 24th, 2020
We begin with Ann Druyan, widow of Carl Sagan, with a story about the Voyager expedition, true love, and a golden record that travels through space. And astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson explains the Coepernican Principle, and just how insignificant we are.
Zoos
00:57:12 | Season: 1 | Episode: 15 | March 24th, 2020
What’s with our need to get close to “wildness”? We examine where we stand in this paradox–starting with the Romans, and ending in the wilds of Belize, staring into the eyes of a wild jaguar.
Mapping Tic Tac Toe-dom
00:14:38 | Season: 1 | Episode: 14 | March 24th, 2020
When Ian Frazier was a kid, he (like most 6-year-olds) mastered the art of tic tac toe. Pretty soon, every match was a draw, and the game lost its magic.
The Times They Are a-Changin'
00:20:28 | Season: 1 | Episode: 13 | March 24th, 2020
With the help of paleontologist Neil Shubin, reporter Emily Graslie and the Field Museum’s Paul Mayer we discover that our world is full of ancient coral calendars. Each one of these sea skeletons reveals that once upon a very-long-time-ago, years were shorter by over forty days. And astrophysicist Chis Impey helps us comprehend how the change is all to be blamed on a celestial slow dance with the moon.
A War We Need
00:11:10 | Season: 1 | Episode: 12 | March 24th, 2020
Reporter Ari Daniel visits with Willie Wilson, who studies phytoplankton–aka microscopic plant-like creatures–at Bigelow Laboratory in Maine. There’s a war in Willie’s test tubes. A certain sort of phytoplankton known as coccolithophores are engaged in a surprisingly complicated arms race with deadly viruses. A virus is problematic enough when you’re a human. Now imagine being a single-cell plant and mixing it up with the hugest virus you’ve ever seen. The coccos (as we’ve taken to calling them) are outgunned, but they won’t go down with out a serious fight.
