There are 2633 episodes in the Fact topic.

These are the latest episodes from the Fact topic added to soundcarrot, but be careful, many of these are serialised shows so jumping in at episode 10, for example, could confuse matters.

We'd recommend starting with the first episode of your show of choice, and if you like it, listening from there.

Black Holes, Wormholes and Donut Holes
^{00:37:34 | March 12th, 2019}

Black holes happen when you have a super huge, mega-giant amount of stuff — crammed into a super-tiny, infinitely-small amount of space. AND THEY ARE SUPER COOL! In this episode, we learn all about what black holes are and how we found out they were real. We talk to a black hole hunter who has discovered supermassive black holes. And we find out what a wormhole is and why it might really, be really, really hard to ever find one — or travel through it. Plus: The Moment of Um answers the question: “Why do goat pupils look like slits?” This episode is sponsored by Panama City Beach (VisitPanamaCityBeach.com), Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: The Podcast, and Madison Reed (madison-reed.com and offer code BRAINSON).

The Secret to Cheetahs’ Super Speed
^{00:14:03 | March 8th, 2019}

How do cheetahs get their super speed? We talk to a cheetah scientist to find out why a spotted cat is the fastest animal on Earth. Cheetahs are literally built for speed! Anne Hilborn spent months scoping out cheetahs on the hunt in the grasslands of the Serengeti. We’ll discover how cheetahs’ incredible speed is linked to their survival – and what they do when being fast isn’t enough. ****

Walking on walls: How ants and spiders do it
^{00:29:02 | March 5th, 2019}

Ants and spiders are able to defy gravity — but how do they do it? We’ll learn about how awesome their feet are and how one predator takes advantage of these powers. Plus: A very challenging mystery sound and a Moment of Um that answers the question, “How do bananas ripen other fruit?”

S2, E1 – QUOTIDIAN
^{18:00 | Season: 2 | Episode: 1 | March 4th, 2019}

Series 2 of the Good Words Podcast kicks off with this episode about “QUOTIDIAN.” Host Lynn Hickernell explains the word’s two related meanings, with the help of an excerpt from James Boswell’s journal regarding Dr. Samuel Johnson, and also poems by Emily Dickinson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Also featuring, “GET IT?!?!?” and the song, “Toothbrush Dance.”

Interview with a Jaguar (Bonus)
^{04:46 | March 2nd, 2019}

Ever wonder what makes Jaguar… well Jaguar? We dive deep into the mind behind the feline in this interview. We cover favorite foods, vacation spots, Thanksgiving carols (what?) and more in this bonus episode.

How Is But Why Made? What Is Sound?
^{29:44 | Episode: 86 | March 1st, 2019}

In this episode of But Why, we’re answering your questions about…us! Why do you make But Why? How are podcasts made? And we’re answering questions about the physics of sound and radio. What is sound and how is it made? Why are sound waves invisible? How do echoes work? How do microphones work? How do radio signals work? Answers to your sound and radio questions from our VPR colleagues: sound engineer Chris Albertine and Chief Technology Officer Joe Tymecki.

Squirrels
^{25:48 | February 27th, 2019}

In this episode, we speak to squirrel expert Amanda Robin, a PhD student at UCLA. She taught us about the fascinating world of squirrels, including how they decide to store or eat their nuts, what chunking is, and other cool facts about squirrels. THEN we have a “who would win” battle: squirrel v. rattlesnake. Think it’s hands-down rattlesnake? Think again.

My air came from where?! How oxygen gets around
^{00:28:00 | February 26th, 2019}

Oxygen is quite the savvy traveler. We explore how this gas travels all around the world and ends up pretty much everywhere for us to breathe. Plus we’ll look at how plants and others make the stuff. And we learn how oxygen ended up on Earth in the first place (hint: it involves super space explosions!). We’ll make friends with some molecules, hear about a tiny fart that changed the world and guess an all new mystery sound. Oh, and this week’s Moment of Um asks: “if a poisonous snake bit itself, would it die?” This episode is sponsored by Visit Panama City Beach (VisitPanamaCityBeach.com), KiwiCo (kiwico.com/brainson), Quip (getquip.com/brainson) and Calm (calm.com/brainson).
